During a conversation with a sixth grader about the relationships, politics, and general interactions of twelve year olds...
"Then he told her [such and such], well actually he didn't say it. He wrote her that in a note because, you know, everything in sixth grade is done through a note."
How true!

Coming Up for Air
Since it has been almost a month since I've written and because I don't want to lose all of my readers I thought I should probably add a post.
So let me just say...Life is crazy busy. I usually really like the beginning of a new year. I like feeling like my slate is clean and I can once again become organized for at least a couple of months. This year I was even more excited because my wonderful brother and sister-in-law got me a very nice Franklin Covey planner for Christmas. So I was ready to be organized for 4 months at least instead of just 3...well maybe 2...alright for more than a couple of weeks. But, I think God was just kind of laughing at all my good intentions knowing full well that life was going to start speeding up and I was just going to be holding on to dear life praying that I wouldn't fall.
Because so much has happened in the past month I thought I would just give the highlights. So they are as follows...
-Christmas was great! I had a blast with all of my family and playing on the Wii. I am so totally a guitar hero, just let me tell you.
-My nephew (pictured in the first photo) thinks that I live in the phone. When my mom asked him where I came from when I got to their house his reply was "outta the phone." Now when my mom asks where is Megan he grabs and points at the phone's display and replies, "Maynan is right there." I guess I need to visit more often in person than just calling.
-I've started some new responsibilities with my counseling job that have taken up most of my time. They are more administrative and a little overwhelming especially because peoples paychecks rely on me getting everything done in a timely manner. They best quote about me taking on the new responsibilities was from my senior minister when he said, "Gee, and to think I knew you when you were just a grubby grad student." Thanks, Dick!
-Work at the church has been a little crazy too. We have a new logo and theme for children's ministry. And already planning has started for summer activities. It's kind of hard to think about summer when your feet feel like they are frozen for most of the day.
-Ohio State lost the national championship game...again. But that does not keep my family from loving them.
(The hat that keeps showing up in all the pictures is actually Bryant's)
-Duke beat UNC in the first game of the season. Hooray. The next showdown is set for March 8th. Hopefully they will play just as great at home as they did away.
-And lastly, I have been trying to maintain my "in person" relationships as much as possible which means I have seen quite a few movies, gone to dinner with lots of friends, and basically just had a good time connecting with them. Last night was one of those instances where all three of the above were included, and as I'm sure you can guess with some fun results.
So, yeah, that is basically what's been happening in my little life. Nothing really exciting and I'm pretty sure I've forgotten all the funny and interesting tidbits I could have shared but hopefully now that I've caught you up I will become regular at this blogging thing again.
