March Blessings

I'm sitting here on my bed as Kyle organizes his piles of... well everything.. clothes, papers, junk. Now before you go thinking that I'm a bad wife not organizing his stuff for him, there is a thing you need to know about Kyle. He has a slight case of OCD. He doesn't want me to organize for him. So for the first time since I can remember we have an evening off to just enjoy each other as we "catch-up". (He has now stopped organizing to help me type this post)

We've had a CRAZY March. It has been really fun, but busy. We have been up in LA 3 weekends in a row.

Weekend number 1. Kyle and I decided to head to LA and give his parents some undivided attention. For the most part when we go back it's for a friends birthday party or something like that and so we only see his parents when we can squeeze them in for a quick meal.

This weekend we were there only to see them. It was great to catch up and hear all about how they are doing and how the Lord is growing them.

We also had yummy Thompson Tacos... my favorite!

Weekend number 2. Kyle had training in LA so I decided to go with him. I wanted make the most of my time so I. (deep breath...)

-Went to our old Bible Study where I caught up with friends, but particularly got to see my old pastor and his wife
- Met my dear friend Michelle at our favorite spot!
- Spent and afternoon with my sister
- Had a St. Patty's day themed meal with dear friends
- Stayed the night with Chloa. Time with her is always sweet
- Coffee with Jessica, we decided on coffee instead of breakfast for the sake of time, but took 2 hours talking anyway.
- Saw my sister again.
- Spent time with some dear family friends that I used to live with.
- Finally saw my hubby again, then we went to another friends house for games and dessert
- Stayed the night at a friends house, went to church (saw so many friends, could have talked all afternoon)
- Drove home and went to a friends house for dinner

Weekend number 3. My nephew David turned 4! We drove up Saturday morning for the Pirate Birthday Party. I will post pictures from it tomorrow. It was ADORABLE. Kyle and I miss the nephews and nieces like crazy! We love that we're close enough for things like birthday party's.

David is such a sweet boy. He is ALL boy, loves to play rough and get dirty, but he also loves to cuddle and is very tender hearted, especially for a 4 year old. He is so aware of people's feelings. He always says thank you. One of my favorite things to do with David is to say: "I love you" he'll respond with "I love you more" then I say "I love you most" and one day he looked at me and started saying "I love you mostest!"

After the birthday we saw Hunger Games with friends, crashed on a friends futon and came home in time for church this morning.

We aren't planning anything for April! (at least that's what we keep telling ourselves)
