Apparently, February is a very popular month for birthdays. The month is kicked off with Caitlyn's on the 1st, followed by my friend Kayla's on the 4th, then mine on the 10th, Kylie's on the 12th, and finally my grandpa's on the 25th! In the mist of celebrations, will be the Super Bowl of course. Our house will be full of college students from church. Followed by the Nashville Conference on Church and Theology at church. I'm pretty excited about this conference. Our guest speaker is John MacArthur! I've heard him speak a few times at the Resolved Conference and he's a great speaker.
The last day of the conference, my mom leaves for a conference she is attending alone in Indiana. When she returns, the Knutson Klan will be here. This year is Angie and Jeremy's 10th anniversary for which they are going on a little vacation alone (well mostly) and leaving the 3 older kids with me for the week. I will have them till Friday, when my friend Kayla and I will head for Indiana. We will spend Saturday having fun and sightseeing together. We are super excited!! :) Then Sunday, I am shooting a wedding ALONE! Yes, alone. My first solo wedding. I'm really excited/terrified! Of all the things to go wrong on someone's wedding day you don't want it to be the pictures! So we will see how it goes. I'm just so grateful to have the opportunity to do this for them.
Luckily, the week following the wedding is just a normal week with all my child care jobs. Nothing too major going on. However, the next few months will be exciting as well. For the past few months Clay and I have been collecting any loose change and cash we make and putting in a jar (which recently graduated to a bucket). That stuff adds up quick! We have more than I thought we would. Anyway, because he will be leaving for 5 months to go to Naval boot camp and advanced training, I wanted to take a little vacation with him. So in March, over his spring break, we are driving to my sister's in Virginia for about 5 days. We will spend some time with Knutsons watching movies and eating cookies, I'm sure, and then we are all taking a day and going to Washington, D.C to tour the museums. We have all been there before of family trips, but I thought it would be really fun since Clay has never been. We will be going to most of the Smithsonians and then the Spy museum, which I'm not sure what all they have in there but it sounded like a lot of fun!!
So that is my big trip in March. However, in April we will be traveling even further from home! My parents and I will be participating in a missions trip to Beruit, Lebanon. They both went on last years trip and without much convincing I decided I wanted to share their excitement. I am really, really looking forward to this trip! I have never been out of the country, so I'm sure it will be a major culture shock as well as a much needed learning experience. I have already been amazed at the generosity of those giving towards our trip and I'm anxious to see how God will use us in this foreign land.
So as you can see the next few months are going to be super crazy so forgive me if I don't post for a while,but I will be sure to post pictures of all my activities. :)
