HEADING TO MEXICO!

Well, it's been awhile since my last post-it's been a busy couple months. I don't have much time-which is probably good-so here is a quick update:
**MB, Isaac and Pearce leave tomorrow, March 5th, to go visit Mikaela in Mexico..WOO-HOO! It is Family Weekend and we are soooo excited to see her. Here is her blog, again, for those of you interested in following her on her adventure:

**Spencer is unable to join us in Mexico (frown) because he is "starring" in a play at George Fox (smile, clap, cheer). It is an 18-century romantic comedy, The Triumph of Love, and he is THE love interest! (questionable brow furrow) Check out the website, tickets are still available, come have a night of fun, I'm sure you will not be disappointed....I don't know that for sure, but Spencer is performing....it should be fantabulous!!

**We have been hit hard this winter with all the flus and viruses going around. Isaac had influenza last month and Pearce currently has bronchitis, (thankfully he is well enough to travel) and we all shared a few other bugs in between these. The boys missed alot of their basketball season due to illness and that was a definite bummer for all of us. They didn't mind missing all those days of school, but their sports is another story!
**Isaac's freshman basketball team went UNDEFEATED this season: 20-0....AMAZING!!
**Pearce's 7th grade team finished 3rd and has their 1st playoff game tonight. Pearce is sick and their other 2 posts are out. This team always gives it their all and never gives up, so we will see!
**MB is back teaching at Timberhill Athletic Club and I am loving it. I'm hoping this will help me fit into some of my summer clothes....THIS summer! I am attending and helping with the Grief Share Workshop (www.griefshare.org) at my church, NWHills Community. I took this class last summer and it has been very helpful and encouraging to take it again. Some days-one breath at a time....most days-one moment at a time...all days-one day at a time!

Well, that's it for now. I'm off to do another load of laundry, run some errands, hoping not to yell at my kids too much as I'm frantically packing and trying to remember everything! May God Bless each one of you in whatever season of life you are in right now. Remember this always:
LIFE IS HARD....GOD IS GOOD...DON'T GET THE TWO MIXED UP!!

Trusting in a Good God,
MBA
