Day One Hundred Seventy Seven

Up kinda early today.  I squeezed in my 3 miles today.  Really wanted to get that over and done with.  Afterwards, I cleaned up and headed to the church for another long day of decorating.  Lees met me at the church.  She had to go to class this morning so before she left, we had some leftovers from the food from last night.  Sandwiches!  It was pretty good.  There was lots left so we had that.  Afterwards, she left for school.  I sat there and finished my food, then I headed into the sanctuary and started decorating. 


There is so much left to do.  Lisa has a good vision of what she wants.  All those balloons pastor blew up, they're all still on the floor.  Lees knows what she wants to do with all that and I'm guessing it's to tie them together and hang them from the ceiling, which will look amazing!  All the members came back to the church this evening.  We were supposed to have Wednesday night service, but because we had so much decorating left to do, Pastor cancelled it and decided we need to get everything done.  My mom bought Little Cesars Pizza tonight and everyone who showed up had a great meal.  I was so busy thought, I only had a couple slices.  Everyone was calling me in different directions again.  They all wanted to know exactly how to do things.  I had no problem with that though.  It's my job.  We go just about everything done, including the photo area.  That place was fun to build because we had to redo it a couple times lol.  Pastor decorated that area and put spiderwebs all over the wall and put a million staples in there.  We were all confused trying to fix it hahaha.  All in all, everyone had a great time! 


Tomorrow, my grandpa is going to be there early and we're going to build the face painting booth that my mom and dad are going to be running.  That and we're going to work on the obstacle course out in the back yard of the church.  Lees and I got that perfectly planned out and now all we got to do is get it set up.  That's going to be fun!  Lisa is off tomorrow, Friday and Saturday so we're going to have a full day of decorating tomorrow and hopefully finish everything up because Friday is the day of the ball and we don't want to be at church all that day decorating, which is how it's been the past few years.  It's very different this year, though.  We have so much help and our new Pastor is so enthusiastic and helpful.  It's just a real blessing to have him there.


Before we got to the decorating, I got all our members into the sanctuary and I ran everyone thru all the games and contests we're going to be having.  I sat everyone down and explained what we're doing and who was all going to be running what.  Everyone got the idea and now they know what all is goin down that night.  I've gotta mention, there were these really annoying kids who showed up at the church tonight.  One was a boy, he must've only been about 10 years old.  He was so disruptive and very annoying.  I didn't mind him being there, but he really just got in the way.  He was a kid who lived nearby.  His little sister came by also.  Anyway tonight while I was explaining the games to everyone, he and his sister were bouncing the balloons everywhere, getting them all over the church and being loud and disruptive.  The little girl was ok, but the boy just would not listen.  That was a real test of my patience lol.  Hopefully I don't have to deal with that kid much!




Well...I am super tired and sleepy again.  I've been so wiped out the last two days.  Spent all day and evening at the church and now it's so good to be home finally.  I'm going to relax, wind down and just enjoy being home.  Tomorrow, well we're at it again ;}  Two more days!  Goodnight!
