Cold chills, wooowhooos, and hospital rooms

I have a really hard time keeping this blog updated… I don’t know that it matters much because who really reads this (I know, but the 3 of you don’t count because you know all of this before you read it here) but I do it for me. Sometimes I just bottle life (and emotions) and then feel really………….bloated! Seriously I could pop right now!

So here’s what’s new!

I was out of town for work last week… I was only in Pigeon Forge but it was nice to be out of the office. The first thing that I do when I stay anywhere other than my home is turn the air as high as it will go; after all I’m not paying that bill! (I saw that mental note you just made to never let me house sit for you) It was so cold that I had to use an ice scraper on the mirror after my shower… I love to sleep in the cold(as long as my feet stay warm) but I can never get comfy if Shaun isn’t near by so more than anything I just enjoyed having cold chills and sinking deeper into the covers and diving into the Word!

On Tuesday, while I was in Pigeon Forge I got a call from our DCS worker
WOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!…
she FINALLY finished writing our home study (it only took 2 months….) and of course despite telling me several times that she had everything she needed from us there was a form that we didn’t know about and two that had expired (we began this process in august and forms apparently go bad!) I was so excited after hanging up with her that I wanted to jump off the balcony into the little pigeon river but I’m kind of chubby and was afraid that I could jump out far enough to not land on the rocks! When I got back in on Thursday I completed and update the forms and our home study has now been submitted for approval. It has to get a few local signatures of approval and then a few in Nashville. We don’t know how long that will take but we are ok with that for now because next week we are going to the beach! Not really that excited about the actual beach because I’m not a fan of strangers dumping water on me (it’s always awkward trying to explain that I’m not a real whale!) but I do enjoy other things near the beach!

I know this is the most random post(don’t critique my grammar) but I was up late last night in a hospital room… that’s right… I was up late… in a hospital room… with our sweet friends who are about to give birth to their first child! Cade will be here today! I can’t wait to meet him and tell him how blessed he is to have such sweet, energetic, caring and inspiring parents! His life is a precious testimony to just how great our God is! So excited to see what God will do with this sweet child!
