Long Time No Blog

(Scott) - Hello there.  Hope everyone is doing well and ready for the warmer weather.  Over a month has passed since our last post, so I would like to share some updates.  Since our last post we have attended Gary Chapman's Love Languages Conference that took place in the middle of nowhere, watched those Findley kids, celebrated Betsy turning a quarter of a century and are finishing up the Mere Christianity.

We were lucky enough to be able to attend Gary Chapman's Love Languages Conference in Anna, IL with our good friends Lauren and Jordan. Gary Chapman is becoming a household name for us and we are doing our part to ensure a comfortable retirement for this guy - we bought some more of his books at the conference but I have to admit, we can't get enough of what he writes. The conference was great and we learned a lot about relationships...the good, the bad, the ugly and how to handle the many issues that can arise during a relationship.  We highly recommend attending similar conferences.  It helped us to stay focused and we want to make it a yearly habit to attend this type of conference.  Although, we are attending one again soon, so maybe it will be a semiannual thing.  Oh yeah, the recent birthday girl is such a big fan that she wanted a pic with Mr. Chapman.

Over the past month, we also spent a weekend in Terre Haute watching the Findley kids during Indiana State's successful run at making the tournament.  Those kids are very sweet and a blast to watch. 

March is also the month of my favorite's birthday.  Betsy turned 25 and we celebrated with some shopping and great food at Kona Jack's.  I am so proud of Betsy and all the things she has accomplished in life.  I have seen her mature so much and I couldn't be happier to have her in my life.  I am very fortunate. 

We are also close to wrapping up another book, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.  This guy is a genius.  Not going to lie, some chapters are rather difficult to understand but the pieces that we comprehend are very profound.  Once finished with this book we plan to read one of the several Gary Chapman books we have and then revisit some Dave Ramsey to refocus on financial peace.

That's all for now from me...take care.
