Well been through 10 days of teacher training which was crazy. always back and forth it seems with nursery and 2's and 3's. always hmm where is this and praying there isn't a time change. I was late yesterday and i felt horrible. Everything was crazy had 7 babies . then was late to rec center when heard it would be fine i would be late then got back 11:40 . Locking up and everything was so confusing! i just feel crappy now. But really what i want to know is whatever happened to when someone looks like they are having a bad day saying i'm sorry and trying to help instead of telling them about all your problems? i might have done it but i really hope to think before i do it. it isn't helpful.

So past week have been hanging with the mobergs doing stuff with liz and her family and friends. Saturday I played baseball and then liz got rearened wasn't her fault car stopped few cars behind her didn't stop.. pretty crazy mini van has a huge dent in the back. everyone is fine. went to church goodwill to get pants and other stuff..then church Monday nothing much went outside it was nice went and read.

Ruth and Ben her sister and brother in law were there with Justus so we talked with them for a while. Ben is helping with a breast cancer research auction since I'm from NC I brought a chick-fil-a cow and a barbecue sauce . The barbecue sauce was mailed so I'm hoping it will be here soon.

Tuesday morning Elizabeth had school . She mentioned she hadn't had cheese grits so I made her some . I woke up early to make her some and I ate and I made her some Russian tea. It was good. The girts seemed different but were still good. I then went back to sleep and she left for school . I woke up and ran some errands with Ruth and Justus. That was fun. We got food at Mcdonalds then went to ruth and bens place and waited till liz got there. We were all going to ... dun dun dun a baseball game! We drove a long tim to get to the game in Seattle. It was a mariners game. It was fun. Me and Liz made a sign hoping to win some free fries and get on tv . The sign said " Bff from NC says her fries are better then Ralley fries. Help me prove her wrong!" haha. It was awesome. Watching the game was fun. We won! :-) We went to denny's after the game which was good. It was a long tiring drive back we were all so glad to get home. Talked a bit then crashed with liz. We went to be after 2 am. We were both really tired. Liz had to wake up and go to school poor thing.

I slept past noon. aha. I woke up took a shower , ate and tried to find service with not much luck. After that I went on the computer for a bit. Liz came back we talked some and went to take her brother to his guitar lesson. After that liz showed me where she does her school stuff. We went to the store to kill time then went to church which was fun. Her friends are crazy. They had food after the service which was nice. It was good . Came back home.I was glad to see some sunshine today. It has rained past few days as per usual here.The sunshine made me smile. I was hoping to call my dad today but unfortunately phone service is sketchy . Hopefully tomorrow So that is what has happened on my trip so far!

I had a party with mom dad kay thomas and adele which was fun we had hamburgers and hung out on the patio. That was fun. Thursday I hung out with Jenny after babysitting for kay who left for a wedding on thursday.She came back then left for camp on tuesday. Jenny got me an awesome Taylor Swift poster . :-D I had fun hanging out with her. Friday I hung out with Marcos which was fun. We walked around the mall.

So Saturday was the big day. I finished packing and left for the airport with my parents. I petted the dogs and cat and left before so that was nice i'm going to miss them. When I got to the airport I got my boarding pass checked my bag hugged my parents and went through security. Everything went well. I found where my flight left it still had old information which I thought was strange but waited. Then it turned out my flight was delayed. I was supposed to leave 4:35 but the plane wasn't going to leave for atlanta until 6:50 then it moved to 7:10. And my plane in atlanta to portland would have left before I got to Atlanta.

So they gave me a choice of either going on the plane to atlanta or waiting in charlotte and coming back to the airport. I couldn't get a flight to portland until the next morning. It was either stay in a strange city by myself and ' not be guaranteed' a hotel room, and also cabs and having to make sure i got to the airport in time for the flight. Or stay at home and fly to Minneapolis know in the morning, Knowing I would have a bed to sleep in and a ride to the airport won out .Everyone in the aiport was ticked off i felt bad for the airport people. It wasn't their fault. It took me a while to find my bag I had to go to bag services but thankfully I finally got it. I got to sit so that was nice.I then went home kept bags in the car took a few things out. I skyped with liz. I ate grits like 9 at night haha.

I then left the next morning. I went to the airport. I took a few extra minutes re-checking my bag in . I had to make sure I didn't get charged extra since bag got checked yesterday but I didn't go anywhere. But I got through.I almost thought I lost my permit but it was just in my hoodie pocket. I went through security. The security worker teased me saying " You forgot to take your laptop out of the case. "That's 20 pushups! " haha. :-) I then went to go look at the moniters to find the gate and where my plane would be leaving but they didn't have Minneapolis . I was ok.. I thankfully walked past security. They gave me back my laptop. I finally went to go ask a delta flight person behind a desk and it turned out to be my flight! so I was happy. They soon called 1st class people gold members , then silver. I really wanted cinnabon but oh well.

Also I noticed my shirt was on inside out. ahha. It happens. I did have to wake up early. I got on the plane and had a seat to myself . I slept a good bit. On my layover I got food ran into someone from my flight from Charlotte and talked to him he was nice. After that I got to my flight in a good amount of time. I didn't get to finish all my food but oh well. I sat next to an Asian Couple on the plane with their cute baby girl. She was sweet. I got to hold her for a minute . I offered while her dad had to move some of the luggage and her mother was gone. I kept her entertained looking out the window. I slept and read and wrote . It was a 3 hour flight. I was very glad to get off.
