yeah, what.

today has been amazing.  timmy took the day off.  we went to fort madison, another town along the river, about twenty minutes away.   we ate at bennigan's, its like applebees.  i've never seen one before.  it was good.  they had black bean burger patties-- i always appreciate the vegetarian option-- so that was exciting.  fort madison has a really nice park next to the river so we took a blanket to lay down and read because the weather outside is amazing today.  there was a creepy man who we're pretty sure was high, swinging and talking to himself, but other than that, it was really nice.  we watched three trains go by and just relaxed and talked in the sunshine.  

after that, we went to this thrift store in ft. madison's downtown.  i got a shirt.  then we walked down town to this bakery called "the ivy."  its apparently won national awards and stuff.  we ate chocolate mint cake.  but i couldn't finish mine because it was too rich.

i've been missin timmy.  everything has been so busy.  whenever we get home at night, its usually just debrief time.  but i felt like we really got to hang out today.  im sad that i didn't take my camera.  it was such an amazing day.

....

high school youth group went amazing on sunday night.  it was just a huge answer to prayer!  timmy and i were so thankful for everyone's participation and all the kids who came out to help before hand, getting the room set up and everything.  i loved timmy's talk.  he just talked about how God wants us.  how, if we're far away, we can come back.  such a good reminder of God's love!

....

im looking forward to meeting with the jr. high again this week.  we have a ton of jr.high girls.  they out number the boys like 4-1.  

....

timmy started a group on facebook called, "timmy's book blitz bonanza." and we're all trying to read a book a week for 7 weeks.  i love it.  

....

one of my friends from joplin started this on myspace, www.myspace.com/lifeyourlifeworldwide  i love what it stands for.  nicely done, kristen day.

....

i think that's all ive got for today.  nothing coherent.  but that's just the way it goes sometimes, i guess.
