Catching up

Had some great friends to visit us last week from El Paso. Had a great time but I didn't write a single post - so it's time to catch up!

Had a great time watching college basketball. Who would have thought that George Mason would be in the final four? Mike & Mike on ESPN said that out of the 5 million brackets filled out on their web site only 10 had George Mason in the final four. That is amazing! Go George Mason!! BTW - did you notice that two out of the final four are from the SEC? Congrats to Mike Anderson, former assitant coach to Nolan Richardson at Arkansas, on being hired at Missouri. He will do a great job.

Had a busy but good weekend. We had our annual dinner/auction to fund raise the youth group mission trip. (We raised $3000!) On Sunday we wrapped up our 40 Days of Purpose with a Celebration Sunday at Oquirrh Elementary. It was great to be in one assembly! Instead of a sermon - we had a mission fair! (For those that think we are in a rut in worship planning - we got out of the box yesterday!) For 20 minutes our folks went from booth to booth signing up for ministry! Love it! We finished up with a good ole fashion pot luck. It was the best attended pot luck in our history many said. Love the fellowship! It was a great weekend!

Gained five pounds last week! (didn't walk for a solid week!) So, now I'm back on "diet" mode for a while. I've got to get back to my daily 2 mile walk. I promised that I wouldn't get over 160 since loosing the weight last year. I went 9 months without gaining any weight!

Okay - I think that's it. Looking forward to the Final Four this weekend. Any predictions? The first Final Four without a number one seed since 1980. Should be exciting! I'm going with an all SEC final - LSU vs. Florida, with LSU winning it all. But I'll be rooting for George Mason!
