Katherine Hepburn & Stop Signs!!

So, today was totally NOT supposed to be a day in the car!! But that's how it turned out! As I left the house to take Jon to preschool and Jessi to her job at the YMCA....I locked myself out of the house! So...I decided to go to Tom's office and GET the KEY! Which was okay, because Tom has been out of town for 3 weeks(no I lied! It's just been 3 days..but FEELS like 3 weeks) and I couldn't wait to see him! I was there for about an hour or so.....and took off to pick up Jon from preschool and Jessi from her job at the YMCA! I was so swimming in bliss because I got to see my man....that I forgot to get the house key!! AAAGGGGHHHH!! So,I call Tom up to whine and plead, hoping he will ride up on his White Stallion and rescue his fair maiden and let her in the house! But, instead with a smile in his voice, he says, Well, you might as well go and get Luke(WHO IS AT SCHOOL IN MINNEAPOLIS) swing by here and get the key! What a great idea! I said but didn't mean it! Forgive me God! Jon wants to go to Target and gets very upset when I say NO! He throws a fit...and I keep driving...now on my way to Minneapolis and I get off on the wrong exit!!! AAAGGGHHH! So....I take the scenic route to the Art Institute(luke's school) turning into a bus only lane at one point!! Luke gets in the car and the fun begins! Now we are on our merry way to Tom's office to finally get the key! He starts talking to Jon in Spongbob language! Then they start talking about Katherine Hepburn and talking LIKE Katherine Hepburn!! Back to Sponge bob! Jon's laughing. Luke's laughing, Jessi's laughing.....I AM NOT LAUGHING! UNTIL I realize I am at a stop SIGN waiting for it to turn GREEN!! Now I am laughing.....You know, all this to say, God plans our days, so try as we might to plan them, we might as well enjoy when they don't work out because it could very well be where God wanted us at that time!! God bless and smiling,
Susan

Saturday/Sunday....China Time


Blessing's, everyone! Just in case you are wondering.....our blog is on "China time"! So, if it says I posted on Saturday....I probably posted on Friday....are you awake? Today we have our class in the Chinese language. It is hard as it is a musical language! Getting the tones right is very important as different tones can change the meaning of a word!! Tom already dropped out and Hosanna has taken his place! HAHA! Most of the men in the class struggle.

Well, I hope this day finds you well and blessed by Jesus!
We sent this Panda Bear to Xiao Dan(Maggie) for her birthday!
