Home Sweet Home (for now)

Come to find out I'm not crazy. I can travel with two kids...by myself! I drove lots of miles through two states and I lived to tell the tale. Alright. It wasn't that big a deal, but I was worried. We had lots of fun with family and friends. If you know me at all, you know that I like to take LOTS of pictures. For some reason on this trip I wasn't into taking many at all. Crazy talk, I know! I met up with a childhood friend of mine who I haven't seen in years...and I didn't take any pictures of the two of us. Crazy. The kids had a blast with their cousins, whom they haven't seen in a year...and I only took one picture of them altogether. Crazy. I think I might have taken more pictures of my dog and the pelicans I saw at the beach. Crazy. Oh well. I will post what few pictures I do have when I can get around to uploading them onto my computer, which should be soon because I'm enjoying the school-free summer!

So why the "for now" in my title? Because just as soon as I unpack and clean up from this last trip I will turn around and pack for our next one...to Peru! We leave this Friday to see some friends of ours who live in the jungle. If I don't take at least a couple hundred pictures of my time down there I really will be Crazy!

On the Road

School's out for summer! I cleaned my classroom yesterday. Everything is locked up and waiting to be organized at a later time. (Procastination at its finest.) Today we spent the day doing laundry, cleaning the house and packing. Tomorrow the kids and I head north to Grandma and Grandpa's house! Matt will be heading south to Haiti where he is leading a mission team from our church to work with orphans. He will be gone for one week, and I will be gone for two weeks. Just me and the kids. Just me. No hubby. Just me. And the kids. What the frick??? Am I crazy? Just kidding (a little bit.) After being with the in-laws for a week, we'll be heading north again to visit with some friends. Then it's all down south from there. Back to the in-laws then home to Daddy. I'll be honest. The next two weeks feels a little like two months. Don't get me wrong! I am looking forward to visiting with family and friends, but driving long distances by myself makes me a little nervous. Not to mention I can't help but worry a little when Matt goes on trips like this. So Matt and I need your prayers! (And the people we're staying with might need them too, 'cause after two weeks of "just me and the kids" it might not be pretty. I'm just sayin'.)
