I arrived about 15 minutes before the polls opened at 11AM, at the CPCC North Campus in Huntersville.  My source for these things said it was one of the least busy locations in Charlotte.  Initially, I could not find a place to park so I asked a policewoman if there were any other parking spaces [...]

Is it possible to eat out and feed a family of 6 for under $10?  It’s pretty rough keeping it under $20 most times and that is not including the tip. However, if you are willing to lay down your “healthy food” guidelines and throw caution to the wind on occasion, have I got a [...]

This October has been amazing for our family.  The people of Kinetic have showered us with love and gifts all because Dave is a pastor and this is Pastor Appreciation Month.  These perks sure make me glad I’m sleeping with the minister!
First we were “forked” by some crazy group at church.  In case you did [...]

Taste buds were tingling Sunday afternoon for Kinetic church members.  We had our annual Chili Cook Off at the Harrisburg Park and were treated to 11 different types of chili.  The Hawaiian chili was one of my favorites, as well as chili #2.  It was just good, old fashioned chili, nothing strange, just delicious.  I [...]

In my last post I was complaining about all the plates I have to keep spinning.  Often times I do it by myself because Dave is busy doing a church planting thing that has to be done and I am holding down the fort at home.
I was reminded in my bible study tonight that it [...]

Sometimes I get frustrated with the plates I am thrown during the day and expected to keep spinning.  Not only am I trying to get three kids ready for school while keeping the baby from climbing up on the table, but now all of a sudden my day is rearranged because my ever busy church [...]

Our small group meets on the first and third Mondays of each month.  On months that have a 5th Monday, we do a group outing and bring our kids.  It is a great way for our families to get together and hang out and get to know one another.
The last Monday in September was a [...]
