If you've read any of my Twitter updates, you'll know that I'm on vacation. Yes, we came to where summer is... but it isn't any warmer than home right now! Phoenix is currently seeing some wet weather which means it's a little bit cooler than normal. In fact, the night we got here it was only 79... but it was 82 for a high that day in Boise! Go figure!

We're here to attend the wedding of one of my sister's roommates from college. Last night was the rehearsal dinner which we were invited to. I tried to get out of it but was finally convinced to attend because of my mother's pleading looks. She and I knew one person there - the bride. Mandie didn't know too many other people. She only knew the groom through a few "This isn't Brian, it's really Hope" text messages.

My only real request was that we get to go to the zoo. We went yesterday morning - a perfect day for it! The animals were all out and it wasn't overly crowded. Hooray! My other request has yet to be granted but I think we'll be able to work in a trip to either Chic-Fil-A or Chipolte soon. Mandie has announced that Chic-Fil-A is getting closer to Idaho. There's one in Salt Lake now. All that chickeny goodness is only 3 hours away from us now! Whoo-hoo!

Have I mentioned I'm in charge of crafts at Calvary Bible Church's Vacation Bible School next month. In charge. Yep. Me. I don't really like being in charge of things and I especially don't like bureaucracy... and I didn't put down the list of meetings on my calendar when I first got the little hand out that I can no longer find so I missed the big meeting where I was supposed to show off the main project for this year's VBS. That's okay because I didn't really have the idea until yesterday.

This is what we're doing!

Well, not exactly like this. Instead of buying this particular kit, I'm going to make one up. The top is going to be an inch of round PVC pipe. 5 strings of beads will come off it with beads (like this idea) but with a shrinky dink verse on the bottom of each. There will be the main verse colored and decorated around the PVC pipe.

This is my calculations just for beads.(you don't need to read the math if you don't want to) )

So, in a nutshell... don't tell me what to do, I'll eventually figure it out and it won't be on your timetable.

One should not really be a stubborn ass when one is working with a church one does not even attend anymore but... one can't seem to help it. *grins*

I completely forgot that my LJ anniversary was the 14th! I've been here for four years and 5 days! Wow!

Where was I four years and five days ago? Where was I going? How was my life different? How have I changed? How am I better? How am I worse?

But I do know something for sure. I would do it all again. There are things I would change but I wouldn't change that I came here. LJ has shaped who I am today.
