Curtains

Look at the cute new curtains in my office at work! I bought the fabric at IKEA a while ago and my wonderful mother-in-law made the for me! :)

Chipotle Induced Mayhem

So this seems to be the season for crazy storms.  We were up in Wichita for dentist appointments on Thursday, and stayed around to eat and run a few errands.  As we were shopping in Target, a panicked voice came over the intercom informing shoppers that we were in a tornado warning, and that we could either leave or go to the shelter in the offices.  Zach would have rather left, but I convinced him to go to the shelter.  Growing up in Kansas I am used to storms, but tornadoes still make me nervous!  They cleared the warning for our area pretty quickly, and we were able to finish up our shopping.  It was POURING by the time we were ready to leave...and we made a mad dash to the car.  Zach had been counting on taking Chipotle home for lunch tomorrow....that boy would take home a party platter and eat it everyday for the next week if I let him.  So we drove...in the pouring rain...back down Maize to get Chipotle.  Then the hail started.  And kept going.  And now my car has little dings all over it.  We finally got out of most of the weather and pulled over in Clonmel to watch the clouds.  There was definite rotation in the clouds, but no touchdown.  Thankfully no hail on the wheat in Harper! :)   

Movies, Music, and Friends

It was such a weird work week last week.  I was only in the office one day, as Monday was a holiday, I had a Family Planning conference in Wichita Tuesday and Wednesday, and a Child Care Licensing meeting in Wichita on Friday.  A lot of driving back and forth, but they were all interesting meetings, and sent me back to work a-thinkin! I got out early on Friday, and went to spend a little time with Carrie and Zoe.  It was so nice to chat with my sister and play with my neice!  Zach came up to meet me after work and we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean in 3D IMAX.   We enjoyed the movie, and then went to On The Border to eat.  

Saturday Zach worked on our backyard fence, while I worked inside the house.  He made some good progress, even though it was pretty hot outside already.  In the evening we went over to our friends, Drew and Annie's house for supper.  Daniel Penner and a new intern at Harper Industries, who just arrived from France joined us.  We had a game of bocce ball after supper-I am terrible, but its still fun!  The boys just throw too far! haha

Sunday after church we headed back up to Wichita to run some errands, see another movie (Zach has been feeling deprived lately, lol), and then went to RiverFest to watch Little Big Town in concert.  It was a great concert, and fun to just be outside enjoying the summertime.
