Yes, We're Still Around...

I know, I know, we haven't posted in FOREVER. There's been a lot going on, and we are just enjoying our very full lives! I (Becky) have been swamped at work—the only reason I have time to post right now is that I'm waiting on Quark to finish an operation (surprise, surprise).

So what's new? Too much to mention in the span of 5 minutes, but here are a few things, in no particular order:

• Our church small group recently finished the book "Questioning Evangelism" by Randy Newman. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know how to share their faith with others in a respectful, conversational way. A few weekends ago some of us had the opportunity to attend an apologetics conference at the U of M, where Randy himself was one of the speakers! The conference was very informative and thought-provoking.

• Jason and I are taking a trip to London in March! We will be traveling with my dad and sister Emily, and seeing my cousin while we are there. We are SO excited!

• We recently traveled to Des Moines for a weekend to reunite with some of our closest college friends. It was a very relaxing weekend, and great to reconnect with everyone.

Hmm... that's all I can think of for the moment. Back to work—and we'll try to post more often!

Update

It has been a long week... we've been so busy! It's all been really good stuff (worship at church, shopping with Mom, small group, dinner with Heather) but I am feeling a little drained. Work has been going really well, but yesterday my boss had to take my lovely Mac Pro to the Apple Store for some major surgery. Turns out the motherboard is fried... they think. This is actually not as scary as it sounds (correct me if I'm wrong, tech people) - I'm gauging that by the fact that I have been told all my files will be returned to me. Whew! For the moment I am working on an iMac... and missing my giant theater-screen monitor. And hoping my computer is fixed before a big design deadline next week!

This weekend will be fun (and fast!), as we are travelling to MO! Highlights of the trip will include: seeing Greg in Des Moines, playing with our adorable (ahem - I mean handsome) nephews, seeing family, and being there to see Jason's dad receive a special award at the Smaller Churches Conference at CCCB. It should be a great time - I just hope we can get some sleep somewhere in there.

Have a good weekend!
