As with most things, there are features I like and don’t. I could live without the ads and the silly games. The event options could be more open to ministry use. I use the wall, email, the mini-news feed, twitter and the photo application. We have also setup a group for the College and Career.

Thanks to Patrick and Stephanie who pulled me over the edge of doubt. Thanks to Dee for teaching me the ropes – especially the privacy settings.  You can find me using my church email address.

1) I still messed up another update of this site even after reading my own blog about backing up files.  There is a style file somewhere that I have to backup before upgrading.  Or I could copy the text out of the sidebar file before upgrading.  Either one would save me some time.

I upgraded to WordPress 2.5.RC1 release and like what I see so far.

2) This year’s ReFRESH conference was awesome.

3) My Princess turned 7 and the Strongman turned 4. Both kids had parties here at the house.  Dee did a great job planning and prepping for both parties.

4) The Fireproof website has officially launched. Check out the His & Hers video section.

5) Struggling to find great music this year. I am open to suggestions.

6) Getting ready for another trip to Passion.

7) I enjoyed our Easter holiday today.

Focusing on seven items seems intimidating at the moment. Maybe this list will help me decide when to say “no” to instead of striving for another “yes.”

Our bad news is your good news: we did not get a call-back. The movie will be much better without us in the lead roles. We are secretly hoping for minor roles but have heard nothing.

The audition was a strange experience. I was not bothered by the camera or the four people who were deciding our fate. It was much more emotional that I thought it would be; I was keyed up for most of the evening. I got to read with someone else who may still being considered for a major role. She and I were asked to read and act through the major fight scene which has yelling and lots of tension. I was surprise how drained I was after yelling and fighting with someone I barely know, fighting about something that isn’t even real.

I wanted the part more after the audition than I did when I went in.

We enjoy laughing with those who tried out with us.

Looking back, we should have gotten a script sooner, learned the lines, and figured out quicker what the casting people and writers were looking for. I think we played ourselves with different lines instead of acting out the parts.

It was cool night.
