Be confidant....

Be confident in this one thing that God, who has begun a good work in you, will complete it.
(Phil 1:6)

I think I have started a blog with this scripture before. I just think it says so much for us. I am awake in the middle of the night with aching hips. I've tried all my positive thinking tricks and a few stretching exercises, so now I will just try ignoring them. O right...like they just don't exist!

Mario and I should be looking good for the NCAA pool. I drew North Carolina and UCLA out of the hat for us, and they are both in the Final Four in separate brackets after tonight's games. So am I right in thinking we have a 50-50 chance of winning? Well, it was fun watching North Carolina beat Louisville tonight, and that big boy in the middle was looking so stellar. Hope his next two games are that good!

We went to the Mexican restaurant for dinner tonight, and lately I seem to have trouble afterwards. Maybe I am going to have to stick to rice and beans when I eat there. I have already cut out the salsa, thinking that was it. I love Mexican food, not the hot and spicy stuff, but apparently most of it is very acidic, and I can't tolerate that any more. Or maybe I just need to stick to cheeseburgers!

Talked to Chris and Maria today on the webcam. Makenna looks like a great big baby doll. Chris is going to be traveling in April with some US Military Brass. First he goes to Washington, DC, then to South America. The Military is taking about 40 US Fortune 500 Company CEOs, mayors from several big cities, and business leaders to several military installations throughout the world to show them what our military is trying to accomplish in these places. It is an ambassador program called the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference. He was nominated for this program by the local base commander at the Yuma Proving Ground, I think that's right. It will be an interesting experience for him.

Blake's soccer team played today, and he scored for the third game in a row. So we are psyched about that! He has worked hard to make that body stronger this year, and it has helped a lot. He will be at the high school next year and will have to work hard for his spot on the soccer team. But we know he can do it!

Looking forward to Idolmaniac Party#2 on Tuesday in Jacksonville. I am brushing up on Dolly Parton songs, and I'll be ready to perform with the other Couch Sistas if the spirit moves me!
