An Amazing Week!

Last Thursday (March 11) Tyler came to Wichita and we went to see Tyler Perry in Madea's Big Happy Family! We met Marchella (Tyrone's oldest sister) and her oldest daughter Lola for supper before we went to the show. They were going to the show also but they were able to get their tickets before we got ours and they had much better seats, lol. The show was AWESOME!!! Neither Tyler, Lola, or I had ever been to see a play that wasn't a High School play. It was such a good show that I would gladly go again if I ever have the chance. I love Tyler Perry!!!

Tyrell and Kelsie

Tyler was only here Thursday night and then he left Friday a little before noon. We went to my friend Julia's house in Wellington Friday morning and picked up a washer and dryer that she gave Tyler (Thanks Julia!). I had to work half a day that day so I headed to work as he headed out of town. By 3:00, Tyrell and his girlfriend Kelsie were making it to Wichita, so they came by my school and then we went to the apartment. My friend Dena and her husband Rick came over that evening and they brought their son Reid and his girlfriend Kristin over so that the kids could go bowling that night at 11:15 p.m. My original plan was to go with them but by 11:15 I was pooped, lol. I ended up taking them to the bowling alley and then picking them up later. Tyrell and Kelsie were here until Tuesday, during that time Dawn, Alan, and Josh came up on Saturday and we went to the zoo on Sunday. We also went to eat at the Texas Roadhouse on Monday evening. We had a great time at the zoo, we loved watching Josh! We were afraid that he would get tired before we got through the zoo, but at the end we were all exhausted and he was still ready to go, lol.

Tyrell was supposed to bowl in a tournament here on Saturday but unfortunately he had fractured his wrist the week before so he wasn't able to bowl in the tournament. He bowls with his left wrist which is the one he fractured. He can bowl with his right hand too, but he's not as good with his right as he is with his left so he didn't want to let down his team by risking it. Thankfully it wasn't a serious fracture that required surgery and he only has to wear the cast for 3 weeks so I will be going to Pittsburg on the 31st so he can get the cast off on the 1st.

Here are some pics of our little Joshy at the zoo :-)

It really was an amazing week. I was so glad to see everyone and show them a bit of my world here in Wichita. I don't go back to school until Tuesday and I'm ready! I have missed my kids at school. I'm going to take my camera this week and see if I can get some pics of them. I have to admit that I'm a little nervous about what will happen with my job next year. With all of the cut-backs in education I am a part time first year teacher which means that I am at the very bottom of the totem pole. I just have to have faith that it will all work out and I'll still have a job here next year. Pray for me!
