I am so excited! Well, for one, my wonderful boss is gone away to Japan on a mission trip for twelve days. And even though he's the greatest, I will still enjoy the time to get everything caught up here at the office and de-stress a little before youth camp.
If anyone knows (i.e., Vickie) - how long do blog entries stay "active." Or do they float away into cyber-nothingness after 30 days or so? Can you look at an archived list of someone's blogs, or only recent ones?
Andy and I started taking Ballroom Dance and Swing Dance lessons last night with two other couples from the college (I am the only non-pregnant female - thank the Lord!) We had an absolute ball! The Ballroom class was tremendously easier than the Swing though. They started with the Foxtrot, which is supposed to be easy, and it was. I was pleased. I am glad we started there, rather than starting with the swing, or else we might have gotten discouraged! But we'll get it and then have something fun to do instead of JUST GOING TO DINNER AND A MOVIE! yeah! I mean, Dothan is not exactly chock full of exciting new cultural experiences, if ya know what I mean. haha. But it was loads of fun, and I couldn't ask for a better person to try to learn something new with than Andy. It was great to watch his reaction. Being a musician, the timing thing is a BIG deal to him. I mean, I play an instrument also, but nothing like him. He found comfort, I think, in the beats and counting the steps. I think that is why we found the ballroom class so much easier. It was very specific - very precise - on where and how to step. Swing had a lot more personality and seemed looser on rules. But the nice thing is to know that we have five more weeks to "get it." And I actually think that we can do this! Yeah! (It is SO great to expand yourself and learn something new! I miss that!)
Oh, if anyone has seen X-Men: The Last Stand I would love to hear comments. I was left with a very mixed reaction and I would like to hear how other people viewed the movie.
Otherwise, all is well in the world of Rhonda. Youth camp in two weeks. Can't wait.
Because my memory is wretched, and because these moments are too precious to forget. A safe place for me to record exciting times, my personal thoughts about life and what God is teaching me!

Today is FRIDAY. THANK THE LORD! (imported from Myspace)
Okay, I haven't blogged in a long time. Not that anyone but me notices. ;)
I am kind of tired, which seems to be a constant state. I am SOOOO looking forward to the long weekend. Also, we have been getting a lot of things done at the house. Flowerbeds, projects and cleaning. Always makes me feel much better. Now if we could get the house painted (hopefully next weekend) and get the shrubs trimmed......
Getting ready for youth camp coming up. Looking forward to it a lot. Got a lot more kids going than last year. Actually double.
Really been enjoying reading my friends' blogs. One girl, I barely know, just know through an acquaintance, has the most interesting and uplifting blogs. Makes me wish I knew her.
Yes, Andy and I watched "Singin' in the Rain" for the FIRST time last night. I realized anew how much I love old, happy movies. Movies for me are STRICTLY an escape. I don't want to cry unless it is absolutely necessary. I want to laugh, be happy, be entertained...mainly, just be transported from the dul-drums (sp?) of everyday life. Singin' in the Rain was GREAT for that purpose. I really enjoyed it. Not the best musical ever made, but definitely worth watching.
Going to see X-Men 3 this weekend. Hearing mixed reviews. I am not optimistic since they say three main characters die. That is never a good sign....
