It is almost May!

Hi all!
It has been a little while. Lets see, to be honest, I am not for sure what we did the week of the 16th. I know it wasn't as crazy as some weeks. Maybe I slept through it "-)
Chris went fishing Wednedsday by himself. He was glad to do that. Thursday he went out with Hannah all day and then that night he fished with Brett. It was a good couple of days. Nathan was acting ill, or he and I would have done something. He seemed better over the weekend. Of course, his best friend, Caleb's birthday party was that day, so he had to be, right?
They were so cute to watch together. They were like glue to one another. I am so glad they have each other. Nathan got to do the fun machine for Caleb and they spent most of the skating party in the middle jumping on moving lights and falling down. They were laughing so hard together. It was so neat to watch.
Monday, he and I did have our date, which was nice. Tuesday Chris was off, so we had a family night of reading books and such. Yesterday was a day of PTA board stuff. I am going to be on it and it was neat to be in the room and hear how things went this year and the changes we can make for the next year. I am really excited for the responsiblity and the activity I will be in the kids school. The others I am with are a fun group to be with.
My initiation to that will be sometime in May. Also, yesterday, Chris found out that he got nomiated and accepted into the Management Training Program. Pretty much that is when someone of upper management sees that you have potential and wants to see how far up the ladder you could go. After being accepted, you have to take like a 2 hour test that determines where you best fit in Lowes Corporate and then how far you have the potential to go.
After that test, if you want to pursue the climb, you do some projects for the company and spend a week sometime at headquarters. When that is complete, then whatever level you work towards you become and Lowes majorly promotes you.
Chris is really excited about it. He talked with his Human resource manager, Beck Irwin, and they scheduled his test for next Thursday. So you might be keeping that in your prayers. He is really nervous and excited at the same time.
He wants to do whatever God leads him to do, but is frustrated with where he is the the lack of response in his department. He would like to be able to help others avoid that stress.

Tomorrow Hannah has a field trip, which I would love to go on, but I kept Nathan home today because he was feeling sick to his stomach and was running a fever. So, we will see. Someone said that the stomach flu is making another round around here. I hope not.
Chris has the weekend off and is planning on going fishing again. We are planning on meeting Mom and Dad in Atchison this Sunday after church.
Hope you all are well!
Until next time, our love and prayers!!
