Back from Vacation


I took some days off of work and went to Amarillo to visit my family. It was really nice to be away for awhile...after camp and VBS, I needed the time off!! Here are some pictures from my trip...

And here's my favorite pic from this week:

Grammy is still Aubrey's favorite person, but she actually wanted to be around me quite a bit on this trip. Aunt Nini really liked Aubrey following her around and wanting Nini to hold her or wanting to sit by Nini at lunch.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows about a half an hour ago...after reading straight for 3 hours...I'm exhausted, but it was so good! I loved it!!!

Something fun on a Monday...

If you go here, you can see what song was #1 on the Billboard charts the day you were born. "Call Me" by Blondie was number #1 when I was born. What about you?

Nothing to Laugh about today

So...Our church was broken into last night...and my laptop was stolen. (The one night I actually left it at work). I'm sitting at a secretary's desk doing my work...or trying to.

What is so upsetting is that I accidently left my Bible in my laptop case...I suppose I should think that maybe someone will read it and get saved or something...but all I can think about is that my personal Bible...the one I took notes in, recorded births (of my niece and nephews...of Miss Ivy Grace), the one I recorded my friends marriages in, the one that has a picture of me with Mrs. Roberts (who had me in the baby room) on her 100th birthday...is gone...

I just want to go somewhere and cry...

Nice idea...

A couple of Sundays ago we voted to call a new youth minister. We wait a week in between the candidate coming in view of a call and the vote, so he wasn't at the actual vote. He and his family live in the area, though, so once it was announced, the youth went over to his house and stuck cloth flowers all over their yard as a surprise.

As they were doing this, one of the youth girls (who helps me a lot in the children's area) told Meagan, "We should go toilet paper Miss Nissa's house!" When Meagan told me this later, it made me laugh out loud.

I live in an apartment...There is a shrub next to my door...that's about it!
