BUSY BUSY BUSY

Life has been crazy busy ever since the week before the kidney walk. The walk was on May 31st and it was an awesome day to see all that came to support us. Aaron's, John's and Toby's (Aaron's brother and his family) were here and it was so much fun being able to hang out with them at the same time. Jeremy and Jess came from Indiana I wasn't able to spend much time with them but it was good to see them. Coleman's classmates, baseball team, and some from his Sunday school class were there also. Thank-you don't really seem like enough to say you all will never know what it meant to us!!! I had no idea how it would make me feel being part of it but it was a feeling I wasn't expecting. There are things in life that you would like to put in the back of your brain and just not have it in your face well that is what I felt that day like it was in my face. It was like ha ha this is your life and what are you going to do about it!! After that it was time to get ready for VBS camp edge was our theme and it was a VERY long week and so many times I felt like satan was working overtime in my life I was hoping that once it started it would get better but oh NO he just tried harder. VBS was June 15th-19th the last night we were cleaning up the church and as we were walking out the door Jared's phone rang and it was the lady that rides with him to work everyday. We were in the middle of a bad storm and as she was driving down our road a tree fell on her car and she had her grand daughter with her. Her cell phone wouldn't let her call 911 or her husband all it would do is call Jared so here we are 20 minutes away from her and Jared is calling 911 for her!! Don't that sound like a great cell phone company?? They were both okay they were able to drive the car home once they got the tree off. Then I was home all day Saturday trying to get things caught up because the next day I was headed to junior high camp with our church. Camp was a week long and by the time it was over I was dead tired but it was a great week!! I am so thankful that my kids have that opportunity!!! So home on Friday night only to get things done so we could leave the following Thursday for Nebraska!! We had such a great time and I am very thankful to be able to celebrate Fredetta's 80th birthday it was a surprise and it was also a Jake Roth family reunion. This was the first one we ever had and it was a lot of fun and I am hoping we do it again every year would be fine with me and YES we will be there for everyone!!! Better yet maybe we should have them in different states. Our neighbors were able to go with us to Nebraska they have been wanting to and it worked out for them this time so we was able to show them around which was fun!! We also had gotten tickets to go see Larry the cable guy and yes we laughed and laughed but it felt so good. Dylan and Cameron babysat all the kids so they were very busy they had some issues but we were very proud of the way they handled it!!! We left Nebraska on Monday night around 10:00 and drove all night which we usually do but this time we knew that when we got home we would have visitors so that kept us going or should I say it kept Jared going. Del, Anita and Lexi were in Indiana and before they went home they came over to visit. It was their first time ever being here so we were able to show them around and we went to the lake but wouldn't you know it was freezing cold!!!! We are hoping they will come back sometime and enjoy the lake when it is hot. I will say that the rest of the week it was hot of course!! Since they left it has been a normal week of daycare then I cleaned today and when I got home Jared took the kids to a movie so I had a quiet evening which was very nice!!!! After reading all this I now know why I have felt like I am losing my mind and why I have been so tired!!!
