A few moments…

So I finally have a few moments here. We have been very busy since we got home. I worked on my room at school yesterday for quite awhile. And it is coming along really nicely. I am excited about this new school year. It is easy going to work when you enjoy those who you work with and have a good boss!

Chandler’s birthday party last night was fun. He was so excited about each gift! We had a yummy crocodile cake that I made, and we went on a family walk, and we rented Camp Rock. I LOVE THAT MOVIE. It was great! I want to get the soundtrack for it! My oldest loved all the music too! We had fun dancing around the living room. You should have seen us…it was HYSTERICAL!!! He woke up this morning and said that he needed his own room now, because he is 6 now. hhmmm…probably not going to happen right now Chandler.

So my trip home was so much fun. I realized even more what an incredible extended family I have. I really, really do. My kids had a blast playing with there cousins, being kids outside. I had fun getting caught up with old friends. Life is slow there. And I really like that. I honestly was having a hard time wanting to come back to Dallas. I missed Tony, but just the slowness of life there, and all the cousins, it made me a bit homesick. I am really blessed to have such a great family.

I am doing a new Bible study by Beth Moore, called Jesus. It is really good. She really makes you work. Lots of reading and thinking. Not that it is bad, I just need to make my mind work.

So our friend comes this weekend for her first visit since she left baby with us. I am nervous and excited. So many more big decisions will be made when she comes. Like if she is really planning on keeping baby. She will make that final decision. It is huge. So please pray for us this weekend. I am sure it will be an emotional one. This whole process has made me emotional. Made me more sympathetic. More understanding. Making me give more of myself, that I did not know existed. Basically God is stretching me to the MAX!!! Sometimes when you are stretched it is not pleasant. I have had to dig deeper into myself. Tune my listening ears better to the Lord. To make sure I hear from him and not my emotions.
