And on the 18th day...

You know it's going to be a good day when you start it off by sleeping in!! Today was nice and relaxing... so let's begin:

In the trolley shuttle

Kodi and I decided to check out the Hidden Glen Art Festival here in Olathe. Neither of us had been before and were curious how it would compare to the art festival we went to in Haliewa Hawaii. Hmm... I want to say it was definately hotter at this one! And things were much more expensive here. We didn't stay too long, but we did get free reusable grocery bags! Yey!

Thought these were cool. Surprised?

And I had to snap a pic of Kodi buying popcorn from the Nazi Boy Scouts!! ;)

Until next time...

Day 17- You've got mail!

TGIF!

Oh my word! What a week! I'm so glad that it's friday but also that I got mail! :) I got a letter from Nina today, just because! She is so creative, not only did she paint this:

But she also created the evelope!:

Thanks Nina! :)

And because my week was pretty boring, pictorially speaking, you get a bonus picture:

And here we have what is known to some as 'white trash' in it's natural habitat: my neighborhood! ;)

I was sitting on the couch when I heard the squeal of brakes promptly followed by some 'fightin words'. I peeked out the window and saw that the lady and gentleman in the car were out in the middle of the street yelling at each other... by the time I grabbed my camera they were back in the car. It was probably the second highlight of my day (after the card of course!) Although, I did see an R.O.U.S on the side of the road, and sang 'Hark the herald angels sing' with Jen at work today... I didn't consider those...

Until next time...

Sweet 16

The sorting, cleaning, purging part of packing has begun. Piles of clothes (minus some unmentionables!)

PTL-tomorrow is the start of the weekend! For many reasons! But mostly so I can have something somewhat interesting to share! ;)

Until next time...

I saw this on my way to work:

 

Is there really that big of a geese problem that someone can make their living by keeping them out of those silly lakes you see at apartments? I love how they need dogs and a kayak for this!

At first I thought of the crazy cat guy at work and then I thought of Sarah B. :) Here's to you, friend! ;) I saw this on the way home from work:

One Four!

Nazi Boy Scout Popcorn

I won't lie. It was delicious.

Lucky #13

I saw this on my way home from work today. It is one of those 'I heart my wife' bumper stickers. What do you think? Divorced?

So... This part is not family friendly. So if you are under 17... go away. Some friends of ours asked Kodi if she could stitch up this body pillow for them since she is practically running a mending service now. This pillow grosses me out and here's why: It looks like its just covered in pubic hairs!!! Ssoooo nasty!!! I can hardly look at it and adamantly refuse to touch it! So I came home from work today and low and behold... guess what's in my bed?!?! Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Ew... the pub-illow!! It took me a while but i finally grabbed it with a blanket (Kodi's, not mine!) and threw it on a chair in the dining room. So gross... I immediately texted Kodi to tell her to watch her back and she has something special coming her way....






And since my wonderful roommate is terrified of Jack Nicholson (Thanks to this scene from 'The Shining') I knew just how to get my revenge! I printed out this lovely picture and taped it in her closet with the door open just enough for Jacky to be sticking his head out. And I waited. Bwahahaha... She got home from her meeting and assumed that I put something in her bed so was looking around her room and didn't see anything. When she went to hang some clothes up... well... she found him! ;) She will probably have nightmares tonight. And I won't be able to sleep because I'll be wondering if the pub-illow shed in my bed. Yuck!!

And Last but certainly not least is Bekah!! This is from our mentor time at Starbucks tonight. We meet nearly every Monday night at the same starbucks and have come to know our baristas pretty well over the last few months while there. So this is my typical monday night (more so than the above pictures!) :)

Until next time... REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM!!! =D

"And dance with all your might, lift up your hands and clap for joy. The time's drawing near when He will appear. And oh, we will stand by His side, a strong, pure, spotless bride"

Those were the words of one of the new songs we sang at church today. It was a really awesome service of celebration. A wedding banquet! We've been discussing communion for a few weeks now and today was our final message on it. We celebrated as the first body of believers did when
celebrating communion. Not a mournful, reflective type ceremony, but one of a joyous, celebratory nature. We are the bride and He is our bridegroom! What a beautiful picture of his love for us. And as a bride would wait for her groom to come for her after preparing a place for her, we too, await the arrival of our bridegroom as he prepares our heavenly home for us. Such a beautiful love story! So this is a picture of communion being shared at one of the tables. :)





And as a follow up to yesterday's blog, I thought it would be appropriate to tell of how I was accosted by the Nazi Boy Scouts today. I went to Hyvee this afternoon and even before I got to the door I could see the swarm of boy scouts eyeing me from just inside. I heard one boy say 'oh, here's our next one(victim!).' Upon the doors opening I found multiple bags and boxes of popcorn thrust into my face and heard a chorus of young boys' confused sales pitches. I was a little overwhelmed by all of the commotion and hastily withdrew a dollar to purchase 1 bag (yes, just one lonely bag) of popcorn and got the heck out of Dodge!! Whew. Steer clear of those boy scouts!!




Hasta la próxima vez ... :)
