back home again...

...in indiana! that song was sung by 3 of us last night at about 7:30 as we crossed the border. princess was too busy whining about something, we stopped caring at that point. our version sounded about as good as i'm sure we were about returning! we had a great trip out west. i would move in a heart beat - even though i was sure i wouldn't like it out there!

i look forward to giving you all the recap over the next few days. there are many things to share and lots of pictures. hubby is planning to set up a blog for just the pictures so i'll give you all the link when that is done.

we drove over 4000 miles and survived. we visited 7 states, lots of parks, saw fireworks with 30.000 people at mt. rushmore, saw so many animals like bear, deer, antelope, buffalo, jack rabbits, only 1 snake, elk, a bald eagle in the wild, lots of reptiles and sadly only 1 moose. i'll save that story for later! we hiked some, found every starbucks between here and there, convinced mapboy to eat something other than chicken strips - last night at our last stop.

and now we are back...and i sit in a huge pile of laundry and need to grocery shop!! and i find indiana to be well...flat!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
