The Countdown is finally DONE!!


~Salem~
Okay, while some of you might have just felt a twinge of excitement, possibly thinking, "Awesome, they have finally gotten their referral!!" Well, not so much, but another countdown is done. I'll explain...

As Scott, Elijah, and I were sitting this morning at the table, eating our breakfast...after we ALL slept in until 9:30AM... I started to think out loud (which I do often).
"This is the first Saturday we have had
'nothing' to do in quite a long while..."
So that made my anal self pull down the 'ol calendar and we started to count back Saturdays... Let's just say it started to get depressing. We counted back as far as April 12Th!! That's like 19 weeks people!!! That was the last Saturday that we had "nothing", no family visiting (take no offense-we love you), no 7:30am-1:00pm days devoted to soccer games, no traveling home from youth activities, no traveling...etc. You get the picture.
So what did we do on our "nothing to do" day? Well, cleaning the house is ALWAYS fun. Scott also did some trim work around the house. Its amazing when you have nothing to do and you think, "relaxation here we come", and then before you know it the day is done. Aaw well, we did end this momentous occasion by getting a treat at Dairy Queen this evening. (you know its been a busy summer when the last time we were there was when my sis had her baby on May 4Th!!!)
Anywho, here's too fall and the leaves changing and hopefully a lot of scrapbooking pages to be done!!

I totally feel your pain. Technically speaking we haven't had a Saturday off for almost ten years now. Saturday night services suck! (For us...not the marvelous people who attend them. :) Someday we'll have our days back, but for now we'll just view your days off with jealous eyes! Anyway, I hope you have more enjoyable Saturdays like that.
