So here's a run down of what I've been up to this past week. Last Wednesday, we had church rotation in Roanoke. After church, we went to Lauren Schroeder's house. It was a great evening/night! They get pretty late:) Thursday, I didn't have school or work, so naturally I slept in until 10. I had good intentions of waking up early and taking Sophie to Monkey Joe's for a few hours. My bed was feeling pretty comfy though, so I decided to stay there for a while:) When I finally woke up, I went upstairs to find some flowers with my name on them. There was no name from who it was, so I am assuming it was my secret sister. For the majority of the day I played with Sophie. I love her so so so much:) Maybe my next post will be about all the cute stuff she does and is learning. Later in the afternoon, I went shopping with Amber for a few hours, then went home for our family's Valentine's dinner. Mom went all out this year. We had delicious cheeseburger shop, heart-shaped biscuits, heart-shaped meat and cheese, fresh veggies, and heart-shaped raspberry jell-o. For breakfast, Mom had made heart-shaped pancakes. She is so creative:) Mom got us each a different kind of candy, and Dad bought all of us girls a bouquet of candy:) So we had to split it up. He always gets us stuff for Valentine's Day. I also had bought my sister's candy. As you can imagine, Tessa and Sophie were on a sugar overload. Friday, we had Elderly Singing at Roseann Stahl's. We sang at Courtyard Estates in Bradford and then went back to Roseann's for a snack. Rhea and I left earlier so we could go surprise Ben and Katie's kids. We didn't stay long though. We have been doing that lately, because we remember not long ago when our uncles would come over after a Single Group function and surprise us. We remember loving that, so we decided that we should do that too:) It's funny how it doesn't seem that long ago that my uncles were doing that, and now it's us who it doing it. It amazes me how fast time flies. Of course they were quite a bit older than we are now:) We are glad they are finally married, although it seems that all my teasing my uncles to get married is coming back at me. Adam especially gets a kick out of it. Saturday I worked from 7:15-12:00. When I got home, I did some cleaning, and then Dad, Claire, Cassie, Tessa, and I headed over to Pekin to go ice skating. Lucas and Diana Gudeman rented out the whole ice skating rink for a couple of hours, so there was a massive group of AC's from Princeville, Bradford, and Tremont ice skating. Dad had never been ice skating before, so it was hilarious seeing how wobbly he was at first. By the end, he was skating faster than me, and doing spins and such. I obviously did not get his athletic abilities. We left at around 5:50 so I could make it to testimonies in Washington. Then on Sunday, I went to Princeville for the morning service, and Washington for the afternoon service. Brice Knapp got baptized, so that is why I was there. He goes to ICC, so that is how I know him. After baptisms, Amber and I went to Adam and Brittany's for supper with Olivia Steffen. Olivia left almost immediately after supper. I basically read books to Kylie the whole night. I also let her play with my phone resulting in her deleting all my pictures:) It's not that big of a deal considering I really only use my phone to text and call. Tim Ringger also came over, so we spent some time looking for baby names for Adam and Brittany. It was pretty funny listening to Tim try to pronounce some of the names in the book. There are some pretty crazy names out there. We left at around 10. Monday was a pretty normal day, although I didn't have to work, which was so nice. I stayed at school for a few minutes after I was done with class, just to use the internet and talk to Seth. Here is how a lot of conversations go.
Seth: Do you want to see something?
Me: Sure.
(get's out his smart phone and shows me a picture of his car)
Seth: I put a new muffler on it this weekend. It's smaller than before.
Me: That's cool, does it make it not so loud?
Seth: No, it make's it louder.
Me: Well, my Dad's truck has a huge muffler and it is really loud.
Seth: Your Dad doesn't have a muffler.
Who knew there is a difference between the muffler and pipe? I obviously don't have brothers. He probably really wonders about me sometimes. I got home at 1:30 on Monday, and did some cleaning. Then Rhea and I went to the singing at the nursing home. We are regulars there. We have a friend Ida who turned 100 this year and she thinks Rhea and I are the greatest thing since sliced bread. She always tells us that we will get snatched up early. We probably aren't as great and she thinks we are:) Tuesday was pretty normal, and my day off work! Wednesday(yesterday) we had church rotation in Washington. We went to Jared Folkerts after church for a snack and just to sit around and talk. It was a good night, except it got really late resulting in oversleeping this morning, resulting in me skipping my first class. Tomorrow is the first of the showers for Ryan and Ashley. We have their singing shower at the Fellowship Hall. Saturday, my cousin Tanya Wagenbach is getting married to Shawn Puckett. My dad has only one sister, Marybeth, who is married to Curt Wagenbach, and that is their daughter. They also have an older daughter, Jill who is married to Luke Hoerr and they live in Taylor, MO. They have to adorable foster children. Courtney is the one after Tanya and she is my age, and then there are the twin boys who are 7. Shawn and Tanya are getting married in Peoria. Sunday is Cassie's birthday, so we will probably be celebrating that. Monday should be pretty normal, and Tuesday is Ashley's all-church shower. I have been keeping just busy enough to not be overwhelmed for which I am very thankful. Tonight we are suppose to get a big snow, but we will see if that actually happens. I hope not!
