Mindless Ramblings....





Alot has happened this week... our electric was off for about a day and the kids had a two hour delay... I had to go to my mother-in-laws house to get ready... I was going to get ready at my own house but hairspray and lanterns with open fire don't mix. Andy got his deer back today from the taxidermy... (a close friend) It looks great...now I have two deer in my living room... I have no comment about that...lol....I also wanted to show you a picture of my wonderful deck...it is finished now and I love it...In the background you can see the kids new playground and swing set from the old lumber....

I have some exciting news to tell everyone too! We got our call this week that Drew has been granted a wish from "Make-a-wish- Foundation! We are so excited about it! Drew wanted a hunting trip... but they said that was not a wish they could grant because of the danger of it...lol... So he is picking Walt Disney World! We are so excited.. The date has not been set yet but volunteers should be out to our house to finalize his wish we hope to go in the summer before school starts. I think about Drew and kids that receive wishes.. Not everyone receives a wish... Only those that a Doctor deems critical enough... a threatening illness they could die from... and Drew was granted a wish... I guess I don't always see Drew as critical and about to die but it does make me take a step back and say yes, Drew with us is a blessing from God, and every day and I try to cherish our time together. So, I am thankful to God for allowing this blessing in our life at this moment. God is truly wonderful and knows what each of us need. I am thankful I serve someone who knows me so well! Andy says I am hard to figure out... and I have to admit I am... Have a good night all...and a great weekend! Love you mom and dad!

I like the deck! Does it go all the way across the back?
Tell Andy kudos to him for using the lumber for a play station! What a great idea. The wood is heavy and sturdy!
Good to hear from you! Love Mom

Love the new deck! I'm sure you'll enjoy it this summer. That's neat about Drew. I'm sure your kids would love to go to Disney World! We want to go next February if it works out. Thanks for the nice comment!
