Ryan came carrying my phone into our bedroom and said Natalie had put it in a suitcase. He said she walked into the living room, unzipped a side pocket, put my phone in it, zipped the pocket up, then turned around and walked off. He said he didn't think she knew he was watching her, but was trying not to laugh because she was clearly being sneaky.

Last night Colby and Meredith decided to run away. Here are a couple of posts I made on Facebook while we were living the situation:

"Colby is in the process of running away. His plan is to walk to my parents' house to get his bike, sleep for a while, then bike to Ryan's parents' house in Corbin. I can't stand it, lol!!! It's funny b/c he's not angry, just matter-of-fact about it.

" Lol, we told him bye and let him go outside. Meredith decided she was going too. He had on his batman cape and she wasn't wearing any pants, lol! I told him he had to talk to my mom before he showed up at her house and she kinda discouraged him from it. But he and Meredith headed down the street. And we live in the country, so it's dark out here! Ryan stopped them and suggested waiting until it's morning so they can see where they're going, but he was stopping them before they confronted the two sheep dogs at the end of the road. He came in and said, "When the sun is up, me and Meredith are outta here!" These are my favorite kids E. V. E. R."

I leave for China one week from tomorrow.

Ryan starts grad school in about two weeks.

I saw the movie "The Help" and highly recommend it. And if you know me, I'm very critical of movies, so if I recommend it, then you should probably see it.

Ryan put a pepsi in the freezer earlier (this story isn't going to go the direction you think it is). he went to get it but it was gone. He confronted Colby and Meredith about taking it and said he knew it was one of them because Natalie was too short to reach the 'threezer' as Meredith calls it. When both denied it, Ryan exclaimed, "Who took my pepsi!?" Natalie piped up and said, "I did." I'm pretty sure she only said that because she had been ruled out as a suspect.

That's about it.
