Weekend with mom :)

-
So thursday night i picked up Mom from the airport. We stopped off and watched Andrew coach his lil team of 6 year olds for a bit then headed home to cook dinner. We mostly hung out and didn't do much of anything. It was nice. We woke up 'late' on saturday cooked breakfast, then after loafing around headed to the mall to grab lunch and shop a bit. Mom likes to buy us some things cause she isn't around much to get us stuff thru the year, so we found some great deals and got a few fun things! We took advantage of the free pretzels' from Auntie Anne's to top of the afternoon! Headed out to a local church to hear a sermon with Cowboy player, Whitten that ended up being a video interview...but he is Andrew's fave so we too a chance....then headed to our church to open doors for the lil peeps to view the new Veggie Tales movie....dinner back home and Dessert with the in laws! Its fun having both parents together...we all get along and its nice!
Even though sunday is our busiest day of the week it seems she stuck it thru, and i dropped her off for her evening flight.
Thanks mom for coming, it was a fun relaxing weekend. We loved having you here!
(no pictures, cause who wants to see us sitting on the couch, eating, or in the mall....just imagine it hahaha )

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba
