John

so, we took John to the airport sat. around noon & just left him there with about a million other troops waiting for their plane to take them overseas. under guard. yes, there were guards outside & inside the area with machine guns & frownie faces. reminded me of europe & brazil. almost. anyway, I wanted to stay with him until he boarded the plane, but Kevin & Rachel were not into that, so I had to leave. they were my ride home. but, I sent him with some fudge & brownies, so I felt a little better. sorry to say, the fudge exploded on the way, so all of his stuff was covered in chocolate :( he's a little mad at me.
he called this am from kwait waiting for a plane to afganastan & then to his base. hurry up & wait. but he's ok & the brownies are fine. :)
we had fun while he was here. not too much since everyone was working or at school. but it was good. we watched movies, played games, went to a Mav's game (it was fun), rode bikes to and around the lake & ate a picnic lunch. my bike tire kept going flat, so every few minutes we had to stop & pump it up. after lunch, Kevin patched it & we started out again only to find that Rachel's front tire had gone flat while we ate lunch. after patching that tire, the brakes did funny things & wouldn't let the tire move, so Bex & Rach took it to the shop on the way home & we rode around the lake. it was a beautiful day & we had lots of fun. friday Kevin & John went to adventure landing (in richardson) & played golf, rode in go carts, played in the archade & hit balls in the batting cages. we showed him off at church & all the girls want to date him now. he wasn't impressed with the single's ward tho. . . but all my friends in primary are ready to fix him up, as well as the peppers in mansfield. we'll see how that goes. life is good.
spring is here & we are all fighting the allergy sickness. just enjoying the weather & looking for tornadoes. the wild flowers will be out soon. ahhh. springtime in texas.
hugs & love to all--mom :)
