Blur

Today felt like a blur. Such a blur. Maybe mostly cuz this weekend went by so quickly and was so full of things to do! On Saturday, I had to get up really early to go to our Skeen family reunion in Wichita. My aunt and uncle, my cousin Debbie and her two kids Madison (2) and Chase (4 months) and my other cousin Aaron picked me up at 8:30 that morning. That's early for Saturday! Like I told them, there's nothing like a family reunion to ruin a perfectly good Saturday. LOL. Of course, I was mostly kidding. Anyway, it was a fun day and we did have a good time with all the family.

Then on Sunday morning, I held baby Chase almost the whole service, until I thought my arms would fall off. He weighs 17 pounds and he was asleep the whole time. After church we had dinner in the CLC because we had the Life Chain right after that. We all went to the Life Chain together, including the babies, and that was lots of fun. Even tho it's supposed to be a kind of solemn event, it was still fun. I got to see some people (former students and such) that I hadn't seen in a loooong time so that was amazingly cool!

Sunday afternoon we just sat around and talked and I graded papers, cuz I have so much to do before the quarter ends this week. After Sunday night church, we had a birthday party for Aaron cuz he will turn 31 on the 11th (tomorrow!) {Happy Birthday, Aaron!} Aunt Wanda made a chocolate sheet cake (yum!) and she made barbeque hamburger steaks which were amazing. We laughed and laughed at Madison because she figured out that if she did something cute, we would all clap at her, so instead of doing the cute stuff, she would just start clapping, hoping we would all join in. LOL. It was so funny. I think my brother got most of it on video so that should be hilarious to watch!

When I got home, it was close to midnight, and I just kinda fell into bed and I slept so hard that when my alarm went off this morning, I thought it was something else. I was dreaming that my car door was open, and my keys were in the ignition so it was making that annoying beeping sound. So I shut the car door and the beeping noise kept going. That's cuz it was really my alarm. Duh, Tawnya!

So today was a blur. I had so much to do and it felt like I was moving in a dream. Weird, huh! This week is going to go so fast -- I can just feel it. It's the last week of the quarter and I need to get busy with grading and all the other stuff that goes along with ending the quarter. Sigh...

Well, I hope everybody had a great day. It was beautiful here in KC. Great fall weather! Cara and I went walking this afternoon and it was just incredible out there!

I'm out, till next time.
