So, It really has been too long. I'm sure I have forgotten most of the exciting things I've done these last two weeks but I'll try to touch on some of them.
So we'll start with Easter. We went up to spend the beloved holiday with my fam, all one million of them. And did the annual easter egg hunt with all my neices and nephews. I must say that I have the cutest neices and nephews! And boy do they quickly learn the difference between the sound of an egg with jelly beans in it and an egg with 5 bucks! It was fun as usual to see everyone in the fam. Sharry was in a much better mood now that National Boards is over, that was seriously too stressful. And Tatum is walking now, what the heck. Little Brodie doesn't even look like the same kid as before. and Jessica is almost definitely coming to Pcola for college. Before all of our Easter festivities we all went to the Easter service at church. Then Justin and I taught the 5 year olds in Sunday School (usually my mom's class). Oh my gosh, they are so hilarious. My little nephew Cole is in that class and proceeded to tell the other kids how he prayed for Jesus to make him a better ball player and then the next day he won the game ball at his baseball game. So now Jesus is credited with any everyday miracle that goes on around his house. Like when the trampoline broke he let me know quick that Jesus AND Daddy fixed it. Oh to have the simple faith of a child. No explainations, just belief! And even though we think it so silly for Jesus to have given Cole the game ball........I say, why the heck not. He says in his words he wants to give us the desires of our hearts, and I'm sure that was Cole's number one desire at the time. If God is capable of healing the blind and raising the dead, then certainly he is capable of helping a 5 year old play to the best of his ability, right?!
Ok so, Justin packed up and left for home on Sunday night (being that he had to work on Monday) and I stayed an extra day to go bridesmaid dress shopping with all my sisters. It took no time for Sharry to find the exact one she wanted and so we decided to celebrate by going to Olive Garden, sweet. Well, all good things must come to an end so I headed home too.
Then Tuesday night we had my Grand Opening for Mary Kay! It was so much fun. Who knew that talking about make up and beauty could be so much fun?? Well, okay, I did! haha. I made over $300 in sales and booked another class! I'm so excited about this new business. I really am dedicated now and I really have a passion for it. Plus I just didn't realize how amazing all of our products really were.......ya know! I guess there is a reason Mary Kay has been #1 for 11 years running!
On to other things, we had a double header on Thursday night and stomped both teams..........oh yeah, still undefeated baby! Then Friday Justin took half a day off work and we travelled up to Hattiesburg, Miss. to see his Nanny. She is 87 and is declining fast. But man was she happy to see us. Justin always seems to be able to make her laugh. She's the sweetest, always wanting to be such a little hostess, even though she can't anymore. Keep her in your prayers, she's very down heartened to be in Assisted Living and not being able to make decisions for herself. It would get to anyone I think.
So, we headed back the next afternoon in enough time for Justin to go get Joey (his little brother) and take him to the "Bowl for Kids Sake" at Liberty lanes. Meanwhile I went to a lingerie shower for Kristi. She's the only bride I know who is willing to model her corset with knee high straps for the entire room.......crazy she is!
Oh i forgot to mention that Justin played in a gold tournament this last week and got closest to the pin, which means he won a beautiful stainless steel grill! yay, we didn't have one. So Sunday afternoon we invited Toby and Kurt over to try it out. Man was it good =)
Yesterday Justin left for an overnite trip to Destin, another golf tournament. I hope he does well, I'm just glad he comes back today! yay!
So tonight I have yet another softball game and then thursday I leave for Tally to do my first pedicure party at Audrey's. I am so excited, I just know it will be oh so fun, plus Joanna graduates so i'll get to see that too!
I'll try not to procrastinate on the blogging any longer I promise!
