Lazy day today; had the alarm set for 7am to get up and get ready for work, but about 8:30 while still laying in bed, I decided that maybe I would just work at home. So I did. I got a lot done this morning with flyers and publicity stuff, and spoke with Carlos Dimas about doing a missions project in the city. We have a lunch date at his wife's Spanish restaurant :) in the city next Tuesday to discuss it more in-depth. I didn't shower until like 1:00 and didn't get dressed until around 4:00. Never did put in my contacts, though, so I was four eyes all day long, and now the backs of my ears hurt from the glasses rubbing against the skin :(
I am getting so sick of planning everything for Youth Group: I have had three weeks and everything is planned that possibly can be, and i am running out of things to design on the computer! I can't wait for things to just get going (Sunday!!) so that I can start really getting to know the kids and helping them in their relationships with Christ. This is really the best summer job I could have ever imagined, and I just feel so...I don't even know...every time that I think about how it all came about and how I know that it was totally God's plan for me to do it. God is so awesome; I just love seeing Him working in my life. It makes me feel that I-don't-know way--loved, and special, and humbled, and excited--all at the same time. There is no peace greater than knowing that you are completely in God's will for your life, and that what you are doing is just what He wants you to do.
If only I had that peace about all aspects of my life....

| Church kids |

This blog is dedicated to those of my friends affectionately known as "The Church Kids."
Today was the Children's Day service and everyone did such an awesome job; the little kids were adorable as always (but no mic fights this year, shucks), the middle school made an awesome video about Heaven (Deb Malay is the coolest...I wish she had been my Sunday School teacher!) and the Senior High's skit was so funny that I peed my pants about six gazillion times. I think I broke Grandpa's bed wetting record ;) But seriously, I am just so proud of all of the kids, and, well, you're just the best. You're FABULOUS. And God loves you. Yes!
Then the church picnic with all of the same wonderful people who I love oh-so-very-much (and joined by my roomie who I missed LIKE whoa and cant wait to see her again tomorrow!). After that ended we still hadn't had enough of eachother, so we went to see The Stepford Wives, to Walmart, and the New China Buffet (where I saw the Pauli family, minus the Greatest Gator Goddess, boohoo). And STILL more with a Princess Bride Special Edition DVD viewing at my house, thank you Steph McCann for continuing to bring joy to my life through that joya of a movie. Best Birthday present ever (well, tied with the white sandals from Mariel; the same pair I already had but given with the intention of me throwing out the other ones because they were too dirty for her to look at, sheesh!)
So anyway, it was just a really great day and I love you all. I can't wait for this summer to really get going!!
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends :)

Is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely amazing that the U.S. government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington, and determine exactly what that cow ate. They can also track her calves right to their stalls, and tell you what kind of feed they ate. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around in their country, including people that are trying to blow up important structures in the U.S. My solution is to give every illegal alien a cow as soon as they enter the country.
Everyone should have a cow of their very own :) The world would be a better place for you and for me (hmm do I hear a song in that somewhere....?)

I have been so busy lately, and it is such a good thing. I think if I had time to sit around and do nothing, I would start thinking about Valencia. Today when all the kindergarteners were here and all the teachers and parents were bombarding me with questions about how was Spain and are you glad to be home...I got a tad Spainsick, well, Valenciasick, I guess you might say, or even homesick. But I have so many things to do here at home that I love that it isn't bothering me as much as I had feared. We'll see how things go when we get back to Naz...I think only Spanish, Eighties, and Princess parties (courtesy Faye Cobb) will save me then :)
So one of the things that has been keeping me busy is Grandpa: I like to eat lunch with him every day during the week. Since the nursing home is a two minute walk from the church, this has worked out quite nicely. Gramps has been in a much better mood this week--the nurses finally discovered the trick to heal his chest pains that he inevitably will get every night, and when he can sleep through the night, he has a happier day. He is much more optimistic about everything and trying harder to walk farther, eat more, and put on a "face" even when he is in a bad mood. He is such a cutie.
Aaaaaand cutest moment ever: sometime last week I brought Grandma in to see him. Actually, I think my Dad did. But anyway, Grandma was leaving, so Daddy pushed her to the doorway, and Grandpa wanted to give her a kiss goodbye. So I wheeled Grandpa around and tried to get him close enough so they could kiss, but seeing as I am the world's WORST wheelchair driver, I kept catching his chair on Grandma's, and it took a good three minutes to get them close enough. But it was so cute. I just love old people who are still in love. Like when Kate and I were at Wegmans at the man was running away on a shopping cart, and when Ang's crazy drunk uncle brought us to Dinosaur BBQ and those old people were making out at the bar.....never mind. I just love old people period.
Which brings me to my next news story. As of last Saturday, I am the newest member-to-be of the Red Hat Society. What is the RHS, you ask? It's a club for women over the age of 50. You get together for lunch and dinner outings, coffee dates, dessert....pretty much anything centered around food, and the only catch is that you have to wear a Red Hat and clashing purple attire. Now, I emailed the lady and asked how I could join, and she emailed me back and said I can be a Pink Hatter, which means I would wear a Pink Hat and lavender attire until my Reduation party when I turn 50 ("The Birthday"). I am almost halfway there! She said that I can either start my own Pink Hatter chapter (with Steph McCann of course, my partner in a pink hat) or join their RH chapter. She said she would encourage us to join hers, but thats only so we can push her wheelchair when she cant walk anymore.
I emailed her back and let her know that maybe she should reconsider, after I spent a good ten minutes trying to get Grandma out of the xray room at the doctor's while the whole waiting room laughed. I kept running her foot and her wheelchair into the door frame. Grandma fired me after that.
I love old people :)
