North Dakota Wudarczyk's

Winter oh winter where did you go winter? LOL 

We truly did NOT have a winter this year. My home state of Colorado saw a much larger amount of snow than we did here in North Dakota. 
Over all we have had a wonderful last few months. Although, a couple sad things happened to us in December. One of my bestest aunts in the world paced away suddenly and it happened so fast it was shocking. This came right after I had heard my best friend in Florida Linda, her mom passed the day after Thanksgiving....Then on our way to Colorado another great friend in Florida, Sarah, passed away as well. It was a very hard few weeks! We traveled to Colorado for my Aunt Carol's funeral and then back home. (Ya no snow until we reach Colorado during the whole trip....kinda crazy)

So the rest of the time since my last post has been pretty darn good. Dan is still working on finding a suitable home based business so we do not have to be apart for 5 days a week. It is a daunting task but I try to help him as much as possible. He is doing okay, the job is getting intense because they put a few people in charge that NOBODY likes and they are not equipped mentally to know what they are doing. And there are always a lot of safety issues driving the truck Dan drives. I think he said it was a 90' tank....crazy. 


Leann is still working at the day care that our church New Song of Bismarck, provides working parents of the community. She truly enjoys those little kids sooo much. She will be starting GED classes in July and will be taking her test in November. She is also starting a little side business painting things and selling them. She is saving all of her art money for mission trips. She has a head and heart full of dreams of sharing Jesus with kids in Guatemala, then onto Mercy Ships  . She is gearing up for that and is so very excited about it! This little girl of mine has grown up into a blessing for so many people, including myself. She keeps my mind going in the right direction daily! :) Love her sooo much! 


Tristen is doing so very good in church as well. He is a greeter at the early services and he loves the job. He also volunteers for the radio station that our church has called Club Radio.....If you ever want to hear some pretty good Christian music online you can at Club Radio Live   If you listen in on Tues and Thurs from 4:30 to 6:30 pm CST Leann and two of our good friends do The Awesome Afternoon Show

Samantha has just started taking piano lessons and she is catching on so quickly she is flying through the books she is assigned which is awesome! She also had to get glasses this year. She is almost done with the school year and we are all looking forward to an amazing summer! 


Speaking of which we are taking a trip to Colorado as a WHOLE family! Dan is coming along! We are looking forward to a couple of family reunions to see EVERYONE that can make it! So excited about it! We are also spending a week with just the 5 of us in a condo and looking forward to that together time. Seeing how Leann is turning 18 this year, kinda hard not to take an AMAZING vacation before she spreads her wings......

As for me, well, I QUIT smoking Feb 2! Whaooo! (Dan is still working on it) The youth pastor, Aaron, at our church asked if I would like to take a volunteer position as head of our Access center. We have never had this position so it is ALL brand new stuff for everyone! Which is cool but also kinda freaky.....It is up to me to decide how to run it. But I have a few amazing helpers! Josh is our tech communications guy who helps me a bunch, then there is our church secretary who, well the church would NOT run without Patty, she has become a rock for me to lean on. Over all we are doing really well. I have many a wonderful volunteers as well! (thanks to them who serve the Lord with Joyful hearts)


Over all we keep pretty busy and look forward to slowing down a little this summer, but this could be wishful thinking! :) Which as long as we are spreading the seed of Jesus, we don't mind being busy! :)


Almost forgot we also joined up with the program Kids Bowl Free for the summer and it started May 1st and goes through Aug. So this is going to be keeping us busy as well. You should see if it is near YOU it is a program all over the US! 


Have a wonderful next few months! (since I seem to only write here that often LOL)
