Sunday

Our RE year began with a carnival/meet and greet teacher time. The kids enjoyed themselves. Jared and Arielle helped out.

Then service.....good....bordering on better than good. ::snort:: Nolan and Zander decided to sit on the front row....I didn't think this was a great plan, but the chance to sit by Mike seemed good. I ended up taking Stacia out when she pulled a WHISTLE out of her treat bag from the carnival. Oy vey! ::snort::

We had lunch with one of my new favorite Sgts. Sgt. S's family is from the Philippines. He told Mike and Jared about a deep sea fishing trip next Saturday. They hope to go.

Mike got called out of the Gospel service on a duty call. It's been raining. I'm fighting a UTI - but have cranberry tablets and lots of water on hand. Debbie, from GAFB, told me to drink some strange concoction to cure them but I can't remember what it IS....maybe vinegar?

I'm praying about going to Hawaii for PWOC's Regional conference. I WANT to be there. Mike encourages me to go...but no one else is going from here. It's $1800 on cheaptickets to fly from here to Waikiki....I'm not sure how fun a conference is if you attend alone....and we'll be moving into our home in October...do I really want to fly out the 22nd? I'm not sure - I'm praying that I'll figure this out soon. I thought the deadline to make up my mind was tomorrow but its the 18th. LOL I'm going to look into taking a hop out to Tokyo and flying from THERE to Hawaii.

I'm determined to get over my American phobias and go to an Onsen this week. Deb at chapel invited me. I told her I might not be able to come back to chapel afterwards...but I was game. ::snort:: Twyla's going too - Twyla, I'll email - but Jared said yes. I told him I needed him to watch the boys so we could go take a bath together. ::snort:: ::gasp::

Here's a photo of the new game...Finger Football....they're enjoying it and learning about football...wonder if this means Mike will have football buddies soon?

Dorothy, I got an email from Windy and they'll be pulling up at lodging tomorrow night. I can't wait to meet this family. We're trying to decide the proper greeting for a family who you don't really know, but is going to be your neighbor, and feels like friends already. ::snort:: I suppose confetti and a band is a bit over the top?

Choosing Joy!

I think confetti would be great fun and Stacia could play her whistle

Renee said...

Since you are overseas, could you take a Space-A flight from Japan to Hawaii????

I definitely think you should go to the Hawaii conference....where the new Asia Region board will be selected and installed....and should you need any other words of affirmation in that direction....well, you know where to find me. Praying you on, my friend. I personally think it'd be a perfect match.....but no pressure. {hugs}

Oh Mel....my secret is out. ::snort:: Yes, I did throw my hat into the selection ring....Melissa did say they could interview by phone...but yes...if I KNEW I was going to be selected I would really WANT to be there even MORE....and Mike is encouraging me to go.... Hey are YOU going to be in Hawaii?

I would LOVE to attend the Hawaii conference....I just don't see it happening. Brenda will be there, plus Nancy and Rhonda (PWOCI Board) so I don't really think I'm needed (which means they won't pay for it...). I am sending iDVD commercials, though, and I'd love your feedback. If you need ANYthing, please let me know.

You're going to a bath??? Sounds interesting. You'd love Hawaii. Did you get my long email reply last week?

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

LOL I was sure I responded to it Cindy - not sure where that email went. LOL

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

LOL well you know, Mel, at this point I NEED an inspiring PWOC commericial to air on AFN because they are driving me BATTY. ::snort::

Romany said...

ROTFLOL!

Windy and DeEtta....I still can't get over it!

Windy is very tidy! Don't mess up her rooms with confetti! The band she'd love. {g}

Praying for good friendships for you all. And smooth movings in to the new homes.

Renee said...

AFN commercials (or rather public service announcements) are the worst - stop,drop and roll.... don't touch, leave the area, tell an adult....

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Well...Renee...we ARE learning a lot of information we wouldn't otherwise have known. LOL
