FAZOLI'S

After church today, we went to Fazoli's with Rachel and Anne. Such a great place. They bring you hot breadsticks to your table every five minutes!! It's my new favorite place in the world. Tonight will be Micah and I's first night apart. :(

KBC!!

Well, we found out last night that Micah and I are actually working at camp this week apart from each other, not together. That's a first for us, we'll see how it goes. We stayed at the Schmidt's last night, and Saturday morning we hung out with them and chatted. Such nice people they are. They're the reason we have a guest book at our house! After that we went to Camp for the reunion...we got to see JOY! Then there was a staff meeting that night.

Camp, here we come!

We leave for KBC today. Our plan is to leave as soon as Micah gets done with school, stop by Topeka to run a few errands, then off to Hutch for Dinner and hang out time with Eric and Becky. Fun stuff!

Just work again today...7am to 4:45pm. Who on earth likes getting up that early?!

PS: Joy, I hope you're liking this update...kind of a reward for checking my blog every day "just in case"!

New Arrivals and Goodbyes

The Schumm's got 4 new kids today. That's exciting.

Also, I was supposed to work today, but someone wanted my hours, more power to them.

Micah and I went to dinner and coldstone with Matt, Shelsey, Grace, John, Anna, and Jono as kind of a goodbye. That was enjoyble.

Worked today from 11:45-17:30. Again, don't have any super-woman points, but rest assured, I was probably working. :)

I went to Women's Bible Study tonight at 6pm at World Cup. I think I haven't been to one since (as of 9/22/06. ) Maybe I should try to do that again soon.

Kinda sad day...

We hung out with the Schumm's today. Which, was fun, but sad too because the boys went back to their not-so-capable parents, and they were sad and needed encouragement.

Well, it looks like today I worked from 7am-3pm. I don't have any super-woman check marks, but that doesn't mean I didn't do anything at work, that just means I was lazy and didn't keep track.

Lots of Fun Stuff

Today I scrapped again with Ruth. Then, I was having so much fun, I couldn't stop. So, I decided to steal a page from Joy...hope you don't mind! :)

First Scrap Day with Ruth!

I got five pages done on Ruth and I's first Scrapping Party! I felt so productive! (Pictures removed on 8/28/06)

A new goal...

Well, today I combined all of my to-do lists that had been haunting me. Now I've got due dates for them all. It's kinda nice.

Things I did today:
the list
cleaned
1.5 hours of devotions
lots of errands (goodwill, office depot, hobby lobby, walgreens, Micah's office, walmart, blockbuster, mail drop, and target)
I also wrote 8 letters today.

I still need to do some more stuff...so I should go! Good day!
