BS Hang-Out!

I know this post is long overdue! I was trying to explain to my dad the other day about why I haven't done my taxes yet. First of all, I said, isn't April 15th Tax Day??? :) I also find it hard to describe my life to someone that I don't share it with day in and day out. I do talk to my dad just about every day but still ... I was trying to explain to him that there aren't many if any times during my day when I'm sitting around, doing nothing and pondering what comes next.
Therefore, my taxes are not done.
Therefore, I have not packed a single thing yet for the big move in approximately 9 days.
Therefore, I have not blogged in awhile.

Every fifth week, we have a hang out/outreach night for our Bible study group. This last hang out, we decided to hit up All-Play, an arcade in downtown Des Moines! It was a blast! I only put $5 on my card and I got to play plenty of games and had a terrific time! Here's some pictures from our fun evening!

Beth, Allison and Annelise getting super excited about the games!

Dan, Quinton and Meg love All Play!

Jill, Hannah and Melissa


Annelise, me and Erin taking a break from the games.

All in all, it was a super fun night! I lost in most games ... Mario Kart, basketball shooting, another car race, shooting zombies BUT I did win at air hockey... TWICE. It's my only real arcade talent and it's thanks to Santa Claus circa about 1995 for bringing the Wilson girls an air hockey table for Christmas.
