What a Weekend...

My in-laws are internet-less. Grrrr......

What that means is that I just spent an entire weekend without my new favorite sidekick...my computer. I resorted to checking my facebook and a few blogs on Kirk's blackberry, but that just isn't the same. Besides, he kept hijacking his phone into the woods with him to hunt each day, so I didn't have 24/7 access......so frustrating.

We just got home from Missouri an hour ago, and I wasted no time in trying to catch up on all my connectivity. I've missed you all......

(Yes, I realize that I live in a sad little world where all my friends live in my computer....)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a totally different note....our little community has experienced a lot of tragedy this weekend. Kirk and I were contacted about 3 terrible happenings; all leaving us in a crazy swirl of thankfulness for God's grace and provision and of wondering how things can get so bad for some people so fast. People's lives were spared miraculously this weekend and others' lives are hanging in the balance. You just never know....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm off to bed. I'm tired after a weekend of doing nothing (how is that?), but more tired after a long car ride complete with a Bug Juice catastrophe (that's a brand of kool-aide, for all you non-preschool-parents), a nasty McDonalds' experience, and an incident in the back seat that left Keaton with a black eye thanks to Sawyer. Whoever said road trips were good family bonding time were C-R-A-Z-Y!!!! They just leave the Goodrums agitated and grouchy.

I've got some cute pictures from the weekend...but I'm too sleepy to post them....I'll get them on tomorrow!

The "Road trip" sounds fun, but weren't you missing two more kids, your blonde sister and a crazy dog?:)

My (least) favorite road trip memory is our trek from Arkansas to Colorado when we moved here. We were driving two cars, and Abbey started throwing up when we got to DeQueen, AR. Threw up the entire trip way to CO. The entire way. Oh, and did I mention we were in two vehicles? Uh-huh. John was driving solo. I'm not bitter or anything.

Glad you're home and plugged in again.

Hey, what's going on in Arkadelphia????
