Random Thoughts

Hi! This post will be a random post of different things! We have been busy the past 3 weeks, including this week, with soccer tournments. Last week-end, Will's AYSO team won the regional tournament, and our other Hartselle team took 2nd. Both teams are in the state tournament this week-end. Will's team won their 2 games today and have one game tomorrow. Hoping for a 1, 2 sweep by Hartselle. Today was COLD! The temps were in the hi 40s but with the wind, brrrr! It felt more like 30s!

Am I the last person to discover Facebook? I know it's for or was started for students, but now everyone seems to have access. I'm having fun discovering "old" friends from high school and pharmacy school! By old I mean I knew you several years ago, and am getting reacquainted. I am not insinuating any of my Facebook friends are old! While it's fun, I think the Facebook premise plays on our curiosity about other peoples' lives. Have you ever got caught up in looking through your friends profiles, checking out pictures of people you don't even know, and sending virtual gifts, stickers, pins, etc. to all your friends? I do like the fact that I feel more connected to some friends I don't talk to often enough.

I'm excited about Thanksgiving. Nathan, Chelsea and Avery are coming to our house! We can't wait! While Nathan and Chelsea have, of course, been here, it will be Avery's first trip to KayK's house!

Junior High soccer tryouts are this coming week! Good luck to all the boys going out for the team. While we are finishing AYSO and club soccer, school conditioning will start the week after Thanksgiving. Conditioning will continue the rest of this year. Formal practice using the soccer ball will start in January and games will be in February and March. To be considered a spring sport, it is during a cold and wintry season!

Congrats on the soccer teams success! Kristi got me "legally" registered on Facebook and you are right. It is addictive! I am very new at it and not sure I am doing the right thing but it is fun and very interesting!
You are going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the new little one in your home!
Love you
Sharron

Karen,
I for one am thrilled to have facebook as a more immediate way to connect more often with friends and family I see maybe once a year (unless there is a wedding or funeral...eee) and getting a chance to know or get better acquainted with Siesta's who share the same love of our Savior and the love of my life, Jesus Christ.
Don't you just love how God uses all this technology to make this body of Christ so much more intimate?
cyber hug and blessings,
tammy

Tammy,

I know what you mean. Technology gets a bad rap often, but there are many positive aspects to it. Getting to know other Siestas is a big plus as is connecting with old friends and just keeping up with others in our busy lives! It does allow us to become so much closer to our fellow believers. The more folks out there to pray and encourage, the better!
