What. A. Week. I don’t even know where to begin. It was exciting at times, so boring at others, and then a frantic push to the finish line. Monday Rusty left for Mountain View and Josh and I woke up and went to the gym. His classes didn’t start until noon. He was eager to…
BEST SUNDAY EVER. Grandma and Grandpa Cornell and Natalie flew out to be with us for the weekend. Carlie, Dan, Gwen, and Cy were there (When we were babysitting the kids last weekend, Mave threw up at church, and she was too embarrassed to come back.
