Fasts, Weddings, Viruses, Adoption, and Mom's Gone AWOL

OK I haven't blogged in 2 whole months so here is all the wonderful stuff that has been going on that really deserves a full length page all by themselves but aren't going to get one right now.

1. A close friend of mine, Brandon, and myself went on a Biblical Daniel fast for 21 days. We had nothing but fruits and vegetables. It was all about discipline and putting God first for me. It was very hard and very much worth the effort.

2. Heather and Aaron got married on March 10th. Of course that is her and Em at the top of the page. Isn’t she just beautiful? There are new pictures running down the side of the page also. The last picture is of her and Aaron our new son. It was a wonder and sweet wedding service. I pray many blessings on their marriage.

3. My niece that came to the wedding had 2 children with a stomach virus. To top it off my close friend here at home has 2 children with a stomach virus and it was also going around in Houston. Regardless where we got it the whole family came home from the wedding sick and stayed that way for a week. Cecil and I still have moments when we fill the virus is hanging in there.

4. As you may know from my post around Christmas about Santa paying off our lawyer, Cecil is adopting Branflake. Well, the first court date got cancelled. The judge was busy? Anyway it was rescheduled for today. So, here is my morning so far…..

Just to set the scene… Panic has set in.
Cecil wakes me up around 6:30 this morning.

Cecil: "You have to get up and call the lawyer!"

Me: "What?"

Cecil: "You have to get up and call the lawyer!"

Me: "Why?"

Cecil: "I'm scared. What if I miss heard him?"

Me: "He said 1:30 right, the after lunch session?"

Cecil: "Yes but before he said all cases started at 9 AM and they just saw you as the day went."

Me: *lean over and look at clock* “Well honey I can't call him right now."

Cecil" "No, but ya'll better go ahead and get up and be ready to go by 8 in case when you call him it really is at 9 AM.


Me mentally: Sheesh doesn't he realize he's already got this gig? I mean he has had the kid calling him Daddy since he was 2 years old. (For the 1st year he called him SeeSaw.)


5. Tomorrow is my Moms Gone AWOL weekend. I am off for a whole weekend of fun with some friends. No kids, no housework, no spouse, no responsibilities, nothing but selfishness. We are going to stay in a fancy hotel suite, eat good food, get manicures and pedicures, and shop shop shop. I plan to make the most of it. I can’t believe Cecil is letting me go much less has agreed to spend the money this involves. I may never get a chance to be this self indulgent again! God is good. Cecil is good.


Other than those things the days have been pretty much the same old stuff around here. Lots of school work and lots of house work. We did get our taxes in and bought a bunch of much needed stuff and a few things we shouldn’t have. I went ahead and bought my entire curriculum for next year. I’ll tell you all about my new buys later. Your roughly filled in now on my last 2 months and hopefully I won’t fall off the blogging wagon again for a while! LOL
