:: AB ::

so in honor of my super awesome friend "AB" im doing a blog update to give her insight into the awesome life of me :)...!! miracles never cease!

:: im home!! woohoo!! ::

:: not without adventures though ::

:: i forgot...no...i didnt forget...i just didnt...to take pictures ::

:: sorry ::

:: so back to the adventure... ::

:: we had 15 mins to get from our arriving plane at concourse A to our connecting flight at concourse C ::

:: we made it ::

:: then our flight couldnt land in its designated city ::

:: a plane in front of us hit turbulence and someone got injured ::

:: the airport stopped accepting flights ::

:: we had to go to another city...land...refuel...and sit ::

:: then they decided to "try" to go back to our airport...not knowing if the airport would let us land ::

:: people kept getting up to go to the bathroom even though they announced everytime someone got up for people not to get up because of the risk of injury ::

:: if was ridiculous ::

:: they wouldnt even let the flight attendents get up ::

:: we were by the bathroom and decided we were going to tackle people that tried to get up ::

:: we didnt actually tackle anybody though ::

:: we did share some disgusting looks with the other people near us that had the same feelings about the people that kept getting up ::

:: one guy fell...after the flight attendent told him to return to his seat and he said no ::

:: i laughed inside...after i knew he was ok of course ::

:: nobody on our flight was injured and we finally made it home ::

:: yup the airport let us land ::

:: TSA searched my checked luggage ::

:: i probably should not have put all the water guns in there ::

:: im surprised they were able to zip it back ::

:: well technically they didnt...there was about a 5-6 inch gap between my zippers ::

:: im glad my unmentionables didnt fall out ::

:: can you imagine how excited our babies were to see us? ::

:: they were really excited!! ::

:: can you imagine how excited they will be when you get home? ::

:: very excited! ::

:: i start school in two weeks! ::

:: crazy huh? ::

:: can you imagine ill finish a whole school year while you are gone? ::

:: crazy ::

:: i have 90% of the years units planned out ::

:: woot! ::

:: oh and im going to be more proactive...more assertive...and less stressed this year! ::

:: im going to move your closet to my house so i have a bigger wardrobe to pick from ::

:: just another excuse to see your mom :) ::

:: we went on a date last night (hubby and me not your mom and me)...mainly because we didnt want to cook ::

:: then we walked the puppies on campus ::

:: zeke almost got in the fountain ::

:: daisy limped a little...we didnt think anything of it ::

:: i checked her legs when we got home ::

:: she stepped on a nail... ::

:: a big nail ::

:: over an inch was in her paw ::

:: hubby pulled it out...quickly ::

:: it bled a lot ::

:: im thinking it bent when it hit bone ::

:: it went in near her top pad of her paw ::

:: i was sad ::

:: after an aspirin and sleeping in bed with us...daisy is ok ::

:: my mom's coming sunday ::

:: i hope to have all the doors painted by then ::

:: do you think i can get it done? ::

:: we'll have to buy more paint thinner to get my hands clean ::

:: where are you now? ::

:: lys ::

:: hubby doesn't like sprinkles...who knew? ::
:: i painted 2 half doors (you know just one side of 2 doors) ::
:: it was a royal mess ::
:: who knew "ALKYD" paint means it permanently attaches to skin ::
:: that is until hubby saves the day with paint thinner...i seriously almost cried ::
:: 14 kids at cell this week...with even more new kids...and some gone to youth camp ::
:: it was one of those amazing talks when you plan and start one discussion and end up talking about something completely different...go God! ::
:: i have decided i want to go to youth camp ::
:: you've gone and that makes me jealous ::
:: maybe i'll go to the college retreat in oct that they have now ::
:: maybe it will be like youth camp ::
:: do you think they will let me? i mean im definitely not a "youth" anymore while also not a college student anymore...wow im getting old ::
:: but you are too ::
:: i was asked to lifeguard the women's retreat like you did last year ::
:: do you think you could recert me from Bucharest? ::
:: daisy taught zeke to want to lay on top of me when he sleeps...forget cuddling just lay completely on joy...its much more comfortable apparently... ::
:: we had a fourth of july celebration at church last night ::
:: yeah... ::
:: i saw AB this week :) ::
:: she misses you ::
:: wait i miss you too ::
:: i love getting "no sleep no food incoherent while yet perfectly coherent" emails from you ::
:: they make me feel special and loved ::
:: you sure you cant dog sit next week? ::
:: we are going (flying) to pheonix ::
:: it should be fun ::
:: i cant eat jalepenos anymore ::
:: they make me sick ::
:: sad :( ::
:: im still doing the old lady Bible study ::
:: its helping develop me into a "woman of spiritual confidence" ::
:: i really like the spiritual confidence part... ::
:: i think its been missing ::
:: but is soon to be found ::
:: we went to the lake for hubby's dad's bday ::
:: i am SUPER sore and bruised ::
:: but the MASTER of the tube ::
:: i still cant ski.... ::
:: i can get up pretty well...but then i fall down ::
:: Hannah Grace was given a bad report last week....that's why she is my FB profile pic...prayers would be super appreciated ::
:: i have decided that you and JH will become the best of friends while on the race ::
:: i may be completely wrong but she looks super fun and like yall would "click" ::
:: i leave you now because i must go brush my teeth ::
