I don't want to enter Wal-Mart for a very long time. I think that realistically I can probably put it off for about 4 days, but I'll hope for longer that that. We live down the street from what is apparently the largest Wal-Mart in Mississippi. Erin, Kimi and I were playing mom and went on a massive shopping trip. I felt like I was in Jon and Kate plus 8. I have never bought that much food, or been so conscious of budget buying, but I have to say that I am very proud that we not only stocked our kitchen with copious amounts of food, healthy food at that, but we came in under budget. Also, in addition to buying all this, Erin and I organized and labeled the entire kitchen, with separate shelf space for everyone's individual food and communal food space. It is beautiful. So mother, be proud. I've posted pictures so you all can admire our work.
The other monumental event was Kimberley Goffe's "first" bike ride. After Mississippi she is traveling to Europe to visit and they are going to be biking over 500 miles. Very exciting, but the only problem is that she hasn't ridden a bike in years, and never many miles. So to fix this problem she bought a bike at Wal-Mart today. Apparently riding a bike "is like riding a bike" although she has a little far to go to get ready for her 500 mile bike ride. You can all partake in this experience in the video I've uploaded.
We have our first day of orientation tomorrow, so then the real work begins. We'll report back.
