About Dad and Mom

Believe it or not, Brandon and I actually do things for ourselves once in a while. Brandon started rowing for OG&E corporate rowing team in the spring of 2010. They have two regatta's a year. The first regatta was in June where they placed 2nd and the last one they just had was Oct. 8 where they placed 3rd. They were mere seconds behind boats one and two. They rowed a 1.51 this time. They do their practices on Friday nights, which I am not a fan of due to him being away during the evening. But other than that Brandon and I love it. OKC is building a bunch of new things on the river so it's actually become a really neat place to go and enjoy. I'm so proud of Brandon and his new hobby.
He is also going to be starting on a basketball league this winter while rowing in on a break.

As for me I have been working out with Body and Soul for over a year. I am so passionate about this group of women I get to go worship with and workout with. Everyone is so encouraging and uplifting. I don't know what I would do without it. I workout M/W/F from 9:15-10:15. My instructor approached me early this summer about auditioning to be and instructor. I told her I'd have to do a lot of praying about it. I am not naturally a leader or so I think anyways. Well she approached me again about a starting a class at the church I attend. So after talking to a few people and praying extra hard about it I finally decided it was the right thing for me and our family to do. So after submitting an application, having an hour long phone interview and a "video interview" I was excepted. I am now a Body and Soul instructor. My class will start on January 18th on T/F from +:45-10:45. I was just CPR certified and now I have to start studying for my ACE exam that I'll take in a year. (Never too early to start studying right?)

I am SO excited about the group of women I'll be working with. I can't wait to see where God takes this class and how many doors will be opened up for so many people. I can't wait to see Him work through this ministry. That's what's been happening with us along with work, managing a house and keeping up with a very very busy toddler.
