Eleven on Wednesday

1. One of my best friends Heather took out her endowments on Wednesday. I had gone to Frank's office during the day to help him with some work. I was planning on leaving around 5pm to go home and get ready. Sarah's friend slept over and they went to Young Woman's together. They did a bike scavenger hunt and nearly died being in the heat.

2. I had to leave the baby with Frank since I didn't have a babysitter. He asked me to stay for 20 more minutes so he could do an interview. To my surprise it took 40 minutes and I was running terribly late to the temple. I barely had time to even stop by the house. Sarah met me outside with my temple bag and a black skirt. I didn't even have time to eat anything.

3. I bolted out of there and rushed down the highway. I managed to make it to the temple 10 minutes before the 7 o'clock session. I quickly changed into my skirt and ran inside. I asked them to hold on so that I could get dressed and make it into the session. I had just barely made it before they started. I was very embarrassed and fustrated.

4. On Thursday I took the kids swimming and I tried taking Savannah in the water with me. She didn't like the cold water so we just hung out by the pool and visited with a neighbor whom I met who is around my age. That evening my husband came home late from work and we packed up the house and left for Nauvoo. We arrived around 4am. My friend had rented a small house that was built in the 1800's. Frank and I had to share a twin bed. That was not fun!

5. We attended the marriage and that was beautiful. The bride took a long time to come out and everyone was dying in the heat. Once she arrived we went and took pictures. Afterwards we went to the ring ceremony. The weather was very hot and we were all dying from the heat and humidty. The ceremony was held outside in the shady woods.

6. We attended a nice dinner afterwards and than left to come back home. Frank accidently ran over a baby bunny who ran out in front of him while he was driving. We took 5 1/2 hours to get back home. We ran into terrible traffic when we made it back to Chicago. The construction we ran into took forever to get thru. They only had one lane opened which ended up being a nightmare.

7. The next day we attended the wedding reception in the stake center. The food was delicious and we had a great time dancing. The guys went out and decorated the newlyweds car. The baby was having a hard time falling alseep so Frank took her back home. Sarah and I stayed up late to help clean up.

8. Frankie left for scout camp and will be gone for the whole week.

9. Sarah was invited out to see a movie. Her friends from church all went to see "Transformers". She seemed to like the movie although she told me there was too much swearing.

10. We invited the Zimmerman family over for dinner on Sunday evening.

11. Sarah and I went to my playdate with Savannah. It's always good to get together with friends and eat good food.
