The mountains I can't climb.

Day: Won

So I was thinking about it today and I don't think that our family has ever been on a road trip that wasn't focused on the destination. This trip has been preeetty cool... yesterday we left around 9 in the mornin' and met up with Chris and his gang on the way. We Loaded up in the rental Jeep Commander and started to make our journey to Grand Rapids. The trip wasn't too bad... it was a lot of fun driving with our family... I slept a lot but I was awake for much of it... after a few stops to re-beef jerky and such, we made it to our Ramada. We found out when we got here that the awesome pool/ waterpark thing was not only included with our rooms, BUT we have poolside rooms so thats pretty wicked. Anyways last night we just hung out with the family, and went in a pool for a while. The pool is sweet, the room is all painted like a beach and there are palmtree things everywhere. There is an arcade and pool tables and pingpong and such and then the water is uber hot (which is great, I hate cold pool water) and there is a schweet hot-tub. And the slide is pretty sweet too./ Anyways last night we just did that then went into town and walked around. it was so nice... the place was called Gas Lamp Village or something... sooo nice..

Day: Too


Today woke up nicely with my family all having fun in the room... we all went to a nice breakfast then hopped in the pool for a while. Chris and Stacy informed us that they were going to mackinaw island so we were gonna hang out with the girls. Oh and the picture is Claires hair yesterday, shes soo funny. Haha... anyways the rest of the day we just relaxed and I got to swim and read and enjoy a vacationous day. For lunch we ordered Pizza whilst I watched the office... then we planned for Hannah from pcc to come visit us... I told her we were going to be near her house so she came and joined us for dinner. The family seemed to love her... I forgot how awesome she is. It has been a while since I was able to hang out with a PCCite. We went to this Mongolian Barbecue which was aaawwweesoome! maybe we will go later... then stephen and I hung out with hannah around Gas Lamp Village again... so cool. Things have been great.... I miss vacations... its so nice to get away from.

Well maybe I'll go play pingpong with my fadder.

to all a goodnite

Knifin' around...

[anyways]

Wow. This morning was a great morning. I woke up around 7 when chris came into my room and did something... I don't remember what he did but he woke me up. So I rolled around in the bed for maybe 45 minutes then finally decided to make my way into the shower. I read my bible which hasn't been as good lately... I have been spending less and less time... grr. I need to get on that. I wanted to do that whole week of prayer thing that I came up with... ya know... something to the effect of praying around an hour or so a day... it seems to be harder than I thought... anyways so that was cool...

Then I made it down to the living room and it was only 8:45 or so... so I figured I should spread some menus 'round town. I headed towards Hermitage and stopped at a few places... (by the way I think I am loving the Neon now... its hard to drive a stick at some times but I am getting the hang of and its quite fun now)... and decided to make my way over to Dunkin Donuts. I think the main reason I went is that Pete always raved about how good the coffee was there... I got some. It was good... nothing too special but it was enjoyable... I got a bagel (that I just finished) that was very good and some chocolate milk. That was fun... just sitting there enjoying the morning. I neeeeed to become a morning person! I looove the morning. Then I came back to Jones' and the weirdest/dumbest thing happened.

After getting the soft serve and everything straightened out, I decided to put the new milk bag in the dispenser- only to see that milk was dripping. Weird. So I scanned the bag looking for a hole... and I didnt really find a hole per say but it was some sort of ripped opening... so I tried to tape it up using some sort of masking tape... that was a bust. So I spent a while trying to get up Chris' drive (the gate was being annoying) and once I grabbed some duct tape I was ready to head back down... I spent... probably close to 30 minutes trying to tape that stupid thing... time and time again I would tape it like crazy and then once I sat it up, It would some how leak. I don't get it still... anyways I finally decided to take all the tape off and start over (again) - which only made more holes and actually it made things a lot worse. So, ready to plunge my fists into the wall, I called Turner's and they said they would be bringing more soon.

It amazes me how a little hole can really give me a big headache.
