Another Wonderful Weekend

I haven't posted in a while. We had a busy weekend last week, we enjoyed the Baby Shower on Saturday and then Father's Day was Sunday. It was one of the fastest weekends in a while but an absolutely enjoyable one!

Lauren and Ben received so many wonderful gifts for Allison. They are all ready for the arrival with the nursery and items all prepared and washed. I am not sure about the mental preparedness part but I know Lauren is feeling tired and uncomfortable. I am sure those of us who have had babies can remember that very long last month!

Still no job for Chuck. My job is doing very well and so am I. All in all life is beautiful. I have no complaints only gratitude. Thank you Lord for everything in our lives and may you continue to bless us as we do our best.

Happiness Abounds

I am just thankful for so many things and I want to take this time now to "Thank you Lord, for loving and blessing me and my family".

Congratulations are in order for our nephew BJ who is graduating from high school today. Wish we could have made the trip to NC to celebrate with everyone.

Happy belated and current birthday wishes to: Mike, Jack, Heather, Stephanie, Jerry, BJ, and Gary. Add Lauren and my name to this list and my mother in law has lots of cards to mail out in May and June.

Next Saturday is the Baby Shower for Lauren. The nursery is coming along great and will be done in time to show everyone at the shower. I will post more after shower and will hopefully have some pics to share.

Happy Weekend and Enjoy!

Finding My Groove

I am starting to feel like I have my groove going on again! I knew someday I would be here and while unemployed, I was so anxious to feel "normal" again. I am the kind of person who needs steadiness, routine and calmness in my life. Of course, there is a huge part of me still unsettled since Chuck is still on the unemployment list but life is starting to even out again. Now if I could just stop losing my hair. I am thinking that is how my stress manifested itself this time. I am going to need a hairpiece if I keep this up!

I had such a wonderful birthday celebration last night. Lauren and I LOVE to eat at Ichiban in Orlando and for years that is what we try to do for our birthday celebration. Since our birthday this year was on a Thursday, we got treated to two dinner celebrations, one on Thursday, at the Red Lobster close to home and then last night was the trip into Orlando for Ichiban. Yummy. We also both got a certificate to a Day Spa for a massage too. Our husbands were good to us. Thank you.

I also got a cellphone holder, which may not seem exciting at all but since Lauren is getting closer to her delivery day, I want to be able to carry my cellphone on my waist while at work. So it was a very thoughtful gift that Chuck gave me. I love that man so much.

My heart over flows with thankfulness and I just want to say that "I THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS AND MERCY".
