I went away again

I’m back. And yes, I did go somewhere. I went to the land of the Wizard of Oz. For those of you who paid no attention to story time when you were little, that would be Kansas. It was a fun week, and I brought home lots of memories.
Last weekend was Washington’s young group invite. It all kicked off Friday morning after my last final (And I passed my math class!!!!). We had the Bible study at our house Friday night. My mom decided to be very industrious and so we not only cleaned, but did laundry, blueberries, and corn. By the time everyone left my house that night, I was certainly ready to crash, but it was not to be. After having my shower interrupted 3 times, I blew up the air mattress and prepared for the Kansas girls, two of which showed up at 1am, and two who appeared at 4am. Saturday was an interesting day as Katelyn, Jenny and I tried our hand at making mass quantities of food for the first time in our lives. Other than some incredibly charred bread, the meal turned out great, and we all hugged in victory after spending 13 ½ hours in the church kitchen cooking. Hehe...and no one knows how many cases of soda were drank that day. Jenny, the shots of Dr. Pepper will forever remain in my memory.  :)
I went back with the Kansas people on Sunday night. Oh, and just to let you all know, Maggie and I may have saved a life while driving from Cameron to Sabetha. It was just the two of us, and we were driving along Route 36 when we passed a car on the side of the road. There was a guy leaning against the side of the car, and another laying on the hood. It was really weird, so we called the police and reported it. Yes, we actually did call the police. The dispatcher told us that several other people had reported it too. I don’t know what happened though, so it does make for a real interesting story.
My rest of the week I spend at Jill and Larry’s. I cleaned, did laundry, and played with the kids. I got in on a bad Kansas storm. Jill and I and the kids had walked down to the neighbors and while we were there, it got really dark. We headed back, but before we got even halfway home, it started pouring rain and hailing. Larry came to our rescue with the van, but we were still soaked. Kyle, Trenton, and Brenna provided much entertainment, and if I started telling funny stories, I wouldn’t know where to stop.
I got back yesterday afternoon, and I was really happy cause I got us out of Morton after getting off I-55. Wendi had her violin recital so I went to that. It was fine. A violin recital is just not one of those things that you can say was really fun. Then I went to Amy’s, and I got to see Katelyn and Jenny, which was great cause I hadn’t seen them in a whole week!! I know, I’m kind of pathetic, but I really did miss them.
Anyway, that’s my week, and now I have to leave for work. *sigh*  That’s the worst part about coming home.
