So it's been an eventful vacation so far... in order to fill you in I must preface this post with the info that my Aunt, Uncle and Grandparents own/run a commercial cleaning business. So first thing Wednesday morning was a phone call that one of their employees has been killed in a motorcycle wreck (further validation for my NO motorcycle rule)... as if this news wasn't terrible enough.. she was also scheduled to clean a building on the other side of town that night so they were scrambling to figure out what to do- while sinking in to the reality of her passing. The day was filled with posting a job ad, fielding calls and scheduling interviews, making arrangements to get the building covered all while juggling us as guests to boot. I must say my aunt did a great job trying to play both roles as business owner/ vacation tour guide. She finally got 10 interviews set for today and we arranged this evenings plans to accommodate interviews on the other side of town. However, once we traveled the 45 minutes to the location we realized... we left the building keys at home...!!!!!!!!! So we now had to figure out a plan to get the building opened.. ARGH! The new plan involved most of us traveling back home to get the keys and leaving everyone there but me and Becky and Brad and Grampa who were conducting the interviews (which only 3 of 10 showed up to). We came back and all went to clean the property which ended up going quickly and interesting to see what exactly their company covers. While I feel awful about the bad few days they have had, it's also been nice to see them handle various situations and overcome the obstacles. Plus it's been nice to help contribute to the "family" business even if I did just clean toilets and sinks. Tomorrow we plan to head to the mountains for the weekend, should be fun and beautiful.
On another note, I woke to a breath taking view of the mountains and felt compelled to just take in the awe of God's design. I played some worship music and just focused on His plan. It was a beautiful moment to slow down and remember that the God who created those mountains also lives inside of me. I am really looking forward to the church plans for Sunday. We are going to a hillside church that has their service outside when the weather permits- this should be AMAZING!!
We went to Jumpstreet tonight which is a place a lot like Let's Jump (the indoor inflatables place) but this place was all trampolines... like 10 rows of a long line of trampolines where both ends curve up like a wall you can bounce off of with padding in between. It was AWESOME! Marc and Maddy and Becky's kiddos had so much fun (I did not bounce much as it's not good on my back). They also had a trampoline dodge ball course. It was really neat and made us wish Texas had something like that to offer. Pics to follow.
