After being reminded (so kindly I might add) that I haven't blogged in almost a month's time, I'm back to jot down a little news for my wonderful readers.  First of all, I CANNOT believe it's been a month since my last post.  Un Be Lieve Able!  Time has just been flying.
   My cousin's wedding went really well, the ceremony was informal, but powerful.  My mom's cousin's husband said some wonderful things.  The wedding party came together and laid hands on the bride and groom and joined in prayer for their life together.  It was an amazing moment.  There were quite a few moments of laughter as well.  During the rehearsal the night before a cricket had fallen out of the lighting in the ceiling (the wedding was held in a 4H fair building) and a fellow bridesmaid and myself shrieked and kept a nervous eye on the ceiling, lest one of its buddies should join it, but land on our heads by mistake.  So during the wedding, in the midst of the vows what should fall from the ceiling just beside the pastor?  Yeah you guessed it.  The whole wedding party cracked up and the other bridesmaid gave me a look and we burst out laughing.  Oh the memories we'll have from that one.
   Last week Mom, Rebekah and I drove to Kansas City to help an old friend, Robin, from Kit Carson move to her new place in Hays, Kansas.  Her and her husband and their little family (they have two adorable boys) were leaving the big city.  She is a chiropractor and is starting a new job in Hays.  Packing up and loading the trucks went really well.  The humidity was hard to get over, since we're dry land natives.  The heat was intensified and while I’ve experienced it before Mom and Rebekah have never been in Missouri in the summer.  It was completely foreign to them to be sopping wet without having been in water.  lol  I must admit it was funny.
   They were so kind and took us to Oceans of Fun in KC where we cooled off in the pools and waterslides.  Unlike Colorado the pools were very warm!  It was odd.  You didn't really "cool off" you just got wetter.
  Robin also took us for a driving tour of downtown Kansas City, some of which I am familiar with from my yearly trips via train to Missouri.  I was able to point out Union Station to mom and Beka who were amazed at its size and splendor (if you've never seen it, it is a really neat old building - my grandparents were there in the 40's or 50's).  I also "introduced" them to my friend's fountain which is right in front of the train station.  There is a story to that one, but I'll be kind and not publish it for the world to see.
   Overall it was a lot of work, a lot of sweat, but enjoyable!  For the drive to Hays we really had a caravan.  Robin's husband, Tim, drove the big U-Haul, Robin drove all the kids in her minivan (a SPORT minivan I should add), Tim's brother and wife drove their pickup with yard stuff in it, mom drove our car loaded with TV's and pillows and blankets and pictures, and I drove Tim's car.  Yes.  I drove in Kansas City.  And I lived to tell the tale!  Amazing isn't it?  I have to admit that I was rather proud of that accomplishment.  I might have been nervous as can be, but I made it!  The drive was rather long - 4 hours I believe, or was it 5?  Anyways, I was pretty tired when we rolled into Hays that afternoon.  Luckily there was a crowd of friends and family there to help unload and set up house.  Then there was pizza all around.
   After getting home on Sunday I crashed, then woke up the next morning to rush back into work and chores.  The week has been crazy with jobs, orders, and just catching back up with life.
   So hopefully I'll be around a bit more and keep this blog a bit more current than a post every month.
