So, last Sunday, a week ago, I became a member of the First United Methodist Church here. It was so exciting! I just felt this call to join that Sunday. The Pastor asked if any one wanted to join on the First Sunday of Lent and I felt this pull to go up to the front. Travis couldn't join yet because he is not baptized, but he will be a full member of the church on March 22!! Thats right, my wonderful husband will be baptized along with our beautiful baby boy on March 22, 2009 at the 10:50 service.
My grandparents, older sister, and maybe my oldest's sisters kids will be there. They are coming down for the weekend which makes this all even better! My Grandpa has not been to our new house yet. It will be a truly blessed weekend. I plan on making all sorts of yummies, like Chicken Stirfry, meatloaf, a cute Bible cake with Trav's and Wyatts name and their baptism date. Oh I just can't wait!!! The hard question now is...white cake or chocolate? Maybe both...hmm...
Now speaking of Bibles, we just bought our whole family new engraved Bibles! Mine is aqua and lime, my favorite colors, with an orange strap on it. Trav got a traditional one with gold page edges, and we got Wyatt a black leather Bible with two white leather stripes around it. They are soo nice!
Now for something not so nice...daylight savings time. Ugh, I hate this horrible day. Its not too bad in the fall when you gain an hour, but losing an hour is soo hard! Especially when you have a bit of insomnia and can't fall asleep until 3 er..I guess 4 am! And have to get up at 8 for Church. Now I remember reading about how they are adding a minute a day or something because the
Earth's rotation is slowing down, or vice versa or something along those lines. My question is why can't they just get rid of DST? Its pointless! What states are those that has gotten rid of it? Arizona maybe? They are the smart ones, they know it is a dumb dumb dumb idea, that just messes with peoples' bodily clocks.

So Tuesday, we went to Church for their Mardi Gras celebration. We got there late because it was at 5:30 and by the time we got us all ready when Travis got home from work, it was 5:30. But we still had fun. They had the cutest children's box parade. The kids and their parents decorated boxes for Mardi Gras. The winner had his box decorated like Noahs Ark. 3rd Place was dressed up like a peacock, because their last name was peacock!
We went to the Ash Wednesday service as well at the Church. It was the first time I had communion in I don't know when! They also put ash on my forehead. First time I ever I that done. I thought it was interesting. Afterwards, they had a hamburger supper. It was delicious. We sat with these 4 older women, they were all enthralled with Wyatt! But who can blame them ha!! Afterwards, we went to Walmart and just killed time.
It is such a nice day out, but really its pretty hot! 83 degrees and its only February! Geez! I think it will be a hot summer this year :( Good thing we live real close to Lake Texoma and an awesome pool! Woohoo! We looked at swim stuff for Wyatt, and I think we will get him one of those float rings with a bonnet on top. Its for 6 months-12months, so it will be perfect for his lil tushie! Now we just need to get him a bathing suit, and a swim diaper.
It has been nice not having to cook dinner for the past two nights! Tonight though, we are having steak and sweet potatoes. If I hurry, we can also have yeast rolls! Mmm. Well, I gotta go so I can make those rolls!
