What a weekend! Friday was my friend Denise Thommason's birthday & when I went to her house to wish her a "Happy Birthday", she told me it was her day to wish ME a "Happy Birthday"! She had asked Lee if she & her crew could come over, wake me up & bring me breakfast...the only thing was, it would be @ 6:15AM!!!, so, we're going to get together maybe for lunch one day this week!Friday night was Homecoming at Prep. I knew the football game wasn't going to be very interesting, so I went to Mike & Karyn Thornhill's instead. It's such a relaxed atmosphere & we always have so much fun with them!
Saturday Sam was in a soccer tournament at the Rez. We won one & tied one. Then, the highlight of my weekend...we went to Mark & Linda Stucky's Saturday night! You see, Mark came home Friday after a 3 month stint in Iraq. I'm so glad he's home!!! And I am so proud of him for going! He's one of my heros:) And, Linda, the blurriness of the picture is b/c my battery was low...it was not the photographer! While I was at the Stucky's, I got a text from my sweet friend Angie Campbell saying she had a "happy" for me & she was going to leave it in my mailbox! I came home to find a gift certificate to BOPs!!! My favorite...what a treat! I can't wait to go get me some of that Amazing Grace! (Grace-a favor that I did not earn, nor do I derserve!!!)
Sunday Chip was "firing on all cylinders"! We are in a series called "Me and My Big Mouth". The main scripture reference is from James. I love James! I guess after going throught the Marriage & Family Therapy program @ RTS, I've seen how crutial words are...what we say, how we say it, to whom we say them, & on and on! Someone told me a long time ago that when you are about to talk about someone, you need to ask yourself, "If the person you are talking about were standing there, would you say what you are about to say?" I really try to keep that in mind. And, before you say something, is that going to put someone in a brighter light or are you tearing down their character? As Christians, we really do need to be different! We need to lift each other up & not pick each other apart...that's what enemys are for:)
After lunch, my boys & I settled in to watch the Saints...WOW they looked so good! I did get my Sunday nap in & woke up to see my handsome nephew Rich Man. He & Rhonda were coming in from a soccer tourney in Birmingham & stopped in for Richard to bring me some goodies! That Lava cake was AWESOME! Sorry, Bev, it was an individual size...NOT for sharing!
Sunday night Lee & I went to Keys and Tara's for small group. We started a study on Fireproofing Your Marriage...based on the movie that's out. Kim & Eric were our leaders and since Kim studies the brain and Eric is an ER doc, they really had some interesting points and slides for us on the actual physical differences in the male/female brains! Now Lee thinks he's going to be able to get by with not listening to me...NOT! JK...Lee ALWAYS gives me his undivided attention:)
