Discovery Museum

Today I had the opportunity to hang out with Jamey. We met up with Kristy and Abbi and spent the day at the Discovery Museum

He always has to hide when he is going to see someone

so he can jump out and SURPRISE them.

Dancing and watching there movements on the wall

Giving Kristy and I Lots of time to catch up.

Odd Jobs

So I have been asking everyone I meet if they have any odd jobs I can do to keep me busy while I am back so I don't get bored. I have had the opportunity to plant flowers, paint, and last night Teri and I went over to Granny's to clean her light fixtures.

Teri pulled them down
I swept up the cob webs and bugs
Then Granny would scrub them down before we put them back up

After the work was done we all sat down for tea and cookies and had us some girl talk:)
What a fun night.

Jaxon

I thought this shirt was funny but would never wish it upon him EVER.

maybe president of his class or a club or something... that would be okay
The Family
Nicole holding Jax and Ryan holding Wrigley

Wrigley is not to be left out. If you are there he is right beside you or on you. I was sitting back holding Jaxon on my chest with my legs pulled up thus the only place for Wrigley to sit on was my head... so he did.

Charming me with his smiles

Got the ornery look mastered already

Once again as soon as I picked up Jaxon from my lab

Wrigley was there to take his place.

Ummm... this is not my family

So I was so excited I got my computer back today. And silly me I thought when they cleaned everything off my computer they would put it back on just how it was so I would know how to use it. But they didn't. They sent 4 CD's with all my pictures/videos/music/documents and so I was trying to figure out how to get the info from the C.D. back onto the computer and as I was looking through the files I didn't recognize any of the names. I thought that was a little odd then I opened my picture folder and was so excited when I recognized one of my folders (or so I thought) it was titled Family. So I opened it up and realized these people are NOT my family. Who are they? Then I went on to read other folder names and I am pretty sure I was never an ISU cheerleader. That I was not recently in an English 101 class, and that I had not recently graduated from High School. So its back to the Geek Squad to try and find my files and return the files I have to their proper owner. That's all for now.... Hopefully I can get this all figured out tomorrow!

The Problem Continues...

So I was going to stop at Best Buy today to see if my computer was done, BUT instead they called me and informed me this "infection" has so overtaken my computer that they needed permission to do more extensive work that would take a few more days! Sheesh! I guess I should be thankful that this is all getting taken care of now instead of when I am at home and am kinda stuck then if it crashes.... Pictures and updates soon come.

We Have a Problem

So today I took my computer to the geek squad to have a check up because I have been having problems and thought it would be wise to get it looked at while I was in the States. The diagnosis was NOT good. I had some major problem and they have to clean everything off my computer to fix it and its going to be a few days before I get it back. I have lots of pictures and will have more I'm sure by the time I am able to upload them and share. At least they have found the problem and its getting fixed while I am here.

I then tried to go shopping and I don't like shopping I have never been a good shopper and am thankful that now I only have to go once every 6 months or so. It was not a productive trip. I walked around aimlessly for a few hours then left. This means I will have to attempt once more to go out and get the things on my list. Yuck Yuck Yuck!

First Day Back

I have been Blessed with the BEST group of friends, and have been BLESSED beyond belief at the relationships I have been able to make while working on the island.

So It just happened to work out that a bunch of us who were just in Kingston together could meet up for lunch yesterday so... we did. They tried to kill me choosing monicals for our meeting place but I was careful and PTL it didn't knock me out for the rest of the day.
Sarah and I trying to teach Ellie that it is okay to show affection:)
Your doing SO good Ellie! Keep working on it!

The Group.

Some were in Kingston with me last month,

Some have worked with us in past years and some just came along for the party!

I love this group and all the Joy they bring to my life!

Then

(I know where are my priorities!)

I drove over to Washington to see Ryan, Nicole, Jaxon, Kristen and Adam

Giving Jax a little Pep talk when all he wanted to do was sleep but needed to stay awake since his days and nights are mixed up.

Catching up on 3 weeks worth of kisses
