Life has definately calmed back down since I got back from Sierra Leone. Not really that much has happened. The tornados came through, but nothing really happened out here. We lost power for about 8 hours and ended up sleeping at a downstairs apartment with another family. Norm and I kept eachother entertained though, even without power- (see pics)
Parkston got to stay at our apartment the day after the storm (see pics) because Renno and Jenny lost power. We had lots of fun until the power at their house came back on and Parkston's parents made him go home- what a bummer.
Since then, I've gone home to go shopping for a bridesmaid's dress for my friend Katie's wedding. I'll be wearing a fuscia & black dress. I'm not really a big fan of pink, but at least the dress itself is cute, if not the color. The next weekend, Norm and I took Jenny to Milan for the first time. We made her try Chow Wagon and then we saw "Bucket List." That's my whole past since I posted last. It's been a LONG time.
I'm not really sure what I used to do all the time before, unless I really did spend several hours every day on grad school stuff. Who knows, but it never seemed like that long! Oh well, I'm getting to read more and my room is cleaner than it used to be- a great triumph in my world. I've been trying to be more in shape, plus exercising gives me something to do. I'm starting to walk with some people at work and I've been running some. I also tried yoga this weekend. I liked it more than I thought I would. (I used your DVD Norm, I hope you don't mind.) It was actually kind of hard.
I babysat a lot this weekend. That's what happens when Candice leaves town. I watched kids Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. All 3 nights were really good. Two of the nights I never even saw the kids awake, all I had to do was sleep on someone else's couch for most of the night.
I really am going to try to be better about blogging, so keep me accountable and harass me if I go too long without posting again.
