Happiest of Birthday wishes for Christine Moorman…wow that is weird now that you are married. I hope you have an awesome day!
Trip to Charleston
We’re back and it’s been a great mini-vacation. I wish we all had more time and more money to go on a longer trip. It was great though, to just get away from the stresses of work for a few days. We had a great time. We stayed at Shem Creek Inn and had a lot of time to just be lazy and truly relax. It rained most of the day on Monday but we still got out and about seeing Fort Moultrie and Patriot’s Point. We even swam in the pool for a little bit inbetween showers. We didn’t get to spend much time at the beach due to the weather but made a big effort to at least walk on it a bit. We all joked around a lot and it was just awesome. Even the trip there and back was fun. Hopefully Justin will be posting some pics soon of our trip.
Charleston Bound
This morning I am at the Bookstore (yes, on a Saturday). It is graduation day so we have to be open from 8-2pm. I’m trying to get all the last minute things done before I leave so that these guys here won’t be too confused while I’m gone. Justin, his parents, and I are heading to Charleston tomorrow morning. After I leave here today I’m packing and Justin and I will drop off Java at my parents and then head back to Polk County for the night. We will be back mostlikely on Tuesday. A short trip but still lots of fun and I definitely need a break. I’ve been feeling the hint of a cold coming on lately and I hope it will hold off til we get back.
Erin and Mike are well on their way to being parents. Erin is starting her 37th week of pregnancy. We are all hoping she won’t get any ideas this weekend while we are away. But if she does we will find our way there for sure! Please continue to keep them in your prayers for this is the scary part….the realization that it is really going to happen. I know Justin and I can’t wait to be an aunt and uncle.
See ya later!
Oh, and for now my comments are down…too much spam! Hopefully my dear husband will have it back up and running soon.
Teamkid
Hey guys, I thought I’d update you on Teamkid last night at church. Heather came to help. The kids were great. I’d only ever watched the 3,4,5s and they are crazy wild. These kids were anxious to learn and just at that stage where they can read and sit still. I had to teach them about death. That was interesting. I had the kids read Psalm 23:4 that I had typed on a piece of paper and they passed it down and read it out loud. Then we talked about family, friends, and pets that had died. Then I read to them about how a Christian will get 3 new things in heaven (new body, new home, new life). I didn’t think they were listening too well to that part but at the end Heather asked them what the three things were and they got all three. Then I read to them how Heaven will have streets of gold and will have jewels and pearls. I asked them to draw a picture of what they thought Heaven would look like. They did great! One boy drew clouds with cherries in them. Another girl drew gold streets with stop signs. They each had such great ideas. Then at the very end I had 12 balloons each with a message in side. Since there were 6 kids they each got two and had to play “keep it up”. Then as their parents came they got to pop them and read the messages about Heaven (such as In heaven…we will see Jesus). They loved it and the parents did too.
DCI
I can’t type long but wanted to let you know I’m still alive. Last night Heather, Justin, and I went to Charlotte for the DCI (Drum Corp International) competition. It was awesome! Then we met Jennifer afterwards to give her some gifts. We didn’t get home until after midnight and then had to play with Java for awhile since she had been cooped up forever. Then got in the bed around 1am. Now we are paying for it this morning. Us old folk can’t stay up that late anymore haha.
Tonight I’m teaching the k-2nd graders at church about death. Please pray for me and wish me luck.
Hopefully I’ll update more later once things calm down haha. I have to update about work, home, and Christine’s beautiful wedding.
Have a great day!
hawlin tail
I know that’s not how you spell haulin’ but I thought it looked funny so that’s what I put. As many of you know, this is extreme crazy season at the bookstore. For the past week and a half I’ve been carting boxes of books everywhere. We’ve received over 500 boxes of books already and more on the way. The pressure is on to get all the books checked in and shelved before Monday (July 25th). It’s been a difficult task with little to no help at times. We’ve managed to somewhat keep up but still manage to have boxes to check in at the end of the day. It’s very frustrating to work all day to clear the floor just so it can be filled up with boxes from the next delivery. I definitely am feeling the muscles working and hopefully I will be able to see the results too. I try to be careful because I tend to throw my back out a lot from lifting and tossing the heavy boxes. I feel sore now but so far so good (knock on wood). I saw the former textbook manager today that used to be there when I first arrived at GWU. She told me that once I started thinking about a family I needed to get out of there and find something else. She told me that she would be watching me and that I better listen to her.
Enough blabber about work, just wanted to let you know why I’ve been so distant. By the time I get home I am zonked. This weekend Justin’s cousin Jessica is getting married. I’m so excited. I am going to be helping with the serving at the reception. I just know she is going to be so beautiful.
Take care everyone!
Nightbeat!
Ok so guess what! The other day I just happened to randomly think about Nightbeat. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s Drum Corp International. A bunch of drum corps come and compete according to section and size. It’s awesome! Many of the biggest and best ones come. Well, it’s in Charlotte at the beginning of the month. I haven’t been in forever. We used to go at the end of band camp in high school to show freshmen what it is like to compete and actually be awesome! If anyone is interested in going let me know and I’ll let you know details.
Matt, Mandy, and Anna, do you remember how we used to play “find the midget”? hehe fun times! I miss them!
Buckaboo and Mandino Too!
I want to wish my best friend Mandy and her husband Buck a VERY Happy Anniversary! It feels like just last Summer. I hope you have an awesome day! Congrats! Love you!
