oh yes. i did just decide to wash my clothes at one-ish in the AM. oh yes.
clever waste of time? i think not.
today was not at all what i expected. i shall tell you my story.
saturday morning is Kid's Rec at 10. it's usually a youth staff and a volunteer. all week we thought we would have two volunteers and a staff. nope. just a staff. me. lovely. so...it made things interesting...luckily we have some awesome 12/13 year olds who 'volunteered' to help out (we pay them in Bronco Dollars)...they were amazing! it made my job so easy!
well...then Scott showed up. Scott is a "Navy forever!" proclaimer/engineer/ex-parachute maker/handy man/grown-up nerd/giver. well. when things aren't up to Scott's level he decides to make them at his level...i.e...our vaccuum was awful...so he bought us a new one (twice).
well. apparently my desk wasn't good enough for him (not really good enough for me either...but i was making it work...)...so he brought in his "old" computer desk...practically new! extra shelves, more space, and modern...then...Katie's desk, according to Scott, needed shelving...so he put in shelving.
just wait. he then takes two of our teens (who helped put the desk together) and myself to lunch. oh yes. and then to home depot for more tool things...and then to office depot where he literally grabs my collar and drags me toward the office chairs...and tellls me to "pick one." I argue. "my chair is fine!...blah blah blah" he says (remember he was in the Navy) "your chair is a piece of $&!*" oh yes. pretty funny. well he bought me a chair. a $140 chair (!!!!!!!!!!!). and it's amazing :)
i am for sure not complaining!!!
so yes. not what i expected. new desk. new chair. wow.
i just got back from an awesome game night/movie night with church friends...so fun! almost dominated at 'forks' (spoons)...but access was denied...and we watched the Sandlot. loves it.
it's october. i've been here almost 5 months (the 14th?) and it's already so much more than i imagined!
Hannah Ito gets here on Saturday. SO pumped!
we have lots to plan for the fall holidays...should be pretty busy...hoping to take the kids to the harvest farm, trick or treating at the Invesco suites, and to six flags for fright night....crazy. (that's all in 3 days...back to back to back...oh yes.)
well i'm pretty sure my clothes are dry-ish!
goodnight dear friends.

You are a hoot! Glad for the chair...I told Clint the story and when I mentioned the part about him grabbing your collar, he thought the story was abou to somewhere else...kind of funny! Maybe I should show him your blog!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
That is interestingly awesome that this man is so "giving" and caring. He sounds like the guy that I was stationed with in England...been there, done that, and liked to brag about it...not a giving sort though. Have fun with Ito and enjoy your snow...Love ya tootsie!
