Well, we are past the halfway point with the kids on their Jamaican mission trip. Facebook posts from their youth pastor indicate they are working hard during the day and playing hard in the evening and having a wonderful time. I've had my "emotional" moments of missing them, but it definitely makes it easier to see the pictures and hear what they have been up to on any particular day.
I haven't quite been as productive as I would have liked to this point, but I guess that's okay. I've cooked a few meals with enough leftovers to last several days, so I haven't had to resort to cereal! haha I must admit it's nice to have a clean house that lasts for more than a few hours, but it is definitelly too quiet. The kids want a dog badly, and I have joked with them that I would probably get one after they left for college so I wouldn't be alone. Only now I'm thinking it isn't so much of a joke, and depending on how my finances look in the next year or so, it may happen before then, but shhh! Don't tell the kids! haha Actually I'm looking for a "police dog flunkie." And I've found a few websites for them, too. They are dogs trained for police work - rescue, drug sniffing, etc. - but for whatever reason don't quite pass muster. They are fully trained in a foreign language, housebroke and excellent guard dogs and pets, everything I'm looking for in a dog. But that's for another post. :-)
Anyhow, I'm anxious to meet the kids at the airport Saturday afternoon and hug them and hear all their stories and see the pictures they took. I have a feeling I will have 2 different kids from the ones I sent off last week.
