MO and now KY

So we headed out of chicago around 12:30p on Sunday...After the conference we headed into the city!! It was completly different then NYC...I think I liked it better...It was quiter, less people, less traffic....We got to see the Hancock tower, walked down Michiagn Ave...(aka the Magnificent Mile), and went to a pizza shop that had amazing pizza!! After, we headed to MO...we left Chicago around 7pm....it was a very long tedious driver to MO...We had to switch drivers several times...But made it safely to the Shaver house at 4:30am....we decided that we don't like to drive after a long day of "hecticness"(yes, I made up that word)...(( =
Are time with the Shavers wasn't not nearly long enough!! The kids have gotten so big especially Sage!! They all remembered me and didn't want me to leave...sniff sniff...I didn't want to either...(( =
We did get to go to a "pounding"...which is where a church gathers food for a family and then gives it to them...It was very neat...(pounding=food in pounds...get it?) At the church we all held hands to pray and the man said to me," I never held someons hand from NY." It was really sweet! We also met someone who was from Albany NY...it is a small world!! Diamond is a super small town, so to find someone who is from you area was neat...
The 3 of us headed out at 5am this morning, and made our way to the Lindseys house...sigh, not the car agian we all thought!!! But, after 11 hrs in the car we made it safely....11hrs...it took longer then we thought to get here...
When we got there Marianne and Angelie took some of the kids to the park to play volleyball and sing with Kenzie...a young man that we met the last time we came down here....When they got back we ate dinner and had some wonderful fellowship around the table...Mr.Lindsey read the Proverbs and we talked about it...it is always a joy to here the children put there 2 scents in...
After, we got the dinner dishes done we all headed out to the vball court and finished our evening with some fun volleyball....no pressure it was nice...(( =
Oh, before I forget I don't know if I have allergies or a head cold coming on but something is trying to get a hold of my brain and I won't...nay! I can't let it take hold of me!!!
We are also heading home tomorrow....we are leaving in the early afternoon...so if you think about it send up a prayer of saftey for us!!
Thanks...
