Can you believe that?
I return to my roots to spend two whole weeks and I don't even get one good ol' fashioned thunderstorm or tornado. In two weeks!! I guess statistically that isn't uncommon for July in Oklahoma but I thought maybe God could cooperate with me a little bit.
The highlights of the trip home:
1. I sang with my mom in her church choir for a truly amazing night for the International Mission Board Commissioning Service. Standing in the choir loft and singing powerful songs while watching newly called and trained missionaries and their families prepare to travel all over the world-some of them knowing they will not return-to tell of Jesus was truly indescribable.
2. I went to the zoo for the first time since we moved and although Kurtis will complain that they still haven't built a new snake house, I was very proud of my zoo!
3. Oklahoma City has an NBA team for fall!!! Us!!! Little ol' us!!! I think that is way cool! I know that you Michiganders have your pro sports out the wazoo but we have no full fledged professional sports teams. So we are proud!
4. Seeing friends I haven't seen in a long time! I can't really understand why their kids are getting so big but we are still so young. Go figure!
5. Church with family.
6. The kids giggling with their cousins.
7. My kids wanting to play card games with their 85 year old great grandmother and getting beat by her EVERYTIME!!!
8. Celebrating my grandma's 85 birthday party with her.
9. Red dirt.
10. Sonic, Johnnies, Del Rancho, Chelino's, Taco Bueno...yum
