My husband has mentioned time and time again that I should jump on the band wagon of blogging. I figured since I have nothing else to do while he is gone, maybe I'll take it to pass the time. So much coming up though, it will probably be a good place to write down thoughts and share our stories as they unfold.
Nothing exciting at this very moment. Dave has been gone the past week, at Warren Willis Camp, for work. He did surprise me by coming home Friday night, when I thought he'd return midday Saturday. As he has posted on Facebook, I nearly did him in with tweezers. In my defense, I hear the door opening and have no idea of his return. All I am thinking is, I KNOW I locked the door, how is someone getting in, what do I have in the bedroom I can defend myself with... and I see tweezers on the bathroom counter. 2nd defense, they're BIG tweezers, 6" or so, -- I'm not even sure WHAT they're for -- but they have a pointy end, so it could work. As I'm formulating a plan of attack, Dave turns the corner. So you can imagine my relief and adrenaline rush. I happy that I amuse him though.
This week, I am once again a work widow. Dave is with middle and high schoolers at SIFAT (Serving in Faith and Technology), which is actually a pretty cool thing. Its set up in Alabama. Its a mock set up of villages, where people and learn technology that makes life more efficient - better clay bricks, better roofs, ways to boil water at a lower heat, etc. In exchange, they train missionaries about their culture and the like. They do a week long camp though, which really give a unique experience for the kids (chaperones too I'd imagine). I would highly recommend asking a student about it when they get back. I would be a neat trip to volunteer for, though I had to say saving my week off for Ireland was a great choice.
Speaking of Northern Ireland, it was AMAZING. Beautiful sights, interesting people, and a history to learn from. I loved being there and in honesty, would move in a heartbeat. Even for a few months, just to experience more, would be amazing. That and they know how to drive better!!
On driving, FINALLY finished my basic driver course online. Took FOREVER, so much long than 4 hrs I think. After watching the films though of car wrecks, I am blessed that mine was so minor. Even with the TMD, its a minor thing considering that losing my life could have been the outcome. I'm blessed that there were no serious injuries.
Well, my cat is crying for attention... he's thrilled that Moose is gone and now claims me for himself again. He's so not going to be happy when we get our puppy...
