Home Sweet Home

Around midnight last night (Saturday) we made it home, safely. What a huge relief! We had a commitment this morning at the church, as our Julianne led the entire Vacation Bible School celebration during the service. The sanctuary was packed and she really did a great job! It was a terrific homecoming event for us.

We are very proud of the girls. They did an amazing job of getting along and working together while we were gone. Alyssa (19) held down the fort and took care of her youngest sister. Julianne (16) went to volleyball practice every morning, worked every afternoon, and performed at VBS every night. Michelle (12) mainly took care of our pets: Nina, Gizmo and Talouse. The house was in good order, too! They stepped up to the plate for the benefit of their dad. For this, we are extremely grateful.

One little bump in the road did occur, however. Julianne's car was in the shop, almost the entire time we were gone, so she was driving my car. While Juli's car is getting more than $1500 worth of work done on it, she proceeds to back into Alyssa's car, located in the driveway, with MY car. So now, we have three vehicles in need of repair. In Julianne's defense, you cannot see anything in the driveway, when backing out of the garage, due to the slope. In Alyssa's defense, she did not realize that visibility was so limited, since she has never parked in the garage. Oh well, thank goodness damage was minimal and no one was hurt.
