We came home from Youth Camp on Thursday afternoon. We spent a few hours unpacking, doing laundry, doing a few repairs to the 5th wheel (maintenence things), and then showering. Bill & I decided that we needed to get out for some time alone, since we'd been with kids for three days straight. Not a huge thing for us...but we needed to deprogram, and pick up a few groceries for the weekend of camping. Now it was OUR Weekend!! Time to relax, visit with longtime friends (more like family) and enjoy the weather. 
We headed back over to the church to drop off the tables, chairs, and drink containers that we borrowed, and found our pastor & his wife Sherry working on a fence to use as a backdrop for our outdoor services. So, being it was getting late, and they seemed to have a ways to go, we hung around and helped out (Bill helped...I visited with Sherry, and we were tool gophers!)We left the church property around 9, and headed for dinner. We had a quick bite, and then headed to Walmart and do our shopping. We got home around 11:30, and headed to bed.
On Friday morning, our intent was to get up & head out around 10am. We were so exhausted from the weeks activites at camp, and the long day prior, we decided to hang out, get some things done, have a nap, and then head to camp. Being it was so far away (About 10 minutes!), we enjoyed a nap, lunch, and then headed off to Waterloo.
It was a nice afternoon & evening, with no rain. We had a great night of visiting with friends and catching up. Poor Melissa came down with the stomach flu and spent the night in a tent with a bucket....thankfully, no one else got it. 
Saturday, it was a great lazy day. Some of the guys went fishing (Ryan was in heaven as we aren't fishermen) and Kristin was able to join Jen & Eric to see Eric's girlfriends daughter perform in her recital for dance. Kristin was thrilled!We had a great stew dinner, stone soup style! Whatever we had, we threw in! It was great...along with another great fire, great stories and even Melissa felt good enough to join us for the fire, and even dinner!
Sunday, most everyone packed up & headed home. We decided to hang out another day with Mike and Kathy....we had a great visit and did a lot of catching up. It was great! Bill & Mike chatted a lot about Bill's possiblilty of applying for dispatch like Mike did....for some reason it seems like it would be a good fit for Bill. Pray that there is an opening for him to give it a try. I really feel like this is something that Bill would be great at....and the benefits are great. Being we have a flexible school schedule with the kids...shift work would not be an issue, as each week the days off are different...yet every other weekend is off. Keep him in prayer as he researches this possibility...and if it's God's will, there will be an opening!
