I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Mackley-Hunter Reunion

Saturday morning we got up and went to Downata Hot Springs, in Idaho, to the Mackley/Hunter reunion. When we got there we got changer into our swimsuits and headed over to the swimming pool. When it was time to get out and eat lunch Ashlynn started complaining that her stomach hurt and Anthony noticed that she was getting really hot to the touch. We found a thermometer and took her temp. 101. Luckily I had brought along some Ibuprofen, so we gave her some and headed back to where Grandpa & Grandma were camping. Ashlynn and Anthony took a nap in the tent and Hailey, Alyssa and I hung out talking to the fam. It was really good to see everyone.

Cheese!

Grandma taught Hailey how to turn on the spicket!
