My First Blog!

I decided to give in and try this blogging thing out. I used to blog a lot in college, but soon gave it up when I moved out on my own and didn't have the internet. But I see so many wonderful people who are keeping me updated on their lives, and I love being informed. I thought I'd join in, since I have a little girl on the way, and I'm sure many people will want updates and pics when that happens.

So, what's going on for the Marklund's right now? Since October, Paul and I have become part-time youth leaders at our church. Its going really well. Paul and I have always seen the potential in of what we call "the bus kids," and now we're starting to see some really positive change taking place. Segregation between the regular Sunday church attendees and the "bus kids" seems to be almost non-existant. We see more interaction and more questions being asked. Also, more consistancy with who is there each week, which makes it a whole lot easier to get to know them more on a personal level when their attendance is consistant.

I also have a baby shower this weekend! This is something that makes it more of a reality that I'm going to have a baby in just under 3 months!! We've asked Jenn Farnsworth to capture some moments on film, so hopefully I'll have some baby shower pictures to share with you after the weekend (thanks again Jenn!).

I guess I'll leave it at that for now. I'll see all my LAOG peeps this weekend! Yay!! :)
