a happy exhaustion

Nine people in a three bedroom apartment for four days... happily crowded and a lot of fun. My team from China was here this last week - thus the lack of posts from me. We had a good time - bowling, going to Omaha, swing dancing, watching The Chronicles of Narnia for the third time (well, for me at least). It was a fun, encouraging, and relaxing week. My house feels a bit empty now, but its a satisfied empty I think. Today is a day to recoup - drink some coffee, catch up on some e-mail, perhaps get lost in a book. Laundry is definately on the list. Here are a few picts from the craziness of the week - one of the group (minus Jesse), one of just us girls, and one of Mariah with my friend Mark (wearing Ellen's coat). What a fun time!
