It's all me...
I have had a busy couple of days... That's my excuse for not writing this time.
Wednesday afternoon my mom, sisters and I headed to Grand Rapids for Olivia's flight back out to California.
(We took this picture in the car. Lacey's in the front seat taking the picture, and we're in the back... Pretty talented dontcha think? Notice my 'pretty' cold sore scab... I mean, try not to. Also, I had a hair appointment the other night... New highlights and BANGS! Who knew!?).
Olivia was here about 3 weeks, so it was time for her to get back to her life out there, even though it didn't feel quite long enough for me. I guess that's to be expected when you're seeing a loved one after many months... Nothing is long enough.
We drove down, had a nice dinner and went back to the hotel to prepare for the next morning. Olivia got up around 4 am to get ready, and I rolled out of bed at 5, to throw clothes on and my hair into a ponytail to leave at 5:15. Classy. (Warning: Grossly honest and honestly gross admission coming... I didn't even brush my teeth, I just chewed gum instead).
She got checked in and her flight left at 6:30 am. We went back to the hotel, slept for a couple more hours and then got ready in time to check-out. We spent the next 8 hours exchanging Christmas gifts for things we actually wanted and blowing more cash than we planned on. It was delightful.
Tired and happy we got home around 9 pm.
Today I lunched with everyone from work (I haven't seen them in a couple of days and seem to be having withdrawals...), hung out with my sister and Ella (who is pictured here after eating a blue sucker), and then headed home.
(Side note about Ella's sucker... Her daddy prefers that she have sugar-free, but she's figured out how to get one when she wants it. The other day they went to the store and he had already told her they weren't going to have one. As he was getting her out of the car seat she said 'I love you Daddy...' Let's just say the kid got some sugar that day... Now WHO'S the sucker?!)
I got some interesting tour info today. The manager that I've been talking to in Nashville has been sending info my way as he gets it... Which isn't often. Because ZOEgirl is a guest on another group's tour, they aren't in the planning, so details are few and far between. What I DID find out today is that the ZOE staff consists of the 3 girls in the group, and ME. That's all. Guess who's going to be VERY busy come next week!? I can feel the nerves tightening... All prayers for strength and the ability to quickly learn-while-doing are appreciated!
4 days and counting...
