Alas...we made it to Florida!

Monday June, 13

Whew... what a day we had on monday...well actually, let me start back on the weekend.  There has been numerous country break-ins around our area and we found out that the people that are behind it are these guys who have been going around selling school books to people.  They get in your house, get to know their way around, and then come back later to rob it, at least that's the rumor. Anyways, after we heard all of this that was going on, mom realized that she told one of those guys (they came to our house to try and sell us books... you think we bought any?!?! NO!!!) anyways, she told one of those guys that we were getting ready for vaca and didn't have time for him.  Great..she thought later...because now these guys know were going to be gone and we are prob going to be robbed.  Thus, started the packing of all our valuables and we shipped them to my sisters incase of a break in. 
On sunday, I was talking to a few of you and you gave me the great idea of placing a bible out in the open with a note for the intruders.  Here's what I came up with:

Incase you can't read it, it read

Dear intruder,

This is the most valuable item we have in this house.

Please take a moment to read it and consider its words.

And please, feel free to take it with you!

God loves you!

And I opened it to Exodus 20:15- THOU SHALT NOT STEAL

Hopefully they get the point...! 

So monday began bright and early (actually, Karla, you were probably up before me! ;) ) We loaded up my car and headed to b-town, and I had to drive so dad could make some phone calls.  (I figured it would be more safe for me to drive, than dad trying to drive and talk...men just aren't multitaskers...) Little did I know that he probably woulda gotten us to the airport safer than I... we decided to make a stop at Mickey D's and I was making a right turn. There was a car in front of me and he started to head forward like he was pulling away, so I looked left and started to turn b/c no one was coming... OOPS.  To my complete humility, the van infront of me had not pulled away and I bashed into him.  So much for turning 21 w/out any accidents (and running into a parked trailor does not count....it wasn't my fault ;) ) So... my day started out wonderful! haha. (and the people I hit were not the nicest guys around...good thing we left our house valuable-free b/c they now have our address...YIKES!) So then... lets see... what happened next...?  Oh yes... I put too many pins in my hair...stupid hair... and had to get fully padded down at the airport.  You know how hard it is to try and keep a smile on my face?! GRrrr.  So we traveled to our gate, and who do we meet there, but my high school assistant principle, Mr. Quam.  Little did we know they would follow us all the way to florida on the same planes and end up staying at the same resort! WEIRD!  I guess Jesse will start out on his good side!
