Girls day!

Today was girls day with one of my best friends. We spent our morning shopping. It has been forever since I've gone shopping with a friend. Although I found many pieces of clothing that I liked, I decided not to purchase anything today. My goal is to get into smaller clothes and I currently have several pairs of jeans and capris in my closet just waiting for me to be able to fit into them. I did find the cutest hat for my little man. He loves hats (almost as much as my 17 year old). He seems to be drawn towards fedoras lately. While I was at Burlington I was able to find the "Agent P" hat that he had seen before. It's the cutest hat!



It's amazing how much kids grow! We were visiting with my parents yesterday and my dad was just amazed at how tall my 17 year old is. He thought they were about the same height... LOL. He didn't believe me so he said they needed to stand back to back... Talk about some serious denial! My dad thought my son was standing on a stuffed animal. My 17 year old is 6'3". I think he's the tallest person in our family! He towers over his short mama (I am a whopping 5'). He plans to try out for college basketball this year.



Tomorrow we meet with the Dr. to go over the do's and don'ts for hubby's surgery then off to the hospital to do all the pre-op paperwork. We are now just a few days away and I am praying there will be instant relief for him!

I know that a few weeks ago I was complaining about feeling like I am not doing enough. I think it was the next day or two that things in our lives got chaotic. That was God telling me to be grateful and giving me a gentle reminder that I am where he wants me to be. If I didn't have the time that I do, then I wouldn't be able to do the things for my family that I need to be doing. I have been able to be sure that with everything going on that my family has meals and they aren't eating a quick burger or a bag of chips or whatever their stressed out go to food is. I wouldn't have the time to help a family friend who is in need of our help. There are just so many things that God has put upon me in the last couple of weeks, all of which I welcome. It's amazing how perfect God's timing is, but in the same breath I feel I shouldn't be amazed because its God and he knows the plan and its just completely perfect! (I am not sure that came out the way I wanted, but it's an amazing thing regardless!)
