I'm back...sort of...

Hey I'm back from Mexico -- I was glad I said there would be no further posts until AFTER April 16. I'm wishing I'd set the date back a little further, but technically, ANY date AFTER April 16 would qualify.

Mexico was awesome and deserving of several posts. However, I am presently wading through thousands of pictures to create a 5 - 10 minute slide show for this coming Sunday. I brought my laptop with me and tried to make it easy for folks to load their memory sticks onto my hard drive so I'd have lots of good photos and a good representation to work with. The picture to the left is one Sherry Reed took and I really liked it--it will make the slide show cut! There are still several more memory sticks out there that didn't make it onto my laptop, but I could not look through any more before Sunday! I think this is a good time to apply one of my husband's favorite philosophical phrases, "What it is, is what it is."

So, definitely more Mexico to follow. Just a peek into my world for today -- Scott & Johnny both got sick AFTER we returned from Mexico. Poor Johnny went to a Christian concert in San Francisco the same day we returned. We got a call from a desperate young man who began throwing up soon after arriving at The Filmore Theater. Scott & I did the good parent thing and drove down to bring him home. Our transmission broke on the way out of SF and we drove the rest of way home wasting a ton of gas and never going faster than 50. Scott got sick the next day...fortunately AFTER the Sunday School class he was teaching. Johnny stayed home Monday & Tuesday but he is definitely on the mend. He was feeling good enough this afternoon to be really ornery. His antics included posting a video he took with his new camera on his blog. It was of his sister singing, unaware that a stalker had the camera aimed at her. I know at least one person saw it before he was forced to delete it. I would do the same thing to him if I knew how, but since I don't, we had to lay down some new guidelines about what you can & cannot post.

For all of those who prayed for Mexico, and for the Utah Mission trip my girlies went on (you can read about it on Catie's blog) I would like to say "Thank You"! It was exciting to see God work in so many ways and I felt privileged to be a part of it.
