so, are you wondering what was so exciting about my weekend yet? i start it with friday morning,with a picture my sister had made (and i'm not too happy i haven't seen it yet).
I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT AGAIN!!!!! IN SEPTEMBER!!!!
yes, we know it's early on, but we want prayers! sister had a little scare, and ended up getting to have an ultrasound a few weeks early! i can't wait to see the little bean! sister is good, just your typical 1 trimester stuff. i'm thinking if God chooses for me to marry and have kids,only my body is going to be shocked by what's happening! i have had so many friends to have babies and I HAVE 7 OTHER FRIENDS EXPECTING! isn't that kind of crazy?! and .... there's still oct-dec that i don't have "baby so-and-so due" on my calendar! i'm excited to get to be an aunt again. and poor baby, i keep calling it a certain sex, so i guess we'll see how long i can try to keep it a secret what i think baby is.
so what else was so wonderful about my weekend? not much! i'm a positive person 98% of the time, but this weekend claimed that negative 2%. have you ever just had a day or night where nothing, and i mean nothing, made you happy or went right?! well that was saturday night in good terms!
you see, i received some very sad news right before i left to go to work. one of my neighbors is this strong,older,thin,tall lady. mrs c. mrs c is fighting her third battle of cancer, this time it's in her leg. she broke that same leg before christmas. i know of two tractors that have fallen on top of her in my lifetime, and she was never hurt bad then. she's been widowed for almost 15 years. she still takes care of her cows,goats,dogs,and loves the little cove where we live. she's seen it transform like no other. well, mrs c got up about 3 am saturday to use the bathroom, and saw her house was on fire. since she has the broken leg, her only son has been staying with her at night. she woke him up, he grabbed his cell and wallet off the counter, they got out, and the house fell in. total loss. the fire marshall said it could just burn itself out. it was still smoking sunday afternoon after lots of rained saturday night-sunday morning. it's such a sad sight. she came out in a gown,no house coat, coat, socks or shoes. i almost just want to cry out to God and say, "Really?! why her again?!" . not to be selfish here, i'm thankful it wasn't my home, but i hate it so bad for her. she has amazing faith. when spetember 11,2001 happened a co-worker of my mom's asked her was she scared of what had happened and did she think we could make it through this. my mom's reply was simply yes. with God ALL things are possible, and i live close to mrs. c and 2 doors down is mr norm. together, we'll survive. mrs c is the most humble woman i know. she doesn't want to make a fuss over anything, and just fights her way through.
so that was part of saturday. other than working, the other part was kind of fun. i re-decorated my grandparents living room. my dad repainted it and hung a new door and trim last week. so my part got to start. i got the
so then it was sunday: sunday school,church service,mexican for lunch, church meeting,church,walmart and home to see the Saints win to get to go to the super bowl for the first time! i'm usually a farve fan, but i'm very excited for the saints! my mother is proud i'm keeping up with sports. what she doesn't exactly realize is i'm only excited because it means only one more football game til september when the tide starts rolling again! i need a break from football!
oh, here's another update - this whole not eating out for lunch thing is so awesome! not only do i get blogging time,alone time,and a healthier lunch, but i have more money than i thought i would have left over! it's been amazing to see it add up!
i hope you are having a great hair day today! my curls haven't made their mind up today on why they are doing whatever it is they are doing!
happy tuesday! Britt
