Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Don't come back another day.

I really really do NOT like rain.

Especially with thunderstorms. And lightening. And tornadoes.

Hurricane Dolly...hurry up & leave, please.

Vacation & such...

My Vacation was nice. It involved a lot of traveling (see previous post), which was rather annoying, but it was fun. I got to see the Wojtek's again! I didn't realize how much I missed them until I heard Jacoby's voice over the phone the night before I got there...I mean, I knew that I missed them, but it was practically painful hearing his voice & not being able to scoop him up & give him big hugs. (But, i got to give big hugs to all 3 boys the next day). We all just relaxed & hung out while I was in Ark. Went shopping one day & to story time @ the library the next. Kasey & I got to talk a lot during naps & after the boys went to bed. Zach & Kasey & I all stayed up till like midnight, i think, the first night I was there. I really love them all, they're so great.

Then I went to my cousin Missy's house & met her ADORABLE baby boy, Lleyton. He's so cute. Her older son, Landen, was a ham, as usual. When he found out Juillet & I were both staying the night, he was like "This is the best night of my life!" lol. Then Juillet, Landen & I were all sitting on the couch with our feet propped up on the coffee table, watching Shrek 3 & eating popcorn. I put my arm around him, and he said, "Aahhh. Now I feel like I'm on vacation." He cracks me up!!!

We went to Schlitterbahn the next day. I was too impatient with the lines & we ended up leaving at like 530. (We got there about 1130, so that was 6 hours...)

We hung out in San Antonio Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night. We went to Grace Point church & heard an awesome message from Mike Sharrow. You can hear it here. (It's the one called Ready to Learn). I also got to walk through their children's area. It was pretty much the same as it was last year when I went there for Leadership Summit, but they're making lots of fun, exciting changes starting in August.

I've spent this week getting back into the swing of things. I'm pretty tired, so I shall bid you all adieu.

Kids Camp, Daisy, & Arkansas

Kids camp came and went in with a whirlwind of events. All in one weekend, I had Oso Fun (practices and the actual event), my cousin got her baby, Carter, back, i had to pack for camp, clean the house (because mom & bill were coming back from Alaska), and make sure everything was in line for Camp. whew.

In the midst of all that, my cat, Daisy, who I've had since I was four disappeared. I'm kinda still in denial that he's gone. I think. Maybe it's because I haven't seen his body that I don't really believe that he's gone. I still kinda have hope, I guess.

Well, tomorrow I'm leaving for Arkansas. I am SO SO SO excited! I miss my boys so much!

Juillet's coming with me as far as Dallas (well, technically Duncanville).
Depending what time we get to Duncanville will decide what time I'm leaving there on Monday. If I can get there & get to sleep quick, I'll leave around 630am (before all the dallas going to work traffic), which will put me in Russellville between 1230 and 1 (hopefully). If not, I'll probably leave around 9 or 930, putting me in Russellville between 3 and 4.
Then, I'll get to hang out with the Wojteks the rest of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Then, I'll leave early Thursday morning (no later than 8...or 830...) and go back to Duncanville to pick up Juillet. I'll probably have her drive to Cedar Park (since I'll have driven for 6 hours already), where we will stay with Missy, Bryan, Landen, and Lleyton.
Friday we will head to SCHLITTERBAHN! and stay the whole day.
Friday night, my parents will hopefully meet us in San Antonio & we will hang with them Saturday and come back either Saturday or Sunday.

I am WAY WAY WAY excited...

and now i must go pack!
