It's been A WEEK!!!
This has been ONE OF "THOSE" weeks! CRAZY good, crazy weird, crazy sad...but it's almost over and next week will have it's own title...THEY ALWAYS DO! Just when you think it's going to be mellow....We started the week with Sunday off for the first time in MONTHS! I usually work Sunday's and now I have switched my days off to Sunday/Monday to match David's. It felt weird and I vowed NOT to go ANYWHERE near the campus BUT Kelly's little friend was baptized and how can you miss THAT!?! Seeing a little 7 year old go under for the sake of her faith and letting God be the boss of her life is SO amazing! Spent a great afternoon at their house after making plaques for the kids at Orangewood to give back to our God for what he gives us!
Monday we spent the day MAKING our kids study for the upcoming finals they were NOT happy about!
Tuesday was Matt's birthday and we had a nice dinner,cake, gifts but AGAIN we were the bad guys who made our children study for finals! BAD MOMMY, BAD DADDY!!
That brings me to Wed when finals were getting to them, they needed a break and some treats...THANK YOU SADDLEBACK HSM for giving them a "study break!" This night turned sad for a completely different (unmentioned..sorry) item but it made for a night of holding my daughter's hand while she slept, cried, and DIDN'T STUDY! Trust me, it won't be the first time we will have nights like this, sad but worth the life lessons!
Thurday night also brought a late night visitor who needed a place to crash so she wouldn't have to drive home in the rain...it kept mommy up late BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT FOR SOME GIRL TALK AND CATCH UP TIME!
Thursday and Friday made for MORE finals...TODAY THE PAIN IS OVER! We rewarded Holly by letting her go out for dinner and movies with a group of girls! THEN we caved and finally bought Matt a brand new cell phone (again, we are mean and give our kids a "pay as you go" phone for their 1st cell phone year to teach them responsibility first), it's on our plan and HE LOVES IT! It has rang ALL night since he HAD to tell EVERYONE he knows his new number and has UNLIMITED texting!
ALL I CAN SAY IS...this week has taught us some great lessons, memories and bonding! Can't wait to see what next week has in store! LORD HAVE MERCY MY HUSBAND IS DYING TO "check" on our cabin to make sure the snow isn't too high on the balcony...or is that an excuse to drive up the mountain to play and ski! I have to THINK SO! Anyone find the "need" to kidnap me for a "girl talk, girl's day" I am NOT saying I would fight you!

Julie Hibbard had this to say:
You have my cell number...let me know when you can get away. I am always up for a movie or an escape of any kind!
