We have returned!!

Well, we are back!! We returned from Colorado Sunday afternoon about 3:30. It was a AWESOME time! The youth groupies had a great time and all got along well, which was suprising. The trip really went well with no major inncidents. We went rafting on class 4 rapids (the highest is a 6 which is basically a waterfall).....so they were pretty intense. It was fun to see the kids grow in there relationship with Christ. So many of the girls are struggling with things that I can't imagine going through. It's amazing how different things are for a teenager than when I was a teenager (which wasn't that long ago).....Many of them were dealing w/ issues with their parents, which I never dealt with. I ask for prayers for the girls, that the would become closer w/ God and w/ their family.

At any rate, it was back to the grind today. It's a good thing that Monday is a half day of work because I was pretty tired this morning. Hefty had to work 3-11 so he got to sleep in. We did 5 loads of laundry after the trip, which I finished today. I also cleaned a bit in the house. Last night we went to my mom's house for a bon-fire/cookout. It was nice to be w/ the family after a week away. My sister-in-law got a job at Family Fare too now! She is working at the QuickStop. It's truly a "family affair" their. Hefty, Tracy, Kyle and myself work there, which is pretty cool. I am excited about the holiday weekend! Hefty and I will most likely go to the fireworks and hang out in the park for the evening. We also are seriously going to plan this trip to California to visit our friends hopefully this week. We miss them alot!!

Amy (a fellow Youth Leader) and myself are hoping to start a girls Bible Study over the summer. We feel like they need it. I also need it. I need to be more accountable to read my Bible and to grow deeper in my faith. Hopefully it all pans out!! Well, I think that's about it!!

In HIM, Megan

This weekend....

Another weekend come and gone. They go way way too fast!! Hefty and I had Saturday off from work so we spent some time together. We went to lunch and then went to his moms just to say hi. She was happy to see us. Then we made the rounds and went to my mom and Larry's house. At night we went to Freddie's (Hefty's brother) and ate and watched The Bucket List. It was a really good movie. It made me think a lot about the way I want to live my life. I didn't even get to see my dad on Father's Day because we were at church in the morning and then in the early afternoon we had a wedding to go to. I know it seems a bit odd, but they had a wedding on Sunday. It was a really nice wedding and it was good to be with friends again. This morning we both worked, which was ok. We went to my mom's for dinner tonight so that was nice. We are getting ready for CO! I went a bought us some sleeping bags today....fun fun! Well, I think that's all. Have a nice week!!

A day off....

So with my new job, comes a new schedule. On Mondays, I work only til 12:30, so it seems like a day off to me. It was nice to come home and be able to do a few things around the house. I vaccumed, finished my laundry and made dinner. I also actually went to the library and got some books!! It was nice to be able to spend some time to myself too. Hefty is working again tonite....YUCK!! I am at home watching The Bachlorette. I love that show! It's great! Well, tomorrow is another work day. Hopefully it will go well again. That's about it really. Have a good week! Megan

Rain Rain Go AWAY!!

Well, as most of you know, we had a ton of rain last night. It was really hard to sleep with all of the thunder and lightning going on. Lucky for us, our basement isn't too bad at all. There was a tiny but of water in it, but nothing major. I was suprised because we always have water in it when it rains, and it rained more than ever last night. Anyways, I hope that we don't get too much more rain. We went to church this morning and had a parent meeting for our CO trip. It went well. Hefty has to work tonite. YUCK! I hate it when he works because then I am alone. It gets boring. Oh well. At least we have jobs right? Last night we went to a "housewarming" party for our friends, Matt and Nicole. It was good to see all of our friends again. Well, I think that's about it really. Another week begins......

A fresh start!

A new week....a new job. It was my first day on my new job! It went really well. It was only a half day today because our church office is only open til 12:30, so that was a easy, nice way to ease into things. I think that I am really going to like it! It is alot more laid back and much less stressful than the daycare. We shall see what happens the rest of the week.





This weekend I was a bit under the weather, however went to work Saturday night. Hefty went to his niece's ballet recital on Saturday evening. I was kindda bummed to miss it, but they took lots of pictures. I am going to go see a movie tonight with my Melanie, so that should be some good "girl time". I think that's about it for now.....hope all is well!!

Dinner with a Chef....

The last few days have been uneventful for the both of us, except for last night. Megan has been sick the last few days. Last night we hosted a dinner for a couple from our church. The thing is, the husband is a master chef. That made the both of us a little nervous. However, everything turned out great and they both actually really enjoyed the burritos and side trimmings we cooked up and the peanut butter pie we had for dessert. They also brought some really good wine that we all enjoyed.

Megan's last day at Appletree was Friday. It was a little bittersweet. She is definitly glad to be done with Appletree, however she is going to really miss most of the kids and their parents. A couple of the parents got her a little floral plant and a 'dream' plaque. That was really nice of them. Hefty is in the middle of a three day weekend, and is definitly enjoying it. He is also playing on a softball team on Wednesday nights. They are currently 2-2 and he is really enjoying catching for the new team he is on. We are getting ready for our trip to Colorado. We have a parent meeting next Sunday for the parents of the kid who are going. We are only 3 weeks away!!

Weekend and Such...

Well, today was the beginning of my last week at Appletree. It is kindda sad. I am going to miss most of the kids and the parents there. I have made some good friendships with some of the employees there also, but it is time to move on. I can not wait to start at church. It's going to be a new challange...but I know that I am up for it!! Last night, Memorial Day, we went to my mom's house for a BBQ. It was a good time, and the food was delicious! All my step-siblings were there and we found out that my step-brother and his wife are expecting a baby! I am so excited for them!!! They already have a 5 year old and they are GREAT parents. Tonite, Hefty and I went to Logan's for dinner because I didn't feel like cooking tonite. I planted some flowers in the front tonite too! I am no "green-thumbs" so I hope that they don't die. Well, I think that's about it.
