The Hazard Chronicles

Today I am writing this as I hold my sweet Maren girl who is very sick right now. I have to admit (and I even feel a little bit bad about this), that a part of me is glad that she is sick because that is when she cuddles the most. That’s horrible, I know, but I think that most parents know what I am talking about…maybe?

Anyway, this has been a pretty good week for us, but nothing super spectacular. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how we got passes to the Kroc center, and we are still loving them. Rachel and I both work-out three days of week, and I try to climb an additional three days besides. I have already seen pretty big  improvement in my climbing, and more importantly, I am starting to make some climbing friends who I think I will partner up with once the weather warms up.

Probably the biggest event of the week was when Rachel and I attended the “Red Carpet Premiere” of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a production put on by the Christian Youth Theater (CYT). Rachel and I help sponsor this amazing youth group, and this was a fun wine-and-dine-and-mingle event before the show where we got to meet other players in our community. Following the socialites (which I have never been totally comfortable with, but have learned to play the part pretty well), we enjoyed a top-notch show and feel that congratulations are in order for everyone involved. These kids are incredible, and their hard work has paid off in a big way. If our kids choose to, am excited for them to be a part of the program as they get older. Their youngest classes start at six years old, and Evelyn is already looking forward to making new friends and participating in a play later this spring.

Well, that’s about it for us. I’m going to finish here so I can help Rach get dinner on the table. Have a great week!

Rachel and I at the CYT event. It's too bad that it's such a blurry picture but it's all we had- Just know that Rachel was radiant that night.
