a full day

whew! it has been a full, great day! i knew that it would be busy, but it was fun too. i had to go to wal-mart to fill a prescription this morning, and when i went to pay for it, they had my old address on file. we moved in 2000, so apparently i haven't been sick enough to need a prescription medicine since at least then. i'm pretty healthy!

anyway, after i left wal-mart (i was there over an hour...gee whiz), i grabbed lunch, came home and took a shower, and then went to the first of two baby showers today. the first one was for a friend of mine from high school. i say high school, but we've really known each other since the 2nd grade. since she and her husband don't live here, i obviously don't get to see her a whole lot. it was really great seeing her. it seems weird that my friends are having babies though. i told kelli that we weren't old enough to have babies and she said, "uh...yeah you are!" the shower was so nice. i loved the way they had it set up, and my favorite part was that after they opened the presents, everyone gathered around them and prayed for them and their baby. how cool is that?

i left that shower and went home to rest for a little while, then i picked up my mom and went to another baby shower, this time for another longtime friend who also attends our church. we had a really great time and even had some yummy hamburgers.

after the shower was over, i headed over to my friends' house for taco soup and games (yes, i ate again). while pauline was cooking the soup, i was telling the girls about the baby showers. at one point i mentioned that i was so glad that we didn't play games at either of the showers (i absolutely abhor playing games at showers) and pauline said, "oh, that's good to know for when we plan your baby shower!" maybe i should concentrate on getting married first. =)

the taco soup was so delicious, and we had cornbread to go with it. so, so good. then we played apples to apples and, of course, buzz word! i'm happy to report that i was on the winning team this time. woo hoo!

truth be told, i'm kind of sad that tomorrow's the last day of our fall campaign. i have learned so much and have been reminded of God's greatness through this entire campaign. but i'm excited to see what else God has in store for solid rock church.
