MARCH...because its march.

So long story short, there's this kid hanging out at work with us. He happens to be the boss's grandson...he's about 6. He idolizes me, I think he's the cutest thing ever, it works out well for us. Needless to say he's by my side most of the time he's with us, which is ok by me.

The point is, we were walking through the greenhouse to go get a plant for something and he stops me in my tracks and goes. WAIT! We have to MARCH! I was like huh? why? And he giggles and says, BECAUSE ITS MARCH!!! So I started marching.... I asked him what we do when it becomes April, and he wasn't quite sure. I told him to ask his teacher and let me know so I can be prepared.

Anywho, the purpose of this post was to recap March, now that its over...and I'm no longer marching.

Top 5 happenings:

1. I met Shane Claiborne...and it changed my life. But really it didn't. It was pretty sweet to get to meet him, I LOVE his thoughts on life and faith, but the truth is, I didn't leave radically ready to take on the world. Which is probably a good thing.

2. Due to the spontaneous midweek drive to see Shane Claiborne, I was able to have random midweek dinner with a couple of my favorite people. It was oodles of fun, and I miss them terribly.

3. I gave up Facebook. Mainly for lent....though I do use it on Sundays. It has been VERY good for me. I found myself in more face to face conversations with people, and instead of writing a random thing on their "wall" I found out how they REALLY were doing...which was pretty fantastic. I'm considering giving this up long term...

4. I saw Chris Tomlin, Israel Houghton and New Breed in concert. It was pretty incredible. Also a highlight of this evening was running into a friend from a trip I was on two years ago. It was pretty great catching up with her, even if only briefly.

5. I officially became a member of the church I have been attending. This is a HUGE step for me. My "papers" are still at the church I grew up in, which I haven't been to in years. It is good to commit to a community of believers, and truly say...I'm walking the next part of the road with you.
