Hi friends! Please wish my precious husband a happy birthday today! He turned 42 today! We had his meal of request for lunch, which was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and rolls. We are going to go bowling in town and then we will be back home for the first night of American Idol. I have no idea when it started there, but it starts here, tonight! Then we will eat the cake that he requested which is carrot cake. I don't know if any of you watch Everybody Loves Raymond. However, if you have ever seen one of Deborah's cakes, that is what his looks like. For some reason... and I will blame the altitude. ( above 7,000 feet) the cake looks so pathetic! I know he is wishing he married Martha Stewart about now. However, I doubt she would live with him here in the village! Then again, I do know some who do! :o) Just ain't me!!
Anyway... I received a call from my parents last night. They said,"So... we read your blog and it sounds like you are depressed." I had to laugh, parents are funny.. they seem to pick up on things that many never will. I am NOT depressed, however I was getting extremely tired when I wrote that post. Which probably made it seem like I was depressed. I do think that sometimes living here and hearing all of their problems and seeing all of their problems can become overwhelming. That added to a lack of sleep was doing me in.
I am still having pain due to my stupid Shingles and this doesn't help matters any. So.. last night I decided to stay home from church and rest with Annie. HAAAA! I have to laugh even as I type that. If you only knew what I had planned. I mean I was all bundled up, cozy as can be on my couch playing Crazy 8s with Annie when the phone rang. "NOOOOOOOOO!" It was Greg. He said that the people who own the home where we have church weren't home yet. It was an hour after the time we say church starts. People don't generally come until then anyway but no one was there, not even the owner of the house. He said, " So I am going to wait about 20 more minutes and if no one shows up, I will come home. However, IF someone shows up, can we come there?" Like I am going to say no. Oh how I wanted to . So.... about 10 minutes later (after I had done a tornado clean up in the house) about 10 people showed up. By the end of our study... there were about 45 people in my house. LOVELY!! ;o) So I promised Greg I would never not go to church! He just laughed. It wasn't horrible but after we swept and mopped and disinfected the bathroom, I slept like a baby! So... I guess I will try and snuggle with Annie tonight! Or... maybe not.. who knows!
I love you all!! Missy
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
