The guys (big and little) really love the high school football scene which we didn't have at Whitefield. So usually I have Friday night to myself and Seth. Seth is in bed and so tonight it is you and I, my friends.
I'm a little afraid that what I am going to say next may be a little like President Bush standing under a big sign "Mission Accomplished."
HOWEVER, I believe that this week is a week that I'll look back on as a turn around week--with regard to our move. (To my friends in Kentucky, you can still feel the love, because I'll still miss you.)
I met Bernadette yesterday at church for Bible Study as I promised that I would. My Beth Moore study is superior in content but this is the social outlet I need. I was amazed at how nice, really nice I was treated.
Tonight at dinner, David mentioned that maybe tommorow morning after Samuel's basketball evaluation we could go to North Carolina (He's longing for a little more color). Quickly I said, "as long as we're back for church on Sunday." He almost choked. Really.
My birthday celebration continued through tonight! We had my cake last night. The picture does it no justice. It was beautiful. Very girly and white with raspberry filling. My boys looked at it and said, "Yuck." Until they tasted it. Seth dropped his spoon and went for it by the fist. Yes, he's three! But it was that good.
Tonight I opened my gifts from Beth. The Celebrate Willow Tree angel and a bracelet that I really like too. My boys liked the card best--it has a picture with a girl with both fingers up-way up her nose and when you open it it plays Boogie Wonderland and says, It's your birthday, Can you dig it?

I was a lowly high school student when you were in college, but I remember you well. Harold told me that you were at the alumni reunion in KY. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. It's always nice to connect with another mother who knows the feeling of being outnumbered.

Aimee, You sent me the most encouraging email after that post. I appreciated then and again now. Welcome!
Kayla, You're right we are certainly outnumbered! I find that I'm drawn to pink when red used to be my fav color. I think it is my silent rebellion that I have nothing pink in my house except if it's on me! Welcome! Come back again!
