TO SAVE A LIFE MOVIE

I wanted to share with all of you this exciting new project Matthew and I are involved with in our church here in Great Falls. As many of you might know, Matthew and I are leaders for the youth group, and that is how we first heard about this project. Our church, Harvest Springs is putting on a city-wide event to show the movie To Save A Life. It is an amazing movie that focuses on issues that teens face today in school, family, and personal lives. This started off as just a movie night for our youth group and has turned into an exciting event to host the students of Great Falls at the Mansfield Theater in downtown for a free showing of this movie. This theater holds 1,700 people and we are also going to have an overflow area. This is all taking place May 12 at 7:00pm. That is only 14 days away! We have so much to do! I am asking for prayer. Please be in prayer for our church staff, for open hearts in the schools and community and for the volunteers that are helping. Also, that we can get things that need to be done finished quickly, and we remember God is in total control and this is for His glory. We are so excited about this and the major change that can come from this movie.

At the top of our blog you can watch a movie trailer. Enjoy!

Bake Sale

Last week the spouses of the 490th MS had a bake sale! It was so much fun. Some of us got together Tuesday night to bake and talk, and talk and bake. We had a great assortment of items, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, fudge toffee bars, cupcakes, one of the ladies even made cinnamon rolls from scratch the morning of! They were amazing; I can't wait to get the recipe. We made about $100.00 profit. We even had competition the day of with a breakfast burrito sale downstairs. The money we made goes toward welcome gifts for new families, baby gifts... It is the first bake sale I have ever organized and I am very happy with how it turned out. Last but not least I got to meet more of the guys in Matthew’s squadron, which is great because now I know who he is talking about when he tells me about his day. I can’t wait for our next one!

PS I totally forgot about my camera so I didn’t get any pictures, bummer!

Spring is in the Air... I am so ready

I am so unmotivated to do anything inside the house at all. It has been beautiful weather here in Great Falls and all I want to do is sit outside and read or work on the yard and get ready to garden. Friends tell me not to get to comfortable because there is always snow in May and June, but I say look at the glass half full and don’t worry about snow. I might add that we did have about eight inches just last week. Matthew and I got a new bistro table for our front porch on Saturday and I have to say I don’t see how I lived without it. I have been reading while Matthew does homework, sipping ice tea and watching the sun pass overhead. I even got my first slight sunburn of the season yesterday, it was 78 degrees out! This morning after a good workout at the gym Matthew and I sat and had coffee out on the deck (I had coffee Matthew had a smoothie) and watched as our neighborhood woke up. We also had four psychotic birds dive bomb us, Matthew got pecked in the ankle. Needless to say, bring on summer, swimming, running outside, long walks and afternoons at the dog park. I am ready!

The picture is one my grandpa took of the tulip festival in Washington. AMAZING BOPPA!
