Looks like I am going to miss it. Not gonna stick around work just to watch.

 

[ChrizJen]

I may have to miss it too. I'd hoped to at least see a little before I left for home. But I have a long commute home. So I'll likely miss it too.

 

[ChrizJen]

UGH! Another freightliner. *SIGH*

I did not get to see anything except the first few ones. Thanks Jrsy for posting your pictures. Work was nuts after 12. I did not get a lunch or a break all day. Went to work at 7 and left at 5:26.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Jrsy! You are the best. I wish I could have seen them live. I just got home from work. It was a crazy day! When I left I had to go pick up Rachel from PT, drop her off at home and then go pick up Jake from Tae Kwon Do. We just got back and he is eating dinner now. I am not very hungry.

Sandy, are you busy Thursday? Do you want to go to lunch?

You guys know I work at a High School. Well our Friday night football game was a huge game. We were playing Page which is #1 in the state and we are #6.

One of our players had a terrible accident that resulted in his death when a Page player hit him. Please read the article. Pray for his family and the poor boy that hit Matt. Matt's sister is my page in my office. http://www.wxii12.com/news/17272724/detail.html

Our school is in shock. Tomorrow is the student's first day.

Selena, so sorry to hear about this. That has got to be tough for everyone involved.

It has been so hard. Everyone is emotional. Yesterday we had a rainbow over the school, actually a double one and we all felt this was a good sign.

 

[Jsme]

Our school is a historical landmark..this is one of our buildings. We have 6 buildings on various streets that is part of our High School.

This is not the best of the pictures but it is the only one in which you can see the double rainbow.

OMG Selena, that is a cool picture. Bet that rainbow meant something!!

Crisit, sorry, Thursday won't work. I am packing that day for a two week vacation at the campground. You know, laundry, shopping, packing etc. Thanks though!

More from Heidi:

Panama Canal was so awesome. Last night when we were going through the Gatun Locks it was raining but it was so beautiful outside. The jungle had fog lifting just over the trees and the skyline was orange...so cool. oo bad the camera battery died before I could get a picture of it!!!! A storm caught up to us and we were surrounded by fog and you couldn't see anything but the ocean below you.....so cool!!!!!!

We made it to Colombia, it is an Industrial port so not all that beautiful but it is still cool looking!!! The people had a show for us so we were up on deck 4 watching it. It is cloudy and just got done raining and WAY HUMID!!!!! It is hot to me but when you are sitting down with the cool ocean breeze, it is just perfect

No problem Sandy. Have fun on your trip. I actually ended up having to go in to work today, so I should spend Thursday cleaning house and stuff anyway. Maybe after your trip we can get together.

I live 20 minutes from work and I park in my garage. When I pulled out of my garage I saw the rainbow instantly.

I have to say if it is possible to have two thoughts at one time my thought was of my children and of Matt. I felt that for my kids it was a good omen. And as I drove to work the rainbow was my companion. I saw it the whole way to work. Please remember my area has not had rain or any moisture for over a month and all of a sudden we had enough moisture in the air to create a rainbow. As I drove up the hill to work the rainbow was over the school and it was amazing. I felt God's hand so clearly and I felt his promise that it will be alright.

I know we are to think of the rainbow's promise that the world will not end by flooding but I beleive Monday it was a promise much more than that.

Sandy I am so loving your sharing of Heidi's emails.

Okay I am maybe just a little insane. But, you only live once right?

You know, my favorite band Lifehouse. I met a bunch of the fans at the Houston concert and now I have a whole bunch of fan sites on my myspace. I guess we are the fan club. Anyway, I get a message from one of the girls that said she saw I just got back from Vegas and was I going back for the Lifehouse concert. So, I just start digging a bit. Lifehouse is playing at the annual bite of las vegas, it's an all day and night food & music festival and the tickets last year were only $8 a piece. They haven't finished updating this years, but Lifehouse has on their site that they will be there. Well it's right around Aerial's birthday in Oct. so I asked her if she would like to go for her birthday. She said it sounds cool. So, I called her best friend yesterday and she told me all about school then i said, hey guess what Lifehouse is going to Vegas the weekend of Aerial's birthday. Well she really didn't take me seriously, but I was like ask your mom if you can go if we go. So, last night her Mom calls me and we talk for a while and she's like what is this about Vegas. Anyway, she said she could go with us. So, then I start texting Deb who I went to Vegas with and was talking to her, and I said of course I will bring them to Roxy's Diner and she says not without me. So, I say come with us then. So now she is looking into if she can afford it. I think I am about 75% sure I am going to go. Am I insane? It won't put me on welfare but it will be the last big thing I can spend money on this year. Good thing tax season and overtime is coming. I did get a nice raise this year between work and child support doubling. I don't plan on making any new bills, so, I think I can afford it, I just feel a little insane going back so soon. Opinions???
