Thank God it is FRIDAY!!!!!

I am so thankful today is Friday. Because, I dont have to work, and I get to spend the whole weekend with Tony! One of my favorite things to do! I was telling some friends at work yesterday…that I could not do what I do without my honey….We work so good together as a team. I think we have an exceptional marriage. I know I am blessed to have someone that helps out so much around the house, and that works hard, that loves his family so much. I love you ANTHONY!!!

Okay before you all throw up with my sweet talk to my honey….let’s just say it has been a tiring week. I am getting used to have the 5 kids running around. Going from 4 to 5 is a big difference. No one could convince me otherwise! But we are getting the swing of things. Krystina is doing really good. She ran a high fever all afternoon and through last night. But after much prayer, it has broke and she seems fine this morning. I am serious I was praying hard. She is not on our insurance yet, and even though we could pay for her to go in….what a waste of money. Doctors really rip people off if they dont have insurance. So 5 is different. I tried going to Target the other day…it was basically really crazy. We did not stay long. I am sure I will get the hang of it, but for now I prefer to stay close to home. It is so fun to watch Kaitlyn with Krystina. She is so motherly. Any time she cries, she pats her back and says “okay,,,its okay” It is sweet. My friend Beth got her some new outfits. Which was a blessing. And some other moms from my class brought her clothes. Thank you again Beth for going to do that. I appreciate you and LOVE your little Jake. He is the sweetest thing! I work with a good group of people. I have made some good friends there. And it helps that I have the best boss ever. Love you Debbie!

The other night we went to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. We have eaten there before, but Wed night…my Ben totally freaked out. He sat under the table and cried and cried. We were sitting next to the waterfall, after the girls started crying we asked to be moved to a different table, we thought maybe it was just too loud right there. And it was a bit loud. So we move to one of the big fish tanks….still crying. Then my eldest told Ben that the BIG frog was going to come out and get him. I was like “hello that is not helping matters here” My oldest thought it was pretty funny that a frog could scare him. Anyways, it was not a peaceful dinner. And I don’t think we will be going back there to eat again.

My friend Joy asked how long we would be keeping the baby. We will have her for at least 15 months…probably longer than that. And the mom is gone from our home. She will live at the teen challenge center. She will not be allowed to see the baby for the first 4 months of the program. And then after that she can earn one weekend pass a month. The program she is in…is quite intense, but they have a good success rate for helping these girls with there issues. And with God anyone can change. We really believe in her, and believe that God is going to transform her life over the next 15 months. Thank the Lord God is still in the business of totally transforming lives that were in the pits. Please keep her in your prayers if you think of it.

Well…I must work on laundry. I really don’t want too, but you know….we kind of need clean clothes to wear. Have an AWESOME FRIDAY!!!
