Ok so it's been a while ... since last year to be exact!! So what has happened since then?Nothing major. I passed my state boards got ride of the "A" and just kept the RN, I am getting used to that still.
The boys are wild as march hares and that is fine with me until I need them to sit still, so basically nothing has changed. They are getting big. Connor has had a birthday, he is 6 now. Gosh they just keep getting bigger. Easton is getting so mature. Who would of thought an almost 8 year old would use the word 'communicate' vs. talk, but he does, and I love it. He had a little incident at school and it just showed me how awesome God is and that his power and mercy is always with us. For Easton he enjoyed his first ride in the ambulance. I was so blessed with the outpouring of love, support, and prayer from our friends and family at Church.
Oh yeah and we moved ... twice in 6 months, yippee, yeah not so much. I hate the 3rd floor and I will NEVER move above ground level again! I love my small group who helped me get totally packed in one night. And about that I could not have made this current 2nd move with out the help of the guys at PCC who gave up a weekday night to help me get a totally packed storage room moved into my apartment and then set up my kids bunk beds (to which I lost most of the parts, but they got more for me ... they were totally great!) and then my car broke down. Nothing like an emergency brake to stop you or the 2 deer I hit in one week ... go figure.
For me I am still at PCC and loving what God is readily showing up at doing through and with the people at PCC. I cannot imagine being or going to Church anywhere else. My kids actually sat through 'adult' service for the first time this year ... YEAH!! and I didn't have to miss Church because there was no children's ministry. So that was a big milestone. E.N.U.F. .... need I say more?Reminds me of that buff J.Lo movie I know, but it's not. That's the name of my small group!! And for those who missed it, I let Kelley (yes Ms. deeplove herself) talk me and the rest of my small group into doing a skit in front of the entire Church, both services on the BIG stage!! Yes, me the shy one. I think it went well, although we just re-debated it this past week. Ok so we didn't win the Small Group Olympics but we did good at the Picnic, we won Tug of War, that has to count for something, right?? All and all it was a good 2008 for me, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us in 2009.

I love Kristal Bennett. Her sons. Her smile. Her calmness. Her trust. Her ability to face anything with a sigh and say..it is what it is. I am thankful that 2008 allowed her to get so much for she deserves NOTHING but the best!
In the words of Karen, there is no sense in getting your panties in a twizzle over things that you simply cannot control. Why get my blood pressure sky high?!? It wasn't always that way but I have done a major overhaul, funny the good things that came from divorce.
I am glad you can see some calmness cause it sometimes seems as though I am swimming in a sea of chaos.
