After 2 1/2 weeks of being away from home, I'm back as of last night at 8:00. Got back from Mexico on Friday the 20th and spent the day doing laundry and repacking for our family vacation which we left on Saturday for South Dakota (we tent camped). While in SD, we found out that John's Grandfather in Iowa passed away and so we drove right there ( ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have wanted to go on a mission trip for years and years and have had many opportunities to go on mission trips, but everytime those opportunities have come up there has been obstacles with me going.

In reference to my post a few times ago about hating Kansas weather....Greensburg, KS is proof of why I HATE it! There is NOTHING and I mean literally NOTHING left of this town. It is much worse than the Holly, CO tornado. At least there were houses still standing, not in Greensburg, they were blown away with the tornado. And...to make it worse ( Read more... )

First, we went to Kearney, NE last Thursday and met with the men from the newspaper in Iowa. Had a wonderful time, but this does not feel right, for many reasons.
