Deep Thoughts....

(ok, maybe just random thoughts)

It is still weird for me to see Schutz as my last name...even more weird for me to say it. I guess 28 years and 2 months of a name kind of gets you in a habit.

Even as I write this the 2 feet of snow we had just one week ago is being reduced to puddles and melty, mere inches of snow. The beauty of March storms. The current temp (at 5pm) is 46 degrees. Nick and I went for a walk earlier. He never thought 45 degrees was going for a walk weather until he lived in MN for 2 years. We passed 3 guys playing ping pong in the parkinglot. (yeah, I dont know...) They were wearing t-shirts, one was wearing shorts. Nick was a little confused. I guess when you grow up in Florida and live all your life in the south, this can be a little strange.

I found out today that my very good friends Mary and Nate are expecting baby #4. How exciting. All of their kids (unless there are more down the road) will be in elementary school before we even start thinking about kids.

We have a meeting tomorrow for the church plant. Woodbury Lutheran has voted to pass the church plant issue. This fall (Sept?) Pastor Ben, Guitar Brian and a group of people from WLC will be starting a church in Cottage Grove. Nick and I will be among this group. This church will be a ministry focused church. I'm excited about the change and the challenge ahead.

After a very discouraging visit to my periodontist on Monday, I called and talked to the dentist that is doing all the restoration to my actual teeth. Can I just say I love his office. They totally go the extra mile to make me feel like a valuable part of their practice. I can only hope people feel the same way about my vet clinic. If any of you reading this need a recommendation for a cosmetic/restoration dentist...or even for general dentistry, I will be happy to pass them along.

I think thats all for now.
