Family Reunion

I had a busy weekend. First my parents came and stayed with us Thursday night. We took them to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was good.

Friday I made a pasta salad and made meatballs for the Asmus reunion on Saturday. Andrew and I watched "Night at the Museum". It was funny and entertaining.

Saturday up at 8:00 to cook the meatballs and got ready to leave. Got to Cedar Falls about 11:30. Jeff and Tina were there with Cody and Lilli. They are soooo cute!!! Alot of family there. Had fun. Came home and did nothing!!!

Sunday I went to church. Then we had lunch at Andrew's parents house. Andrew's step-grandma was there. We stayed til about 2:30 and went home. I took a nap, then headed over to Monterrey's for supper with Book Club. We had a farewell dinner for Monica since she is leaving for Tuscon for her doctorine in sociology. Then off to work for 4 hours.

Welcome Grace!! This is Grace Lahey, one of my best friend's new baby. She was born on July 10 in the afternoon. She looks just like her daddy! Congratulations Dan & Sara.

Clarinet

I decided to get my clarient out and play in a group for Iowa Health Systems. I feel very - lost. I haven't played in probably 7-8 years and am a little rusty. I can't remember all the fingerings for it so I have quit practicing for a little while anyway. And most of the songs have 3-4 sharps, which is kind of difficult, but I'll get through it, just need to buy some things to make it easier.

Camp

I got back from camp and I am glad to be home. It was alot of fun. I gave out plenty of bandaids. (I think we need to invest in the company that makes them!) No major injuries, even though they played in the mud pit for about an hour. I did have one girl run a fever, but got it down. I was just thankful that I didn't have a diabetic. I met some really good kids that were my assistants when I needed them.
It was so great to see so many children reaching out to God and to see what he has planned for their lives. It is hard sometimes to let yourself go and seek Jesus, knowing that all of your friends are watching you, but so many went beyond that and truly reached out to God. It was so awesome and amazing.
I am glad to be home and to be sleeping in my own bed, not that I was as uncomfortable as the campers. I had a nice cabin with a double bed, but nothing is the same as the bed at home. Now I just have to get ready for the next week!

Camp

Just want everyone to know that I am going to be gone for the next week to be a camp nurse for our church. I'll check back in when I get home on Friday!

July 4th

Andrew and I had a pretty low key holiday. We slept in, which felt great. I had worked everyday and was tired. Then I ended up taking a 45 minute nap, which would have been longer had my brother not called.
We got together with Joel and went to see "Transformers". At first I thought I was going to hate it, but I loved it! It was funny and suspensful. Kind of had the same theme as Independence Day. I reccommend it.
After the movie we ordered pizza and watched some TV, mainly some poker.
Then as I was getting ready to get ready for bed, worked called and needed me to come in. I was on call and luckily I took that nap.
So here I am at work, with not a day off all week!
