Wanna come over for coffee...I mean a latte?

Yes, yes, it's true, I finally "invested" in a home espresso machine. And, yes again, I chose to buy the fancy one. I've been researching machines for weeks, reading hundreds of reviews, hmming and haaing over the price tag, etc. I finally pulled the trigger last week, and the box finally arrived today.
So now, with just the touch of a button, and just a few moments, I have a very good cup-o-joe. The engineer in me also takes pleasure in the gadgetry. Hee hee...I'm almost giddy about my new machine.

Church Shopping

I had the blessing to spend many years in the same church in Spokane and grew to understand why God wants us to be involved in the Body of Christ. I find myself in Billings now, and I can honestly say that I miss my church body more than anything else. (That's saying something too...because I miss alot of things in my Spokane life.) I long took for granted the importance of consistent fellowship, grounded and biblical teaching, and opportunities to invest in the lives of others.

I've been to three separate churches now, trying to attend each a handful of times. I've yet to find a church to call home. In the meantime, I'm starving for good fellowship and a place to serve.

This move has been hard. I'm struggling with loneliness, and questioning why I chose to move here. Do I choose a church that I know I will have fundamental disagreements with, or do I continue to shop? What a struggle.

Get'n Ready for Baby

My sister, Kristen, is expecting her baby in early March. So, it's time to get that baby room done, already! ;-) So, I spent the weekend painting closet doors, a bookshelf, and an old dresser white. We got registered at Target, enlarged and framed some prints, and painted some more. By the time I left, the baby room was looking ready for it's owner. Mission complete.
