January 2009 Update

Okay so I'm going to at least post a monthly update for the So Cal Newbs

Doug - work could not be any busier - especially when the economy is so bad - thank you Jesus!
This Sunday the basketball league started up again - Go Fly Slama Jama Boys!
He is leading our small group in an awesome study of Revelations and tutors two nights a week to a young man from Iran learning english.

Kelly - work has been very busy with year end and I'm actually working most of the week - I like those paychecks though and can't complain since I work for a bank and still have a job.
I started working out with a personal trainer at the gym and he's killing me! It's a good killing though and I hope to continue to see good results.
I will start up Life Hurts God Heals next week for thirteen weeks. Hanging with teenagers on Friday nights - what could be better?

MacKenzie - started her last semester at Irvine Valley College and then it's off to Northern California. Still not sure which school.
She is nannying four days a week for two of the cutest little boys ever.

Hailey - started her last semester as a high school student - yahoo graduation in June! Working at Fantastic Sams and thankful to have a job - things are tough for teenagers around her. Still dating Donothan and anxious to see him start competing.

Okay that pretty well covers January! As we end the month let me just share that it was about 80 degrees today which is so nice! Sorry all of you that live where the ice storms are and the cold temperatures - we would share if we could!

SORRY FANS!

I must say I'm sorry for not paying more attention to the BLOG. I have to admit my latest addiction is to my FACEBOOK account. It has been so fun finding classmates from almost 30 years ago and trying to figure out who is who. One of the classmates uploaded several year book pictures which did help.

As for the BLOG - I do check it daily to see all the other updates from those that are good about updating. I do hope to continue to update occasionally.

We love the Groff's

Great big thank you to our dear friends Darrell, Dana, Kyle and Nate and let's not forget cute Molly! Dana the dinner was awesome ~ especially the cake!



Kyle - next time try and not be so serious okay?



Rockband was way too cool!





Don't tell but we stole the pictures from their Blog!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

I guess I'm a real party pooper as I was in bed last night at 9:30 - no real big excitement at our house that's for sure.

The girls did go to the New Years Party at the church for high school and college kids - still sleeping so not sure how it went.

This is going to be an exciting year with many changes. With all change comes anxiety and stress but remember to always find the things to be thankful for and not let the changes get you down!
