So it was a really busy weekend. Really fun too. Friday night Ellie had the yg for a western mystery supper and singing. We all dressed in our western best so there were lots of boots and bandannas and guns... I wore my moccasins and brown and put feathers in my hair. I was the only indian... which I love. We sang out of the country western hymnals (after they put their guns away) and people brought instruments- a stand up bass, a mandolin, two violins, and a bunch of guitars.
Matt and I left for Kansas City right after the singing... at 9pm. Yes, we know we're crazy. But the roads were deserted and it only took us 6 hours with a stop for gas and a stop for those pretty red, white, and blue lights. *sigh* I was going to save money and not spend 80 dollars on a ticket to the Lion King (I went in HS) and instead I get to pay some podunk missouri town $83. It was after midnight and there was no one else on the road (except the cop I guess) and he must have been bored because I'm pretty sure I was only going 67 in a 60, and he said I was going seventy. I wanted to ask if he was serious... but I didn't argue. Uncle Randy says I was doing my part to help impoverished school districts in central MO... haha.
Anyway, we got there at 3am and I slept pretty late. Brent brought his two girls over for awhile... and then Galen and Shan stopped by with their girls... We played some games and chilled most of the afternoon. After supper the boys left for the Lion King and Aunt Karen and I went to 'run errands' which turned into going a few places and then getting cheesecake at the Cheese Cake Factory. So good!
It was good to see everybody at the KC church again! I got to sit with Amor and Kami in church... they are both potty-training and there was one extremely amusing (for me anyway) incident involving Kami and a puddle on the floor... haha.
We left for home right after church, and after a few hands of Rook. We stopped in Hannibal to switch drivers at a gas station... and ran into an old HS friend. So random! He was in KC to visit his fiance and to go to the Lion King (oddly enough). We haven't seen him in years and he was the last person I expected to run into on 36 last night. Craziness.
Morning came way too early...
Blessings.

turns out we probably saw each other on 36 last night and didn't even KNOW it!! i was on my way home from phil and anna's wedding! remember that one time we went to KS together? i think that was my first time. maybe we should do that again....
probably! i was surprised we didn't see anybody since we stopped twice.
that was a fun trip...
I'm so sorry about your ticket. But Randy is right, maybe you will help some poor school boy learn math well enough to go to college someday.
myabe he'll love science instead and then become a chemist and then become your prot`eg`e and then you'll BOTH be FAMOUS, all b/c you got a ticket on the way to kansas.... :)
