So maybe it hasn't been quite five million years since I last blogged, but it has been quite a while. I sort of forgot about it for a while...I still read everyone else's blogs, though. :D
Life has been really great lately. Nathan and I finally found a church we both like. That's not an easy thing to do when you come from different church backgrounds. It was sort of an accident, actually. We'd been going to Bethlehem Baptist lately, but I didn't feel at home. Then we were staying in Eden Prairie for the weekend because we had a conference, and we decided to go to Grace Church there because Nathan had been there before and liked it. And also, we overslept and they have a 10:30 service. :D
And I loved it. It's a big church, but it has endless amounts of small groups that we can get involved in. The worship was great (contemporary, but I didn't feel like I was at a concert either), and the pastor is awesome. The preaching is extemporaneous, which is something that I really wanted in a church. The down side is that it IS in Eden Prairie, which makes for a good half-hour drive on Sunday mornings, but a good church we BOTH like is worth the drive.
Other new events...well, as most of you know, I am not returning to school this fall. Nathan is, however, and he's looking forward to classes starting at the end of this month. Summer has gone by so fast! But to all you college fanatics, you can relax, because I am, without a shadow of a doubt, returning in the spring. It's all set. I'm sure by the time first semester is half over, I'll be dying to go back to school. Nathan is glad I'm taking a break, because it will give me time to do his homework. :D
I do start volleyball on Monday, which I am looking forward to with both excitement and nerves. What I'm NOT looking forward to is all that time in an unairconditioned gym. On the happy side, this preseason I will be the one blowing the whistle, not the one running my ass off. :D
So there you have it...a Lissa Hoarn Life Update. I'll try to keep up the whole blogging thing...no promises though.
Love to all!
