Farewell Old Dryer . . .

. . . Hello, new one! Well, new to us. My friends have known for over a year that I've been keeping the dryer door shut with duct tape and that it takes FOREVER to dry a load. So, when they saw one at a garage sale last weekend, they let me know - good friends! I know what you're thinking. "You got a dryer at a garage sale?" Well, let me tell you - it looks brand new to me -and I got it for only $50! It is a marked improvement over our other one (which, by the way, had been used to store dog food in before we had it)! I used the new one today - and it works fabulously! Maybe since we got such a good deal on this dryer, we can look for a brand new washer . . .

    Your old dryer is just like mine...that I got at a garage sale for $50 before Matthew and I got married! I have to have a plastic knife taped (with duct tape - of course!) to the safety switch inside the door to make mine run (otherwise it thinks the door is still open and won't turn on!). Mine still dries well though! :)

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
