and to think ....

right now i was suppose to be in tuscaloosa with my best friend getting excited to go to the best university campus ever (in my opinion) and tonight be at the UA vs MSU game.

and to think of all i would have already missed if i had went.

life happens. crap happens. things come up. life goes on.

i've had SO much going on, but it hasn't been "fun" stuff. all i wanted was a fun weekend. well, this time i'm getting a fun weekend, just not the way i had it planned.

and thankfully so.

if i had left work when i planned on it yesterday, i would have worried myself all weekend. why? glad you asked! sorry if you didn't! my sisnlaw and twin nephews were in a bad car accident on fri. she was turning on the road her parents live on. the same way her family has for 20 plus years, the only way you can. long story short. her van flipped and oh my at the pictures! everyone is perfectly fine! sisnlaw is very sore and couldn't sleep because she kept replaying everything in her mind. i couldn't have imagined.

last night, mom called said they were on their way home from the er (they took the twins one to get them checked out), and i was relived! i also, was cold, lazy yet wanting to clean clean our house for my wonderful mom. then i heard the best noise ever! my brother's big loud diesel truck! i thought this is too good to be true! i'm in the middle of my pity party because i didn't get to get the heck away from here! i go outside, and yes! there's my bro and his safe,healthy, beautiful family! i went and opened up the back seat doors, and my eyes were met by two little 13 month old boys who were hungry and sleepy, yet all the sudden happy to see me!

they ended up coming in so i could help the twins with their supper and give their parents a break to unwind. my brother broke my heart! sisnlaw did too! i can't imagine what she went through! the word "thankful" doesn't cut it for how i feel about what God did for our family yesterday!

last night my house was filled with little boy laughter, zoom zooms and boodin' boodin' truck noises, whining over toys and their aunt britt a few times (oh i love those times!), peep-pie games, and banging of other toys. i'm so thankful this happened to them at this age if it ever had to happen to them.

they will never remember this, and they are to young to know to brace themselves. so when the van flipped, they were basically like baby dolls in their awesome car seats!

as you may could tell, my heart and mind can't let this go! if i was in ttown this weekend, something tells me i would have never had fun until i got home and got slobbery kisses from two of the three boys who have stolen my heart and life and heard them say "hey" - lj with a higher pitched voice and dc with his low voice.

life happens. life happens fast. i am  in love with the giver of life, and so thankful for His protection!

so what i have a sick car? so what i have a million and one things to do before next saturday - ladies' christmas celebration dinner i'm co-coordinator of at church? so what i have another abscessed tooth? so what i have a few cold symptoms? so what my best has three million and one things to get done, and probably doesn't need to go to the game either, except for everyone deserves and needs a break, to get it all done?

things could be so much worse. i'm just thankful today. i'm blessed today. i'm happy today. i'm excited today. i'm ready for fun today. i'm ready to go shopping with my mom, come home and clean house, watch the game on tv, and things done and enjoy the fact that i have a 3 day weekend! no work til tues for me!

enjoy life,
Britt
