May 2015!

It has been several months... I know that there has been lots of water flow under the bridge and I can not remember everything since my last post, but at least I can post about the month of May! June will follow in a few weeks!
   Since May first, lots of things have taken place around here, starting with a wonderful week of revival (with Bro. Shannon Justice)! What a good way to start the month off! Revival ended on Friday night and Jay started a glorious week revival on Saturday night at a church nearby where my brother pastors. God blessed every night! It was awesome!
    Earlier in the year I was ask to take on Teacher/Staff Appreciation Day for LCA this year... So the second week of May, it was pulled off  (with Sis. Amy (a school mom) being my side-kick)!

 The room fit just perfectly with my theme idea! Rustic! 

Instead of disposable cups, LaDessa and I decided to attach a heart warming note (A Teacher, Takes a Hand, Opens a Mind and Touches a Heart) to a reusable cup for each staff member from LaDessa. It turned out very nice! 

We had lots of food! Several of the mothers so graciously helped! They were willing to do what ever they could do, to help make this day a success! It was very much appreciated! Sis. Amy and I had a great time together and I so greatly enjoyed it! Thanks Amy!

Oh! I almost forgot to mention our church youth group Rock-A-Thon that was held that same week as well! Needless to say, revival/Teacher & Staff day and the Rock-A-Thon all in the same week.. looking back, is a complete blur. But it was worth it!

 In February we had purchased tickets (departing May 23rd) to fly out to WA and drive the RV back (given to us by Jay's dad before his passing). We tried to plan our trip so that LaDessa would attend the last week of school (thinking all was good to go)...In March, the school decided that the students would have to go an extra week to make up for snow days. 

Saying all that to say this, LaDessa had to miss that last week of school again this year. Her class decided to do their fun week, a week early so that LaDessa could be there! It was very thoughtful! One day during that week Benjamin, JaHanna and I got to be in on some of the fun! 

Sis. Amy put together lots of games for the classmates..while I got off easy by bringing pizza, cupcakes and treat bags for lunch. Amy also ended the day with snow cones! LaDessa had so much fun and was thrilled to have her brother and sister in attendance! We hated that we had to miss awards day, but we had no other choice. Life!

The Flight out to WA went pretty smooth, considering I had a 19 month old in my lap for 7 hours. While in WA we got to visit Dad Wright's grave site. Timing for memorial day was just perfect! We were in WA for a short two days before starting back, so we crammed in as much family visits as possible. We left out early hours on Tuesday morning, making our way back home, driving 8-10 hours each day. Mom Wright traveled back to IL with us, where we dropped her off at Jay's sisters place. We arrived there in IL on Friday and left out for KY on Saturday morning. Quick, but nice visit! It was good to get to see them!

 The kids LOVED the entire RV ride back home! Comfort! 

Lots of awesome views, just beautiful! 

Our Traveled states back were: Washington/Idaho/Montana/North Dakota/ Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois/Indiana.. and after 9 days...KY was the prettiest state of all!
Before ending this post, I will leave you with some pictures, upon request!

May was definitely a very busy month, but June has been just as busy. Our actual vacation is coming up in just a few days now!!.....I will be making a June post soon! You may just find the Wright Family, GONE CAMPING! Stay Tuned!
