Another Great Weekend

On sat evening Josh and I decided to play some putt putt. To say the least I had never play and that was very clear by the total number of par, Josh 47 Rhoda 60. The sad thing is that the par total was supposed to be 39. But we had tons of fun!!

This where the balls were most of the time.... not in the hole.


I told Josh I wanted to get a picture of him with the Giraffe.


So he said he wanted a picture of me with the truck!!! Men:-)

Live

As I'm sure you all have heard many times Ike kinda throw a curve in our lives here in Cincinnati. Sunday around noon it started getting ugly outside. By that night we were without power and freezers started to melt. Well now it is Wed afternoon and we are still without power. My freezer and fridge is empty (thanks to a friend my freezer stuff was saved), my library books have all been read, and Internet is only found else where. The students all got to go home, all the staff got the week off but maintenance department. So I'm still here hanging out and realizing hope blessed I am to normally just flip a switch and get light. So that at update on me!!

Amazed

You know those days when it starts off great than it becomes amazing and finally it is wonderful!! Well that was today! Today just started off great. I went and babysat this morning for a few hours. The little guy was not feeling well so he was very calm and just laid on the couch (easy for me:-). I than met up with Christy Elliot for a few hours. There are some people in the world that are simply amazing! No matter what happens in their life they are always there to smile, pat your back, and talk. Well that is Christy. I love you girl!! And than this evening Josh and I just hung out. Went to Starbucks and used a gift card from our wedding and got something to drink and just enjoyed being together. Well that was after we had to work on the car yet again. Honestly, we should just go back to a horse and buggy!!

Great Weekend

This past weekend Josh and I babysat for the best 2 kids in the world. I never thought I could love someone else's kids like I love them. I want to see them grow up to be amazing people. Their parents were gone so we got to stay in there beautiful house on the Ohio River.
