Jellyland Update

Hey.  Man it's been forever since I have written anything longer than a status update!  I've had a few things that I wanted to write about but nothing came out.


Here's whats been happening with the Jellison's of the South East:


10.  About two months ago I got an iPhone and I LOVE it.  It is crazy the ease and amount of info I can get out and things I can get done with it as opposed to my old phone.  There really is an app for everything.  Staying in touch has never been easier.


9.  Living in North Carolina through a winter was mild to say the least.  It is hilarious to hear people from around here say how cold it is outside with it being like 40-50 degrees!  I've been wearing flip flops regularly for about a few months now.  We went to the beach in February for cryin' out loud! I missed some of the snow though.

8.  Things with the youth group are going great.  It has been a learning experience going through the rhythms of the students here.  They are all involved with so much and their families are traveling and doing multiple things at the same time.  We've hung steadily through it though.  We went through a purity series in March and that was a crazy time.  I can't wait for the ECHO Got Talent show this Sunday night!  It should be great!  We are also doing a Gurly/Burly weekend this Friday and Saturday.  The girls are going to the beach and doing Gurly stuff.  The guys are competing for the Burly Cup!  It should be great with competitions in putt putt, COD Modern Warfare 2, Nerf Wars and other events!  Can't wait!

7.  I go Friday to take my written driver's test.  Not real excited about it and haven't studied for it yet.  I've been procrastinating about procrastinating about doing this!  Its time.

6.  Now that the Lakers have been knocked out of the playoffs I can go back to getting more sleep!  Sad that they lost but glad that I won't be having too many 1am nights over the next few weeks.

5.  Sarah is closing in on the end of the school year. She is looking forward to being done.  Also, she is looking for another job.  The salary just wasn't enough and so she is looking at getting back into nursing.  Please pray that God would open another door for her and our family.

4.  Kate is growing so fast.  I looked at her Monday afternoon and just couldn't believe how big she had gotten.  She is talking more and more and doing crazy things every day.  I am thankful to be her daddy.

3.  We are looking forward to our time off in the next few months.  We are going to West Virginia and meeting our Indiana/Ohio family for a few days near the end of this month.  Then in June we are going down to Myrtle Beach for a week or so.  I SO need a break.  Can't wait to see the family and spend time with them. I have been missing them something fierce lately.

2.  Kate is on a ton of meds because they have diagnosed her with Asthma.  They are not sure why she has such inflammation so they have put her on Steroids and antibiotics for a few weeks then we go back for another lung test.  She is doing better each day.  Thanks for all the prayers and concern.  It's been a stressful time for us.

1.  I am thankful that God is faithful to us through our own faithlessness.  I'll write more about that another day.

May you come to know that God loves you and hears your prayers.  He is faithful.
