Brain Dump

It is Tuesday and already it has been a relaxing, productive, exciting week.

  • Yesterday we volunteered at our church to kick off the beginning of our vacation - talked to our kids on the way about being a blessing since God had blessed us with the opportunity to go on vacation. We got about 20 minutes worth of good work out of them. Then they found Reagan's toys. Oh well, I guess it was the principle and 20 minutes for kids is like a thousand hours for adults right?
  • Had a meeting with both *"big men" in the *"big" office. It was very exciting and well since they didn't let us get to the second item on our list and we only get 1 meeting every 4 or 5 years, I guess we will be staying at the Rock at least that long! :)
  • Woke up at 3:00a.m. this morning WIDE awake. Tried to figure out why, tried to go back to sleep, then I just started being productive. I did however have some new insight on what we talked to the "big men" about yesterday and then I got really excited.
  • Went to the beach at 8:30 this morning - enjoyed a few hours with the family.
  • Stopped by the not so friendly Northeast extension of the New Hanover County Public Library - checked out books for all the kids - something to keep them busy on the road.
  • Looking forward to vacation - it would be too cool to get to meet the president. (Never hurts to dream big!)
  • Looking forward to Sunday - church was so exciting on this past Sunday. The past two weeks seem to have just had an air of excitement about them that I don't remember except when a guest speaker was coming. I think our church rocks.
  • Trying to figure out if I will have enough nerve to encourage my middle child to ride the roller coasters - we are both a little chicken when it comes to heights.
  • Excited about our late night drive - kids sleeping, me talking and asking a million times "What are you thinking?" Only this time he can't fuss at me because he'll need me to keep him awake.

Haha - I'm so glad that you and Johnny aren't afraid to go into the "lead dogs" office - I have no idea what you talked with them about, but I'm so glad that you guys are excited and on board with us. You have no idea how much that means to my family.

Sunday WAS amazing and I can't wait to see all that happens over the next few years - it's going to ROCK!
