Spring begins and so do I

April 1st is always an interesting time for me. It's usually the point where I realize that the new year is no longer the new year and I take a look around at what has happened since January 1, and try to decide on the best way to move forward. Typically, that day is accompanied with a serious "Where did the first three months go?!"

There are a lot of really exciting things going on for us right now, and I'll hope to blog about them more as we move forward. One of the exciting things for me is a recent job modification at Marco. I had the extreme pleasure to work with much of the management team over the past week to define some new goals and objectives for my job and career, and I'm planning to blog about what we're doing in the next couple months. (NOTE: For those of you who don't really dig the extreme geek-stuff, I'll try to keep some things in here that are interesting to human beings, also)

I'm in the process of defining those objectives and "putting some hair around the ideas" so to speak. But I thought that I would give a brief bullet-update on the Greg and Sandra Rolling family to keep up to date:

• Greg has new job responsibilities
  
• Sandra developing a new line of clothing for children that I'm excited to see on her blog before long.
• Adrian doing exceptionally well at St Cloud Technical College, which surprises only himself
• Amber and Nick doing well in Ohio - Nick looking at schools to begin a career change
• Grace has a spring recital with the Stroia Ballet Company coming up May 21
• Jeremiah trades his violin for the piano and loving it
• Jadyn finally realizing she is a "big girl" and no longer "the baby"

I'm excited for the summer and ready for the change. There's something about the new growth of spring that always makes me feel a little introspective and hopeful. There are lots of things coming up in the near future, and I'll try to keep everyone updated here. I hope your winter ends with great blessing and the spring brings new life to you.
