Church today. It was the final closing to VBS week. Everyone was so drained, but it was fun. So many good things came out of the week. I was simply amazed by how hard everyone worked, and how excited the kids really were to come to something like that. After church there was a church picnic and worship service.

Well, it is official, I am headed to Atlanta! Yes that is right, Mission Year finally got back to me and told me that that is my city! Woo hoo...look out south here I come! How ironic is it that that was where Kat was going to be originally and now I am ending up there??? Wierd. The more time that passes the more nervous I get though. Part of ( Read more... )

Well, I am back in PA. I decided that it would be best if I came back during the month of July. So far, so good. I am going to be babysitting and living with Monica and her kids for the month. It is nice to have a change in scenery again ( Read more... )

Well, after an nights trek up to Buffalo and back, with a screaming baby in the back seat of my car...followed by sleeping on the floor which maintains the temperature of either a sauna or a igloo, but no where inbetween...I had a day full of other long and exhausting events ( Read more... )
