I'm Out Of Names For Catch-up Posts

So stop having to catch up right??

Friday was a break in the monotony of work. One person from our team of four contributed to a much larger project, giving all of us slackers the right to a free swanky breakfast, free stuff and the winning of a raffle. It's alot easier to win when half the people don't show up to the celebration.



Congratulations to me for doing nothing and receiving this.





After work was a ride with the mail man. Rod the mail man needed help picking up and learning how to use a device which would be part of a Bible lesson to the children of Peoria's Children's Home. The activity was canceled eventually, but we will have the opportunity to use the lesson at church later this year.

This is one of those months where we forced people (pockets exempt as usual) to interact with others at Friday Night Impact. We enjoyed worship together with our head Pastor, Ritch Boerckel spending time in Psalm 1.

FNI was also a pizza party where roomie Josh pulled together the plans and ingredients for about 20+ people to build and cook their own pizzas. It was excellent! I think Josh and I took the leftovers and ingredients home with the intention of feeding it to people on moving day the very next morning. But I'll tell ya what, I know what I'm having for lunch today.


Josh still had alot of packing to do in order to be ready early the next morning. Misery loves company, so I went over to pretend to help out.







Neither of us was excited about having unhealthy food around, so alot of really good stuff was tossed during kitchen inventory. :-(






I had NO idea how much newspaper you can go through while packing dishes. Got caught up on alot of local events.







Saturday
No sleepy! Started moving Chris out at 8am. I say started, but he was half out already. There was alot of stuff though, and it actually took longer to get him out and moved in to the new place, than it did for Josh's round trip.

I FINALLY got to take some decent pictures of their place. And then of course wasted the opportunity on dog joke pictures and wall paper. :-)


I can already picture a huge German Shepard racing all over this beautiful yard. Not a yippie dog! You'll have to put some more appropriate dog treats in the dog treat jar though. Honestly, you don't want the puppy to choke on a jelly belly.




Managed to salvage proof of Pooh Bear in Chris' future office, before Jerelyn brutally tore it to pieces. Chris and I will get over it eventually.








And I will always say a little "CHOO CHOO" as I walk by Thomas the Train's old room.







We got to Josh's a little after 11 and filled the vehicles quickly.



I think Josh should have been an engineer.


Thanks for all the help Kari, Dave, Jeffrey and Huse x 3!! And to the future Gebharts and Josh for all the food.

Spotlight on the new roomie???? Sadly, not yet. Don't have all the pictures I need.

Dinner! Paul and Cheryl have become good friends from church this year for no particular reason other than they are friendly. For me, it started when Cheryl OBSESSED about the Thailand team the entire week we were there. :-)

Paul is a doctor and Cheryl is a PT nurse. They will both be heading out on a medical mission trip to Ecuador this Saturday with a small team from church, leaving me with the opportunity to watch the place and harass their son. In the midst of our extensive chatting about everything from evolution to Men's ministry and Kevin's spontaneous breakout into song with "Nobody Knows" (I got the monkey blanket for that one) and eating Cheryl's AMAZING food (from Papa John's : - ) I failed to take any good pictures of the place or people. But here's what my room will look like. It's so pretty.


Just kidding.

On the way back, I had a BLAST changing my flat tire in the rain. Looked forward to the excuse to pay a visit to the new and improved "conservative" Vanna, or so I thought!

More on the weekend when I return.
