busy, busy girl

So, generally when there is no school, bus drivers get a day off. I barely have had a couple hours off in the last week! I've been hanging at church, painting, or working at church, driving, sitting in all day classroom training, traveling, working HARD at camp....out to a concert. This is the first night I have had a break really. Not that I couldn't have been working. It's a good thing I enjoy what I do and actually get to do things even though not resting....or I'd be absolutely dying.
So the weekend at camp was cool. Man did Rach keep Em and I busy with food! I do for sure have much respect for people that do that on a regular basis, such as for the summer..and of course for Rachel, Patty, Linda, and Mac that work hard in that kitchen. Talk about sore feet! And early mornings too...struggle...on Sunday morning Em and I put together 436 half sandwiches. Holy moly. Here is a pic of us with all the sandwiches we made:

Like I said, we got to hang out with Tate, Kelly and Seth....on Saturday Seth wore a shirt that I bought him for his first birthday in August! Go Vikes! (His grandma is a big Packers fan...grr...so she buys him green stuff...good thing Tate loves his Vikes!) He does the cutest thing. You say, "what do you do when there's a TOUCHDOWN!?" And he puts his arms up to show you. I tried to get a pic. Didn't happen. Anyway, here's my little buddy:

And for those of you who want to know the progress on Birch Lodge, I took a few pics of that. It's at a stand still cuz of money and well, it's cold outside. But it looks sweet. The progress really is amazing.


My final excitement of the weekend was the Jason Morant/Bethany Dillan/Bebo Norman concert. Good times. Seriously. I love Bethany! We waited a few seconds (yeah, not a long line!) to talk to her after the concert and have her sign my CD. Here is the pic we took with her:

She is one artist whose music I don't mind having in my head...currently even...
"slip your hand in mine, dance with me tonight, just ask me for my love...a dream i wont wake from...lalala..."
We still need help on a band name. Peter said, "hotties inc". Um...not goin' over so well for us! HELP!!!!!!!
Bought two more great CD's today: Matthew West and Palisade. Can't wait to get those in my head!
NEWS OF THE DAY:
My dad called me tonight and said that he wanted to share the latest with me...he won a car!!!!! WHOA! He got this thing in the mail the other day for whatever promotion thing a ma jing they had going on at Rosedale Dodge (he drives a Caravan). He didn't have anything to do and they had free food so he went. There was a drawing for a used car and thinking not much of it (MAYBE he would win Vikings tickets! :)), he entered. Well, he actually won! So now he is the proud (?) owner of a 1994 Ford Explorer with 200,000 miles. Yeah, kinda funny. Supposedly it's worth upwards of $1500. So maybe he'll sell it for $1000...don't know yet. If you are looking for a car, let me know!
