| For anyone who still reads this in hopes that I'll actually post something, I am moving to Wichita, KS for a new job. My last day at the Tribune is this Wednesday, and I'll be moving at the end of next week. This was an unexpected development in my life. They saw my resume online and came to me. I felt pretty tortured about it for a few weeks, but a couple of my good friends encouraged me to continue with the interview process. It really is a great opportunity in a bigger city. Wichita has a population of 350,000 people and the YMCAs there are phenomenal. Time to get back in shape!
I'm sad to leave my friends and church, but I'm excited to be closer to my adorable niece and my best friend. I'm also glad that I won't have to fly home at Christmas time now. I'll just have to drive a couple hours. Oh, and there should be less snow than here. Wahoo! | | |
| If you haven't seen it on the news already, an 18-year-old girl, Kelsey Smith, was abducted from an Overland Park, KS Target parking lot Saturday evening. She was one of my brother-in-law's band students. Surveillance video shows her being pushed into her car, and another video shows someone dropping off her car in a Macy's parking lot a couple hours later. The police have a person of interest who might have information, but so far they haven't found him. Please pray for her safety and for wisdom for the police. This happened in broad daylight! I think I shopped at that Target when I was visiting my sister, so it's just really creepy to me. | | |
| Okay, I'm getting too lazy to post here and at blogspot. You can find me there: www.lynitt.blogspot.com
Maybe the mysterious person in Israel who occasionally views this page will leave a comment on my blogspot. | | |
| So unless you're living in oblivion, you've heard about the EF-5 tornado that wiped out Greensburg, KS. Thankfully, none of my family and friends live close to the area. I do have one friend in Wichita, about an hour and a half away. She had just driven through Greensburg this past Friday, and now it's gone. I keep checking out the Wichita Eagle for more pictures and stories. It's total devastation. Tornadoes are such freaks of nature. They can totally demolish a house, but leave a Bible on a table untouched. I read a story today saying a rescue worker found three clocks, all stopped at 9:50 p.m., when the tornado went through town. It's just so eerie.
My siblings and I spent so much time in our basement during the summer. Mom would order us downstairs at the slightest threat of a tornado. We always took the lime green booster seat and pillows down to the storm cellar. We'd listen to the radio or read books. Occasionally, we would go up to check the status only to have mom shew us back downstairs. Maybe she just wanted to get rid of us for a while.  We learned that tornado watches aren't that big of a deal. We learned how to spot wall clouds,which could lead to a tornado. And we learned that if the temperature suddenly changes, the birds stop chirping, the sky turns green and it's raining sideways...quickly run to the basement! To this day, those signs scare me. I hope the people of Greensburg can move beyond their fear and rebuild. | | |
