Relaxing... mostly...

Soooo, here we are again.

So, Jeromy had this idea to hand out bags filled with christian tracks and mini Bibles during the folk life festival this weekend in Seattle. Our Pastor Kevin thought it was a great idea. So after a few months of preparation, several members from church stayed after to have a bag stuffing party with lunch. The church provided everything from lunch, and also the 2000 bags, tracks and mini Bibles. This was not a cheap endeavor!

Here's several people helping stuff the bags, young and old...

See Aurora? She was a great helper...

So yesterday several of us, including Pastor Kevin, headed over to Seattle. We were so blessed with such a beautiful day. The forecast said rain, so knowing me, I was already prepared for not being happy about that. But it was BEAUTIFUL!!! We probably walked 5 miles, and that's a conservative guess. There was an estimated 75,000 people to be at this event. It was such a great day, most of the people were receptive to the bags, some people gave them back. And one guys came back to me and said he was a believer and he said he wanted us to give the bag to someone who needed it. What a great day!!!

Here's Jeromy and I in Seattle...

So since we were in Seattle all day yesterday, I couldn't do my 9 miles. So I did 'em this morning before church. How many people can say they ran 9 miles before church? Any other crazies out there besides me??? LOL Here's me after 9 miles...Also, I receive another award from work, I may have mentioned this one already, but it was the employee of the quarter. Well they send you to the photo lab in the yard and take your picture then put it in the Salute (it's a bi-monthly paper for the shipyard). But they also give the person (me) an 8x10 copy.... so what am I going to do with a huge 8x10 of my face???? I thought about taping it to the bathroom mirror in our bathroom, then when Jeromy gets up early in the morning and turns on the light it would freak him out! But then I thought that wasn't very nice (still laughing at the thought of it tho) So I just put it by his computer. So he hung it up next to his computer... he's so funny...I also wanted to wish TESSA a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!! Here's some random pictures of Tessa and friends.... Here's TESSA with Nadia, Aurora and Jade...

Here's TESSA enjoying the whip cream the way it was meant to be enjoyed!!!

Remember this one Tessa? TESSA is the cute girl in the middle, amongst all the other cuteness....Happy 15th Birthday Tessa! We all love and miss you and can't wait to see you!!!! Do you remember this one Tessa??? Tessa and I got one of those photo strips at the mall one time, and Tessa wrote on mine "Love last forever", it sure does Tessa, I still have this picture on my fridge!!!
