Freedom

Teacher inservice days were this past week - which means vacation days for me!! Much needed, if I do say so myself. So anyway, this is what I did!

Day #1 Thursday

6:00am - Get up (well I tried to)

7:30am - Chapel with James @ seminary

8:30am - Chose not to drink coffee

9:15am - Watched James take hebrew test

9:45am - Took honda in for inspection

9:47am - Got compliment on my new hair cut (props to you Shannon)

9:58am - Listened to old men talk about Hiliary Clinton

10:17am - Honda passed car inspection

11:00am - Picked up James and went to my doctor's appointment. New doctor, he was kinda weird, but the good news is I DO NOT HAVE COLON CANCER!

12:30pm - Vaccumed and washed car

1:18pm - Ate Turkey Artichoke sandwich at Panera. It was amazing!

2:20pm - Took a nap

5:30pm - Went to see Austin go horseback riding (ya, it was kind of a long nap)

8:30pm - Paid a suprise visit to the Logsdon's to sing Happy Birthday to TJ

10:30pm - Went to bed in flannel pj's

Day #2 Friday

6:30am - couldn't sleep so I did some Christmas shopping for James

9:00am - Ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast

9:30am - Put Roasted Herbed Chicken dinner in crock pot

10:00am - Packed a picnic lunch

11:30am - Went to Virginia Aquarium



11:54am - Watched sharks from inside a submarine

12:30pm - Talked with an elderly man about his first few years of marriage. Turns out he and his wife lived out by our current place. He told us about their favoirte cheap date - sharing popcorn and a soda for 47 cents while people watching at an amusement park. The park is gone now, I think a grocery store sits there. But what's not gone is the love those two have, he had a sparkle in his eyes when he said "my sister said we'd never make it - we sure proved her wrong."

12:45pm - Spread out a blanket and enjoyed lunch in the sun

1:30pm - Watched 3D movie on sharks

2:37pm - Went on a mini nature hike, well I guess it was more of a walk

3:00pm - James attempted to escape the bite of a python, failed, but it was fun to watch

4:45pm - Washed dishes

5:45pm - Still washing dishes

6:30pm - Ate dinner it was awesome!

8:55pm - "Men's Accountability" for James. Shannon and I went to see "One Night with the King." It's the story of Esther and it was pretty good.

12:34pm - fell asleep on the way home

Aaahhhhh....

Gees, you did a lot of stuff! Glad you guys had so much fun at the aquarium. And great picks by the way, I'm not sure if the one of you hanging out of the shark's mouth is my fav. or if it is the one of james flip flop hanging out of the mouth!

Congrats on the blog by the way. glad you joined the blogosphere and can officially leave your name:)
