I&#8217;m not going to lie&#8230;when I do have a chance to sit down and update the blog, I just don&#8217;t want to!

I have missed having an actual women&#8217;s Bible study and simply just needed it.  So I called Jen up because I knew she was going to the one at Northwest Bible and luckily a new study was starting this month so I was able to start it.  So every Wednesday after work I get to see Jen and then go to a Bible study&#8211;it&#8217;s great!! We catch up on what&#8217;s going on in our lives and helps me get through the week.  I&#8217;ve missed getting to see her and spend time with her as often as we used to&#8230;I guess that&#8217;s what happens when you live that far apart and both have busy lives.  But, I&#8217;m thankful for the times we do get to spend together.<\/p>\n<p>We have started getting ready for spring around our house.  Last week we pulled up some bushes and planted two rose bushes in the front and today we added more mulch to the flower beds and I put out the weed killer&#8230;and in a few weeks it&#8217;ll be time for the fertilizer.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/3314866359\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Small\" title=\"Day 160 ~ 365 Days Project\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3317\/3314866359_690f40b824_m.jpg\" alt=\"Day 160 ~ 365 Days Project\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a\n\nThe last week has been kind of stressful for me health wise but we're hoping it all gets better soon and I'll keep you posted on it.
