Derk came home Thursday night in time to eat and go to bed. It was late and we had a big busy day ahead of us. Saturday morning began with getting everyone ready to head to Regina, taking the twins and Derikkah with us and leaving an hour earlier than the kids to get to Derk's interview in Yorkton. HE thought it was 11:30 even though I'd said every time 10:30 and even texted it to him which he later found and said I was right and he was wrong. So he was putzing around and finally I said come on we're going to be late and he got the message and drove like Jehu all the way. Afterwards we met up with the kids at Micky D's and had lunch then hit the hwy for Regina where we met up with Kyla-Dawn and later on, Betty. Then after a bunch of errands and running all over Regina, we made it to church to get in on the final session of three taught by Bro. S. Pixler on tithing. Wow! He's a great speaker, pianist, singer and what he had to say made sense. Too bad more people don't talk about everyday life and equate it to biblical principles like he did. We were very impressed and got cds of the previous sessions to listen to at home later.
Back home by 2am and we fall into bed exhausted only to get up for two servies with an hour drive between them the next day. Unbeknownst to darlin hubbykins... there was a LOT more to that day than he imagined. First of all it was his 49th bday and we'd planed for Kyla-Dawn and his mom to come up to Yorkton church to surprise him and then there was a surprise dinner after church in his honor. It was great and we had a great time in the lord and fellowship afterwards as well. Then we all headed the hour home. Half way there, we hit a deer who saw us and turned to run back but slid down my side of the car looking in at me the entire time. The kids driving behind us said she ran away so hope shes ok.
Home again, we visited, took Betty to Val's to stay the night and then went to bed ourselves. Monday morning found us making a big turkeydiner and then betty and Val came over. We visited, ate, visited some more and then once we were all talked out and I'd helped Kyla-Dawn with an assignment.... they all left. Kyla-Dawn and Betty to return to Regina, Derk and Michael to go to Morris. It was a long lonely night for me waiting to hear each group had gotten safely to their destination meaning I got to sleep at 2am!
This week is general conference and we are watching online. Derk and Mike are coming back this afternoon.
