Creepy Guys & Surprise Parties

October 14, 2007

We had Friday off for another crazy holiday that we are not totally sure out…we think it is some armed forces thing again. It was really nice to have the extra day off. I did not get as much done as I should have school wise. But it was nice to have some down time to just relax and have fun.

I know this is going to sound crazy but I had to sing up font this Sabbath. It was supposed to be all the SMs but they decided that they did not know about it even though we had talked about it a few times during the week and they choose to go to another church. So it ended up being only Lori, Karen and I…believe me I tried to get out of it but they would have none of it. haha…oh well there were not many people there but trust me I never want to do it again. Karen also had special music during church...it was awesome she is an amazing singer! I have told her if she ever wants to make me happy she just has to start singing.

We played skip-bo Saturday night after dinner. It was a lot of fun…you can even play with partners…seriously check out the directions it’s pretty cool!

Okay one random story and then I need to get bed…so last Sunday we went to the market and I was really not feeling good. I thought I was going to pass out…we choose to walk down a street that we don’t normally to get back the main boulevard and we had to walk past a lot of creepy guys. We have gotten good at ignoring their calls and comments…but this one guys decides to grab my back and pull on my shirt. It totally caught me off guard. I mean they always make their little noises and comments but normally they don’t touch us. I had my hands full of the stuff we had gotten at the market and I just jumped forward to break free from his hand and speed up. It really freaked me out and I almost started crying. Thankfully that has not been the norm though.

So I lied I have one more story I forgot to tell. My 3rd graders threw me a surprise party last week! It was so random but I guess they just wanted to. I was walking to the class room to teach after recess and I hear all this yelling and stuff coming form the class and when I walk in they all yell surprise and are throwing things. It was really funny. They had decorated the classroom and made sandwiches, and had soda, ice cream and cake, they even made me a little piñata. To say the least they are crazy kids but I am really growing to love them!

It has started to poor…I really hope that my black pants that are on the clothes line are far enough under the garage that they won’t get soaked!

Blessing to all of you!
