Such Excitement!

Friday Hubby and I hosted an appreciation dinner for the pastor nominating committee (hey, we appreciate that they called Hubby!) and we just wanted to party!  How can you tell if you are out of shape?  Throw a party and do all the cleaning and cooking and hosting and then cleaning again after the party...all on the same day.  If you can't walk upright by the end of the night, you are out of shape!!!!  Believe me; I know.

Sunday we entertained again!  But this time all of the preliminary work had been done-- house cleaned, food made- just needing to be reheated. It was so stress-free and so enjoyable.  We love seeing our friends from back home!

Boy and I had some excitement last Wednesday.  It was dark and I had just picked him up from Scouts.  We were sitting at a red light waiting for the light to turn green and then from the opposite side of the intersection a car with flashing lights drove to the middle of the intersection and stopped right in front of me....with headlights and flashing lights blaring right at us.  It was a police car!

I told Boy: Drats! They found us!  ;) 

Next thing we saw was a huge CSI truck pass by us.  We knew it was a CSI truck because the truck had huge letters with "CSI" on it for all the world to see.  That truck was followed by 4 (really, I counted!) more police trucks.  Then the flashing/ headlight in my eyes police car turned and passed by me and then all was right in the intersection again.  I can't tell you how much I wanted to u-turn in that intersection and follow them!!!  Yep, I'm nosy.  It comes naturally.  I want to be "in the know."  That was A LOT of excitement for a week.  Wouldn't you agree?

Yesterday, I was watching an episode of Border Wars on the National Geographic Channel.  I don't think I'll watch it again.  The places they showcase are just too close for comfort.  I'd like to continue living in my sweet little bubble of a strawberry patch and not wonder if the house down the street is harboring 100 illegal immigrants or 1000 pounds of some illegal substance!  Besides, I had my fill of living on the edge last Wednesday night.  Can you believe the news didn't even pick up that story??!!!  I still don't know what was going on and it is driving me crazy.  Maybe I'll see it on Nat Geo Channel sometime.

Wanted to share a photo of our party.  I was having too much fun and forgot to take more pictures!

aren't they cute?
