What a "busy" weekend!
I will share it through bullet points because to write about it would take up way too much time!

Friday:

  • Laundry, laundry and more laundry
  • 3-hour Dodgeball Tournament at the Junior High
  • Late night Grocery Shopping (saved $40 with coupons)
  • Laundry
  • Bed at 1am

Saturday:

  • Early morning papers (6am)
  • Meijer
  • Krogers
  • Laundry
  • Tropical Sun Tanning (ahhhh)
  • Shower
  • Lunch and shopping with my sweet friend, Vanita
  • Surprise 50th party for me! (my precious kids from ND came home for this)
  • Friends/family come over after party
  • Laughter with the family
  • Clean-up
  • Listening to my older boys play Monopoly! (what a hoot)
  • Write Thank-you's (11:00pm)
  • Bedtime 12am

What a great whirlwind of a weekend! I was surprised, to say the least, at the party and it was so "wonderful" to see some very special and dear friends, their love and thoughtfulness touched my heart. And a special award goes to my sweet, wonderful husband who took on the daunty task of planning this surprise. Thank you, Honey, for all you do for me, our children and others and thanks for throwing the party, however, I wish it could have just been a party and not about me turning the big 5 - 0!

So glad you had a great time at your surprise party!!

You were in my thoughts on Saturday....

Thanks for the prayers about the job situation with my ex - I'm really trying to hand it over to God and not worry about it. Not that there haven't been tears shed or a bad case of the "what ifs", but I just have to trust that God will work in this just as he does with any of our other dilemmas.
