What we are doing while Jason is in Africa

Just a quick update (in case Jason is reading this).... we are at my mom's in MS.  We are having a lot of fun.  I took him to this new Pump it Up type place called Jump in Tupelo today.  He had a ball.  He played for a good two hours.  Then we ate at one of my favorites...Old Venice.  To my happy surprise, they have a lunch buffet now and it was wonderful!   Chase konked out on the way home.  My mom took him outside to play in the dirt down in the woods.  He was COVERED!  You could not see skin for dirt so he had to then get the water hose and get everyone wet!  I twisted my ankle trying to catch the wild kittens in the garage.  Not sure what we will do with those, but you can't catch them to tame them!  They are cute.  My ankle is fine now...luckily, I didn't hurt it really badly.   We are leaving for Birmingham tomorrow to stay at a really awesome resort hotel and do some shopping...my last hooray before school start back and to celebrate my 35th birthday.  I can't believe I'll be 35!  UGH!!

I have heard from Jason over email several times.  He hopes to update the blog, but said internet is hard to come by.  I guess it is dial-up and doesn't connect each time or something or either he is just telling me that so he does not have to blog!  Wouldn't put it past him.   We miss him terribly and are ready for him to get home.  I'll be a nervous wreck Thursday and Friday while he will be flying for 2 days.  Lucky (or not) I have to work at New Teacher In-service those 2 days and will be busy a lot of the time.   I am dying to know if he has seen lots of snakes ( I have a HUGE fear and there are tons of them in Zambia where he is), elephants, and what the town is like and most importantly, what kind of work he is doing there.  I have never gone this many days without talking to him and it is HARD! I want to text him to tell him something and then put the phone down, because I can't.   Chase is fine with him gone...he has my mom to distract him so that is working out well.

Jason..if you are reading this in Africa...my mom made a Reese Cup pie (and you will love it) and something like an armadillo got into your deer corn and ate a lot of it.  Mom found the shed door open and the corn torn into.  Good luck with that one!

I hope to get my camera working right again so I can take more pictures...so sorry for the no picture post!
