i'm in! are you in?

whew, what. a. week. so i guess i'll just step through it slowly so you can all follow along.

thursday: spent most of the evening cleaning up the old apartment 1. it's a little sad. it's the end of an era. sigh.

friday: worked all day and finished cleaning out the apartment over my lunch break. and later that evening, finally time to relax.

saturday: finally went home in the afternoon to change lucy's oil. it took longer to get her up on the ramps than it took to actually change her oil. later, i went to erin hodel's with david for a pizza cookout. pause for food break, i just woke up and i'm finding it hard to remember what i did that long ago. oh yes, joe knochel was there! yay! and the ever popular, quasi-famous luke knapp as well. good times, good times.

sunday: church at gridley and i got to sit with my youngest nephew in the afternoon. if i had a picture, i'd show you how amazingly cute he is. during the first five minutes he chugged his entire sippy cup of milk, then during the first silent prayer, he faked a belch and then he really did one. it was pretty loud, but i was too proud of him to scold him. then a little later, a little girl was leaning over the bench in front of him and puckering up. korey kept leaning back as she leaned forwards. i leaned down and told him, "korey, i think she wants to give you a kiss." the next time she leaned in, he leaned back up and kissed her. ah, what a good day for korey. also had a family supper and left early to go out to leo! 4 1/2 hour car ride with three girls talking the entire way...i'm just glad i got to drive most of the time. finally got out to the truckstop and stayed with morgan, sam, and kenton.

monday: breakfast in the morning with all the girls too (bethany, natalie, natalie, charla, kaitlyn). finally got to start working on setting up for the sale. monday was full of setting up staging areas, chairs, and tables. for lunch and supper, i ate at east house with kenton and kaitlyn and house parents kurt and kristen slagell. it was great to get to spend time with the residents. after supper was bluffton night in which bluffton people come up to play games like ultimate frizbee and kickball. i played spoons intstead. afterwards the leo people and the volunteers had a Bible study. it was a great study on the difference between seeking and serving at church.

tuesday: more setting up of tables and chairs and also a swingset over by new house. unfortunately, we had the wrong parts so we couldn't complete it. i did get a nice tan though. and also some rolling up of the tent sides. lunch at east house again. supper at buffalo wild wings at sam's expense and some relaxing times with the truckstop boys. and later, we had a praise singing at gateway woods. and then we went to steak-n-shake. good times, good times.

wednesday: i woke up with allergies running rampant and an eye infection. bleh. it was awful. i was barely able to help set up quilt racks and then i laid down with ice on my eye because it was burning. lunch was at the fellowship center and then after that, bethany, natalie and i headed for home. i slept most of the way. i picked up some stuff at my parents' place and then headed for home.

thursday: moving...all day long. and then we went out to eat at cheddar's. mmhmm. good.

today: unpacking...

so that's my last week and i finally have internet again to be able to do this once more.
