Surrendered

It is hard for me to believe, but my husband and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary yesterday.  It should have been a joyous day, but I was laid up in my bed suffering with Sciatica. Yes it is a great to be married for 25 years, but that also means that I have aged 25 years and my poor back is feeling it.  Many have asked what we are going to do to celebrate this milestone, but Dan and I are just enjoying having our oldest son home right now.  We may do something later in the year, but for now we are content in just loving each other and exchanging love letters.  The letter he wrote me was very special and made me just love him that much more.  I really am blessed to have him as my lifetime partner.  He says, he has been sentenced, 25 years to life. Believe me this is one sentence I will serve gladly with him.  

Today I have a day off from work to be with my son and while he is still sleeping I thought I could share some random thoughts. God's goodness is better than anything I could imagine. I have the most wonderful husband in the world and he loves me. My boys are a huge blessing to me.  I don't think they can even begin to understand how proud I am of them. My parents are absolutely the best.  If I could choose my parents, I would choose them. My friends are the best encouragers.  They build me up and make me laugh a lot. My job is really great.  My boss and my employees are the best all around. My church is really on fire for God and believes in servanthood. I like my new haircut, I have a wonderful hairdresser. My dog is old, but I love her. I am blessed. All these things I am thankful for.  Leave me a comment, and let me know what you are thankful for.

Jeremiah is Home!  My mother and I went to pick him up at the airport around 10:30.  We didn't wait long before he was walking toward me.  When I saw him, I thought there is no better place for that boy than home.  He was all smiles as he saw me and ready to get home.  When we got here, he waked room to room making sure nothing changed and our beloved dog Sassie was happy to see him.  We (me, Tim, Jeremiah and my mom) had lunch at Colima's and then back home for a movie and nap.  Charlie and Joey arrived home from school to greet him and all the boys were together again.  It did this mom's heart good.  

Tonight was prom night.  I must say that my son, Charlie, looked mighty fine.  His girlfriend Sam was also very pretty.  While she was at the beauty salon getting her hair done, Charlie cleaned his truck and then asked me to do his hair.  I guess it was Sam's suggestion.  I believe she wanted it to actually look combed for their pictures.  Anyway, I think they looked cute.  What do you think?
