Day 89

Sorry for the lost days. I was on the far side of the moon.

Little recap of how the trip to the DR ended:
FRIDAY: went to resort
SATURDAY: enjoyed resort
SUNDAY: went to Hotel Lina in Santo Domingo
MONDAY: flew home

Got to Wichita at 10:30 pm. Wasn't sure we'd get out of Atlanta. The weather had been stormy and a bunch of flights were cancelled. We left a 1/2 hour late and got in a 1/2 hour ahead of schedule. Not sure how that works, but we were home.

TUESDAY: Our anniversary! Sal and I have been married for 19 years. We got married in Huron, SD. We drove to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole for our honeymoon. Lived in Huron 2 years while Sal finished up teaching degree and I was part time youth pastor and part time construction. Went to Alaska for 8 years. Had Cass in '95 while living in Juneau and Carson in '98 while living in Ketchikan. Spent a year in Huron before transitioning to Hesston. September 1 will be 8 years in Hesston. This is the longest anyone has put up with us as a married couple. :) For supper we went to Sal's favorite, On The Border. We always get the same thing, chicken fajitas. We share. The food is awesome. The check is cheap ($15). We're both happy.

Then walked around Bradley Fair. Hit Banana Republic, GAP and Eddie Bauer. Found a shirt, some Teva flip flops on mega discount and 75% off women's jeans. I would have been losing money not to buy them for her!

WEDNESDAY: Kyle and I continued our quest to finish the garage. Got siding on 1 1/2 sides. Should be able to knock out the rest tomorrow. After that there is just pouring the ramp and then the pad in the back. Yeah, there's also the painting and the work bench. Guess I'll have to do those on my own time.

Tonight mom and dad are coming over for supper. Chicken Taco Casserole. My fav. My stomach has been wiggly so probably won't eat much.
