Well, the last couple days have been great. I'll start right where I left off on my last blog. Thursday was a pretty typical day at work. It did seem like all the customers were out to get us that day though, it seemed like every other customer had a complaint or tried to fight "Policy" or something of that sort. But we finally got through it without any real problems. That evening after work I headed back over to the Donneburg's House for dinner and to meet Allie's Friend. I hung out there with them for awhile until her friend had to head back home to Danville. She had to leave a little earlier then she wanted to though because it was starting to Ice up a little outside. So after she left, I only stayed for like another 15 minutes or so, and then I was off to the Hartman's house for the rest of the night. I sure had a lot of fun there. When I first got there the littlest boy, Dennis, was really excited to see me. Then the rest of them all came up and they terrorized me for a little bit. It sure was fun. After the short playtime I had to calm them all down because they all needed to get ready for bed. They all wanted me to read them a bedtime story. That sounded like a good idea to me, so I folded out the Hideabed and all 5 of the kids crawled up on the bed and a couple sat on my lap while the rest of them just snuggled up next to me. It turns out the book they pick is one of the longest they have. But I'm up for it anyway and so I read to them. It ended up being about a 45 minute to an hour read. (It was a pretty good story however and I was even interested in it). After I read they took turns showering and brushing teeth ect. While they did that I just read another small short story to Dennis and the kids just came and went as they were getting ready. Finally after they were all PJ'ed up we all got together with the parents and said our prayers for the night. Then off to bed they all went. Dennis wanted to sleep in my bed with me though, so I said he could. He sure is a snuggler though, he would get really close to me and touch my face and things before he finally fell asleep. He kept me nice and warm, thats for sure. Then the next morning it turns out there was 2 inches of snow on the ground, the kids were all excited about that. All the schools in town were closed. But they are all homeschooled and they were going to have to still "do classes" They just wanted to play in the snow though.. of course. But first things first, we all ate a hearty breakfast, (Bacon, Eggs, Biscuts w/homemade jam) it sure was good. I kind of had to hurry out shortly after breakfast though so I could get to work in the snow and still be on time. But I had a lot of fun at their house that night. I did get to work on time also so that was a plus. =). That day at work was much better then the day before and it was a relief. Andy even decided he wanted to close up 10 minutes early that day just becuase he felt like it. Of course none of us argued. I ended up hanging around for awhile afterwards though to watch a couple episodes of smallville. Then at around 7:30 I headed over to the Miller's house where I was going to stay the night for that evening. Thier dog loves me over there and he was as happy as ever to see me. I played with their dog for awhile once I got there and then once he calmed down, Vicky and I played a computer game against each other (one they got for christmas) while Mark made a phone call. IT seemed like a pretty good game too and it was pretty fun, I forget what it was called though. I never played or heard of it before. After Mark got off the phone we then watched "A walk to Remember" Its one of the gifts I got for christmas. The Miller's had never seen it before and I highly recommended it. So thats what we ended up watching. They got all teared up, and then "yelled" at me in the end for not warning them it was a sad movie. (insert sly laugh here). But once that was over it was pretty late so we all got ready for bed. I took the dog out for his before bed walk that night too. He sure liked playing in the snow. After getting back in he calmed down slowly and then we were all off to bed. There was a nice electric blanket on my bed that I slept in, it sure was great on a snowy night. (They're all about the heated blankets at thier house). Then once it hit 9:00 I was up and out of bed and ready for the day.. mostly because I was awaken by cold nose on the face from an excited dog. That is a great feeling though, I'm quite fond of it. As I came down stairs there was the aroma of breakfast cooking. While it cooked Mark asked me if I could help him move a couple boxes to the atic for him. So we made the trip with some of the boxes moving from the basement to the atic. It sure was tiring after 3 flights of steps for every single box. But anyway we ended up getting most of them up by the time breakfast was ready. We were running a little late though, so I kind of had to hurry through breakfast and the rush off to work. I made it only two minutes late, I don't think they noticed though. By now if you haven't noticed this has turned into a run on pharagraph. But sometimes you just gotta deal with it.. so DEAL WITH IT... moving on. Today at work was just another relaxing day, we've finally caught up from the after christmas rush, so we were able to slow down and take a couple break through the day. It was nice. Once we closed up at work I decided I would take the next couple hours and move some of my things back into the dorms at liberty. They opened them up for the new students on friday. I'm not a new student but I could at least move stuff in. So I just wanted to get that out of the way.. I can't sleep there until monday night though since I"m a returning student. So I loaded up my van with the goods I would take back to the dorm, then on the way to campus I stopped by the Donneburg's house to say a quick "hey" I missed them from not being there for two days.. I kind of got used to having them around. I only stayed for about 30 minutes though because I was had to still get to campuse and drop the stuff on and I was going to go to Scott's house for dinner tonight as welland have Lasagna. After getting to campus It had everything unloaded in a couple trips. Then I got a call from Scott saying that he was still in Roanoke (he made a trip out right after work) and It was already 5:30. So he just asked if they wanted to post pone until monday. I was fine with that so, instead of going there for dinner, I just decided to hang around the dorm for a bit longer and just organize everything that I brought in. I also hooked up my computers again so now my webcams are working once again. After everything was organized to my satisfaction, I just went ahead and went over to the Donneburg's house for my last night with them (so sad). After arriving, I just had some left overs from thier dinner they had since I didn't end up going over to Scott's house that night. Then after supper, I helped the girls get some firewood from the back yard and bring it up to the porch. Then the rest of the night we just chilled in the basement and watch a couple movies. I also did laundry here and there between breaks. The first movie we watched was "The Wedding Planner" and then after that we watched "Somewhere in Time" It ended up being around 11:30 and the second movie wasn't over yet, thier mom wanted us to just head to bed and watch the rest of it later. But, Britt was waiting to curl her hair and I was still finishing up laundry, so we ended up staying up until around 1:00 watching the movie while Britt finished her hair. It was fun though, just hanging with the girls for the evening. I sure am tired now though. Its 2:00 now and I have to wake up early for church in the morning. I have to be their at 8:00am. It was worth staying up late though, it was fun. Well, that pretty much covers it.. I know that was probably a long and boring read.. but it looks like you endured it all! Congratulations. Now tomorrow I won't be able to blog again because I'll be at the Harmans, but come monday I'll be back on campus I think so I should be able to fill you in then. Until them have a wonderful Night!
