Kyle got a promotion at work. We were not exactly expecting it but we are so thankful for it! It was just one of those things that happens really fast. Someone quit and they never posted the job, they just offered it to Kyle if he wanted it. Seriously. So he started yesterday and he's moved from the desktop support team to the networking team. He'll have a lot more work so he'll stay busy! I believe his official title is IT System Engineer.
The softball season is wrapping up with just a few more games to go! Kyle got a standing triple last night, his first of the season! Sweet! He saved it for a game when I could actually be there to see it. YAY!
I spent all day last Friday working in downtown Raleigh with the NC Baptist Men to help clean up some of the mess the tornadoes caused. I have to say, the NCBM have got it going on. I was totally impressed with their operation and all of the volunteers. I was put on a debris removal team. I was hoping Kyle could join me but he was in training for his new job and couldn't get out of work. I got sent with a crew of about six men to work on three different houses. The men sawed the fallen trees into pieces and I drug the pieces to a pile and then another guy came with a bobcat and hauled all the debris to the street. After eight hours I was pure exhausted! I enjoyed every minute of it though. It brought back so many memories of when I did World Changers for four summers when I was in high school. I loved the construction part of those trips and I would always be the first one to volunteer to get up on a roof. I miss those days! Such good times!

This past Sunday, Kyle and I participated in a Walk for Life for a pregnancy resource center right down the street from us. I have really come to love and appreciate this ministry and all that they do for so many women in our area. All of their services are free to the clients. They do free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, counseling, etc. It's really an amazing place and I was happy to do my part to help. You never know when someone you know and love might need that kind of help, love and encouragement to make the right decision.

Wedding season is here again. We know about 10 people getting married over the next few months. One of those people would be my gorgeous cousin Holly. I am going to be a bridesmaid in her July 30th wedding so I'm so excited! I went and ordered the dress (in apple red) and shoes today!
