So it has definitely been days of ups and downs for the Cook's In Kansas. Just as soon as Audrey was showing signs of recovery she would have a relapse and lose whatever food or drink she had consumed. This created much stress for Laurie as she was preparing to host a candle party this past Saturday. I also had commitments for the Lutheran Campus Ministry Board that I am a part of on Friday night and did not get home until 10pm. Saturday, Audrey was definitely starting to come back from the brink. She actually played a little bit.

Laurie's candle party went well. Some friends came over after the party and we had a great Italian meal prepared by Laurie and we played a game. Sunday, Audrey was definitely getting back to full strength, but we were leery about taking her to church. However, Laurie is on the alter guild this month so she had to prepare the bread and wine for communion. So she went and Audrey and I stayed home. The rest of Sunday was spent just being lazy. We watched "The Aviator," which I definitely enjoyed.

Work is really busy and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. We are conducting phone calls to prospective students this week asking them about the status of their housing application and trying to answer any questions. I have had two early mornings the last two days. I am also trying to do check references for candidates for our graduate assitantships. Plus all my other meetings and general job duties. I am really feeling tired right now! Hopefully I can sleep in a little tonight/tomorrow morning.
