A Whirlwind of Activity

Things have been good an busy here. I am mentally getting ready for the GEMS conference. I am a little intimidated that I am leading a group of nine women though the theme badge.. so that is a little crazy. But I think it will be ok, It is about Prayer... so I should get on that. haha
We sold our camera on Kijiji recently. I never liked how it worked and Matt originally got it so that he could learn how to use all the settings of the camera and upgrade to a DSLR in a few years. Well he upgraded early and when I suggested that I wanted to take it to convention because I don't like the pictures the Sony takes he immediately started shopping for another one for me. He said it was my anniversary present. I'm so cool with that as long as we still do something special. Anyway... The lady who bought it was quite hilarious, she came with her two kids and I could hear them in the stairway,
"Is there rats down there"
"Come on kids, Hurry up" Says the Mom.
They all pile into the kitchen. And the both kids eyes get really big.
"WOW! This is amazing, It's so neat and clean in here". At this point I was thinking... someone actually appreciates that I cleaned up!
'YOU EVEN HAVE A TV???" I said, "Yep, I know, crazy huh?"
"Well, we have Three TV's" pipes up the little girl.
Matt is trying to describe to the lady how the camera works, while her kids are roaming through the apratment telling us how her kids come from Hell.
Then they found their mother's keys with a light on it and look under my stairs and tell me I should start cleaning up under there.
It was funny.
But I need to get to work here.
Love ya all!
Amanda

Congrats on selling the camera so quickly. Funny story about the kids and the mom.
Funny how your new camera came so quickly after you asked Matt for the new one, lol.
Never hurts to have a clean apprtement, does it?
Have a great week, love, DAD.

At least you got a camera out of that, even with its own tripod.
Have a great week,
Love MOM

Sweet!

The nerve of some people's kids eh?
:)

You'll do great leading the badge! It's really no different than MC'ing...you just have to be really prepared, decide what you are going to say and then just review it a few times. Piece of cake!

Love ya, TT

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to the pertinent answer.
