Okay, I guess I've left you hanging long enough. Something cRaZy happened last week. (You know it's really crazy if the word
crazy is typed in both lowercase and capital letters!)
Last Tuesday I was at work on my way back from the bathroom when I saw a young lady sitting in the church office.
Hmmm, I thought,
That looks a lot like Liz, but it can't really be her since she lives in Kentucky. Liz was my roommate my senior year of college at
Morehead State. We were both on the speech team, too.
So, I walked into the office and it
was Liz!
Liz is out here getting her PhD in math and had been looking for a church. She asked a couple friends about churches, and one of her friends' friends suggested Lakeland. Liz then looked Lakeland up online where she saw my picture and that I'm the church office manager. She decided that instead of just coming on Sunday, she'd stop by and surprise me in the office.
I think I stared at her in disbelief for about a half hour while we talked.
Told you it was cRaZy.
Things are very exciting right now. Here are a few reasons why:
3. The new season of The Office begins on Thursday, and we're going to a The Office party.
Who actually buys this? It's absolutely ridiculous! Really, I'm serious and want to know who buys this! I've seen this costume in more than one edition of the magazine, so someone must be buying them!
Just me tweakin' the butcher's 'stache!
Chase is bursting with excitement!
It is mandatory to wear a Jackson t-shirt on Jackson Square if you own one.
Chase is happier now because we're getting some local flavor in both food and environment at Jaques-Imo's.
This was before we saw this rat run super fast right past us and into the street straight under the wheel of an SUV. You might be thinking Ewww, gross! but you would be wrong because it was hilarious. At least ten people said Oooohhh! at the same time and then laughed.
I'm doing my best to look emo in the cemetery, that's why this one is in black & white.
And here's a swamp. If you look closely, you won't see any gators. But we did see three in a different section of swamp as well as giant grasshoppers, huge spiders and a family from Holland.
After a delayed flight, a half hour or so on the tarmac causing a missed flight, two hours in line to get a new flight, some meal vouchers, spending the night in the Atlanta airport and actually getting to ride the plane when flying stand-by, Chase and I are in New Orleans. (All those people in line missed their flights because of delays, too. That picture was taken a little before midnight.)
