(Note Superman S Shield on the card :D )
Once they woke up they showed me that they had left clues around the house as a sort of scavenger hunt. I followed the clues to a bottle with a piece of paper rolled up inside. (They thought this was a very pirate-like thing to do...they know me so well.) The paper turned out to be a treasure map which they wanted me to follow.
We followed the map until I found a gift wrapped up in the blanket chest. They had given me a bracelet that says, "Be still and know that I am God." on the outside and "Psalm 46:10" on the inside.
I couldn't get a very good picture of it, but this will give you a basic idea.
We went to Crispers for lunch (one of my favorite places to eat) and spent the afternoon swimming, hanging out, and yes - sometimes even fighting. Hey they are still kids! The littlest one clung to me most of the afternoon telling me how she would miss me and how she is glad I got to be her nanny. I will miss them.
This evening I went to Starbucks with my friend. She will have left for college when I come back from my trip, so this was kind of a goodbye as well. I guess it's just the day for goodbyes. If it weren't for the fact that I am going on vacation tomorrow I would probably have to break down and cry. As it is, I'm way to excited to cry!
I pretty much have everything packed and ready to go to the airport in the morning. My flight leaves at 7:40 AM, and I will get to St. Louis around 1:00 PM. My grandma, aunt, and uncle will be picking me up. I am looking forward to seeing them!
I'm still praying about the job offer I had last night. I haven't had a chance to email the mom again, but I will be doing that sometime in this next week.
Time to get back to packing and cleaning.
