VBS

today is wednesday, which means that i must survive only one more day of vacation bible school at my church. i volunteered to help so that my sweet, precious, angelic, four year old babysit-ee could attend the four day fun fest. i mean, how bad could it be- he hangs out with friends from school, learns about how great he is and how much god and jesus love him and i plan a fun craft projectand get a little bit of adult conversation for three hours a day- piece of cake, right? could not be more wrong. i'm beginning to seriously doubt that many of these children have ever heard the word "no", my body feels as if i have been running daily half-marathons while studying for final exams, and poor winston (the absolute best yorkie ever) is so sad that all his best friend is capable of at night is to throw his rope once and then pass out in her bed (well, his bed- but he generously shares it with me!) children are exhausting! on the upside, the kids are having a ball and maybe they are learning something, too!

determined to end on a positive note, my sweet friend travis asked his terrific girlfriend, meg, to marry him this past saturday and she said "yes"!! i am so excited for them. this also means i get to visit one of my favorite cities in january- dallas here i come!
