So, here we are againOk, it's a week later - and some things have gotten better (thanks Ben, Kari & T-roy for youth event help)...and some have gotten worse (more bad news about youth event space).... And things are a mixed bag for my personal life- this weekend will include on the ugly side- a 6 hour drive up to Warren PA for my uncle Leon's funeral- which is pretty unexpected- even though he was 70 or so) and a 6 hour drive back- all on Friday... but then, on Saturday- a time with Kari and friends (Allie- when can I see you? what's your saturday/sunday like?) And I am so looking forward to that!!! Yea- food and time together!! Can't wait!
Also- my Dad's situation just got a little scarier, which makes me worry a LOT for how my mom will cope (I know most of you who might read this are teens, but just trust me when I say that it is TOTALLY WEIRD when you reverse roles with your parents- and no matter how old you are- you will NEVER be prepared for it).
On a happier note- Isaac can say over twenty words- one of which is actually mommy, but he never says that to me (sick little sense of humor already- just like his parents)... Favorite words of the week: Ball, "mimi" (which is aunt Jamie) and daddy.... so sweet. Lovin this parenting thing.
And Marja, if you read this- when I see you again, I will have sock questions galore- like how you avoid ladders when using double pointed needles, and where you got your bear pattern that you were knitting at convocation for that AIDS charity.
Alright- my love to all of you- hope to see some of you at Girls Gathering, some at Youth event- and some of you not till the summer- but in the meantime- YOU ARE LOVED!
Peace! |
