Friday I had to go down to Birmingham for work. It was an all day work day for me. I don't have those to often and when I do it makes me really appreciate the fact that I work part time. I don't have it together enough to work full time! It was a good trip down to B'ham. I did what I needed to do. The kids did great at school (Ben) and with my mom (Kate).
Friday night we went to our friend Ryan's "No Mo Chemo" party! I wrote about him back in the fall and the fight he was going through with lymphoma. We got to celebrate Friday night the amazing healing of God and the fact that he is cancer free!! It was a great party and a great time of celebration. We took the kids with us and they had a blast playing.
Saturday was low key because of the "storms." We got lots done around the house and also did some relaxing which was great. It is crazy that we don't have more Saturdays where we can do some relaxing. We all took a nap which was great!!
Today was church this morning. We had a great sermon on work and working for the Lord. Kate did amazing in the nursery!!!!!! It was the first time in 2 months that I haven't gotten called to come get her. She just had a good time with the ladies today. Maybe we have turned a corner! This afternoon we planted some flowers outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Our yard is really starting to look good!
The wisteria around the entry way is about to bloom this week. It is going to be beautiful. We live in a neighborhood where lots of the houses look the same so I knew I wanted to do something to make ours look different. We planted the wisteria a couple of years ago and it has really done well. It makes our house unique. If you read the books on gardening they say to never plant wisteria near your house because it will take over. We knew what we were getting into. It has taken over. Matt has to trim it back at least once a week to keep it from totally taking over the house!
It really was a wonderful weekend together. To be fair, our newscasters do have a large territory and there was a large tornado that swept through communities just 40 miles to our south. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in our area and surrounding states whose lives were up-heaved after Saturday's tornadoes.
