WOWZERS!!!

Is the word of choice for me lately. It has been a whirlwind weekend. My head is still spinning a bit! I got up to MO about 1 AM on Friday night…or I guess that would be Saturday morning. Had a nice breakfast at the most AWESOME cinnamon roll place. OH.MY.GOSH. It was so good. I could write a whole post about this lady getting up to make them fresh everyday, and they were incredible. ANYways, later that day I went to my friend Ruth’s house, and we cleaned up her babies room. WE went to ANDY’s FROZEN CUSTARD, and I thought I was in heaven! That place is soooo good. She lives a block away. It is a good thing I dont live a block away or I would weigh 500 pounds! That night my mom cooked an incredible dinner, and we had a whole bunch of folks over. Hhmmm, everything seems to be revolving around food for me! I slept with my little sister that night…did not sleep, because she TOOK UP THE WHOLE BED! Sunday morning, I had breakfast with just Hopey’s boyfriend. We needed to have a heart to heart about my sister. I was needing to see what he was up to with my sister! The oh so overprotective sister came out. He is a nice guy and we had fun. And then we were going to go pick up Kim in Branson. Well we got all loaded and oops…Heidi locks her keys in the minivan. So my mom drove with my oldest to pick her up and I hung out till I could get someone to come break in for me. Got that done, and then thought I should run to walmart to get some things for the trip for the baby…got a bit sidetracked at Gordmans…that place…let’s just say an hour and half later I still had not been to walmart, because I was roaming the store. Looking at all the stuff that I really dont need for my house. Got back home and we got Kim loaded. And the poor baby cried almost the whole way home. It was great birth control for my sister Holly and Kyle. We had some nice talks getting to know each other, in the midst of all the screaming. Today has been good. we set some goals, and we have a list of “to-do’s”. She talked about what she wants to go to school for, and I kept encouraging her to follow her dreams. She SMILED so big. It almost made me cry. I think she feels really loved by us. The kids have been loving on her all day long. This is going to be one BIG adventure. Again, I am so humbled that God is using us the way he is. I am excited by the generosity that we have seen in others for Kim. I am just amazed. She has already been a blessing to me in many ways. She is organized, and quite disciplined. So I am hoping that some of that rubs off on me! Iron sharpens iron. I know she has a lot to offer this world. And I am SOOOO excited to see how God is going to work in her life. Be praying for her. When she saw her room. The look of appreciation was worth more than money could buy. I know we are on the first day still. But so far, so good.
