May in review

here's a bit for me to remember may:

• spent the saturday before mother's day hanging out with my mom. checked out the etsy-rain craft fair - i'll definitely do that again!
  
• went on the leadership journey 2011 trip to california.
  
• disneyland!!
  
• got my "vision" back. more on that later.
  
• what i read: courageous leadership
  
• finished & submitted my application for ordination!
  
• began planning our kids ministry team dinner, happening june 9.
  
• spent part of memorial day weekend at the lakehouse w/ the fam.
  
• relaunched our community group for summer quarter - trying something new: dinner! it's fun to contribute a part of it and not have to think about cooking dinner for ourselves that night! way less work than i expected, actually.
  
• started getting our back yard into "haven"-shape. two garden beds are being built, the hammock is soon to be set up, bbq is out and ready for love, and we dusted off our fire-pit for the first time this season!
