April 2013

Well, another month has come and gone.  Seriously, where does the time go?  I'm a little indifferent about the month of April.  A lot happened this month -- mostly good but there was a lot of stress too.  God is still God and He is so faithful!  I'm so blessed to serve an awesome, risen God!

April started off with another occupational therapy appointment for Landon's eating and sensory issues, we had brunch with Lee at Weck's, had a play date with the Pitliks, Lee and I had a date night to the George Strait concert and dinner, Lee worked on the weekend, and we had some Tucson friends in town and over to our house for a nice visit.



The following week was pretty low key.  Landon and I didn't really do a lot this week.  We did manage to go to breakfast with friends on Monday.  I had a doctor's appt on Friday and then our friend, Todd Adams, came into town to spend the weekend with us.  On Friday night we went to the top of the tram for dinner.  Then, on Saturday, we spent the morning with Landon at the park and then went to the UNM baseball game later that afternoon.  The guys had a fun dinner out that night, so I'm told!  On Sunday we went to Santa Fe that morning and had a blast.  I drove Todd around ABQ on Monday so he could see all the places where Breaking Bad is filmed.  It was very interesting and I'm glad I've seen the places now!




The third week was a good but busy week.  We had another OT session with Landon, lunch with Nicole, Lee's ambassador training session, babysat Micah, lunch with Lee, UNM basketball banquet, lunch with Devan & Micah, Lee went to Houston on Friday and Saturday to spend time with friends, and after church on Sunday we went to lunch with friends.  This week we also worked from afar on our house in Tucson.  Our renters moved out 5 months early so we've been fixing, painting, looking for new renters, etc. on that house.  All worked out and God blessed us with great, new tenants this weekend.  He is so faithful!  Thank you to all of our Tucson friends for helping us in a time of need.



The last week of the month was really busy! We had the Scholar-Athlete Banquet, Ambassador Kick-Off event, Landon's GI appt, Lee's friend Micah was in town playing a concert, and then we drove to Tucson to finalize things on our house before our new renters moved in.  While in Tucson, we spent half of Saturday doing things at the house (cleaning, pulling weeds, trash runs, making copies of keys, etc.) then we saw the Ingrams and Campbells at the Campbells house for the afternoon before going over to the Secrest's new house for dinner that night.  We are so blessed to have so many good friends in Tucson to visit when we're in town.  Landon slept AWFUL both nights so we got up really early on Sunday morning and headed back to ABQ.  We sure were glad to get back home!  Finally, we ended the month with another OT session for Landon and a date night for Lee and me. It was definitely much needed! :)



I hope your April was great and not as stressful as ours was at times!
