Long Time

So, it's been a while since I posted. I've been busy! Mostly gone, but also busy. On Aug 25 my "Jaquess" family took a vacation down to Stillwaters Resort in Branson. It's just a few miles past Silver Dollar City although we didn't visit SDC during this vacation. SDC was closed preparing for their next festival. Our vacation started Sunday afternoon as soon as church was over. We ate lunch together and caravanned down. Dad did a little magic and some stories for the kids and then talked to us adults about properly raising kids for our evening services. We spent the next two days swimming, eating, fishing, and relaxing...probably in that order. It was a great time! I plan to post pictures on our beesonfamily.org website. Everyone went home Tuesday night except Dad, Mom, Emma, me and my 2 boys. We went to ride go-carts and play putt-putt on Wednesday with lunch at McDonald's before heading home for afternoon naps and evening services back at Wilson Creek.

We were home for a few days before Labor Day. We dug holes for a privacy fence to connect on one side of our house to the neighbor's fence. I don't know how much help I was but the boys sure had fun playing in the holes after they were dug, especially when we put water in the holes. They were both muddy messes but grinning from ear to ear.

Chris went back to work for the remainder of that week but took off early on Friday, Sept. 5 and the family headed to KC. My most wonderfulest sister-in-law helped me pack for vacation and I actually didn't forget anything. We ate dinner with some very fun friends, the Swearengins and hung out in the back yard for a while before heading to our hotel near the airport. Saturday morning we flew out to California. We had a great time. I will be posting a link on my beesonfamily.org website that has pictures and kind of a "what we did" with highlights. You can check it out if you are interested. Hopefully, I'll be able to get to it tonight or tomorrow. It will require help from the computer nerd in the house, so if I can actually remember to ask for help, he'll gladly do it.

We've just now been home 3 days and I haven't caught up on sleep, yet. We went non-stop and the time change also has got me messed up. I do like being home in my own bed with my own pillows, though. Routine for the day is also nice because the children do so much better.

I'm looking forward to going to our church tonight. Out-of-town churches are nice because at least you have somewhere to go but nothing is like your church at home. Your kids are more comfortable and it makes things so much easier.

I joined facebook this week because of a little peer pressure. I don't know how that will go. I'm still learning how to get around and not succeeding at some of the things I've tried to add. I also don't know how it will be having another place to post stuff, but it will be a great place to keep in touch with some friends from around the world. I do enjoy reading posts from the missionaries serving on the field that I have only met once or twice.

So, for now! That's what I have!
