HA HA HA HA HA….I want to cry. October 30, 2007

“A person who is allergic to consuming shellfish is also likely to have an allergy to eating cockroaches. [6
My response to this is “Why the heck are you eating cockroaches in the first place? Okay, enough about roaches. We don’t have them, thank God and hopefully, despite my innate messyness, we won’t ever have them again. Or at least not as badly as we did in Kansas City. I shudder at the memory.” — my blog from a year ago

It just makes you want to cry doesn’t it? “We don’t have them, thank God and hopefully, despite my innate messyness, we won’t ever have them again.” Surprise! Cockroaches that have nothing to do with your cleanliness. HA HA HA…help me.

Actually we haven’t had any for a couple of months but I was reviewing old blogs and this was just too funny.

Up, up and away! October 30, 2007

So I had this great blog written about Jael’s cool costume but Yahoo got retarded and so this is what you get.

She’s adorable.
She wore it to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the library’s new playground.
I made it out of boxes, duct tape, and spray paint.
She loves it.
There are more photos at Snapfish…click here to view them.

There is no She-Ra costume. With Israel gone there is nowhere to wear it and a complicated reason involving a wedding dress pattern I should never have gotten rid of.

Love to all.

Our trip to Kansas City…take one October 26, 2007

Our Trip To Kansas City…take one

We went to Kansas City for a number of reasons. We desperately wanted to get away from the Gulf Coast for a while. We needed to repent to and reconcile with old friends there. We wanted to hang out with some friends we’d not seen in quite some time. We love Kansas City.

So we drove up and up and up. Thirteen to fourteen hours worth of driving and two or three hours of breaks, eating, fueling up, and dipping our feet in Mammoth Spring in northern Arkansas.

The picture above is us and our wonderful good friend Dianna. Friend doesn’t quite describe our relationship with Dianna. She’s much more than just a friend to us all. She’s an aunt to Jael and a sister to Israel and I. We are committed to remaining in each others lives. No matter how much we hurt each other, we’ve committed to working it out. So even though we’ve been apostate these last two years and pretty much broken her heart for those two years, she still loves us and opened her home to us.

We got to KC around 4:30 pm on Monday, washed the car while we waited for Dianna to get off of work (we were a day early so we surprised her. he he he). The Tribal Gathering (the place we were going to do the repenting and reconciling) didn’t start until Wednesday so we spent Tuesday with Dianna and the others in her house. She rents a room from a couple, neither of whom grew up in the US. They are incredibly interesting. Another girl lives there and Jael took to her amazingly. It was nice to have someone else giving her attention. A girl who had lived there stopped over because Dianna thought that her and Israel would really enjoy talking to each other. They did. She was really neat as well.

Basically, it was refreshing and uplifting and loads of fun. We laughed and laughed and laughed. So that was the first part of our trip to KC. Now I am bored with writing. Talk to you all later.
