I hope you had a good day.  We did.

I put all my woes out of my head and enjoyed the day with the love of my life.  :) 

We went to first service at our church today … our middle two were on the worship team so we stayed through second service worship.  What a joy.  We were asked to gather around the dads and pray for them.  Every single year, I cry and am completely incapable of praying for my hubby.  I had to ask the kids to do it.  Why?  I am so, so grateful that my children have what I never had.  They have a father who loves them is there for them.  I told him on the way home, when I started crying again, that it isn’t out of sadness that I cry but sincere gratitude for who he is.  Another fun thing is that our daughter’s boyfriend’s dad did the sermon today.  He did an awesome job on sharing the importance of being a daddy. 

On the way home, we stopped at the meat market and fruit stand and bought dinner…steak, baked potatoes, and fruit!  Yum!  Lovin’ those fiestaware dishes!

We surprised hubby big time this year.  We all went together and got him tickets to Kenny Chesney and Brooks & Dunn.  He was so shocked and soooo excited!  Too bad I have to go with him….haha!  Actually, our oldest daughter, the bride, really had her heart set on taking him by herself but the concert is the day she gets home from her honeymoon, she’ll be in the air during the concert.  She apologized for me having to go.  lol    I am really excited about it!

We have more than one imp:

After dinner, we drove an hour and a half to see the house the newlyweds will live in.  Once again, we went in 2 cars…no options there…and I wish I would think to take a picture of the little imp twisted around smiling at us.  I had to call Dad and ask him to make him turn around because the mom in me said this was totally not safe!

The house is pretty cool!  It’s an older house with lots of quaint touches.  The bride is not excited about the green carpet, though!  Anyway, there is a floor vent in one of the bedrooms and the groom said he’d go down and talk to the little imp through the vent. 

Waiting….

Here’s where it gets silly.  We waited, and waited.  No groom.  Finally I went downstairs and hollered to him, he was somewhere else in the house, so big brother and I went under the vent and talked to the boy.  He got so excited, he wanted to come down and do that himself.

Ok, then we started trying to find the groom.  When we called him again, he answers us from the basement!  We asked him why he was down there?  Trying to find the vent!  LOL  He had no clue that we were already done playing the game.

To be fair to him, he hadn’t looked down it, so he had no idea what was underneath and in an older house, it’s kind of funny how many directions you can go!

Anytime the imp sees a closet, he attempts to visit Narnia.

All he managed to get was a dirty face.

Tomorrow starts the crazy week.  The bride and I head out of town at 8 to get some ribbon … we have NO craft stores here and get to drive an hour to find one!  We have a few quick errands to do, then get to my sisters to do the table decorations. 

Somewhere in there, I hope to get a call in to get my laptop taken care of.  This is awful, I keep realizing what I have lost access to….like email addresses (help me!)  I can’t get in to my business email account until I call the provider because I can’t get the setup to work.  Gosh, what a pain!

Sock progress:

I am almost done with the heel flap.  I knit in the car but slept part of the way.  I was also getting multiple text messages that were greatly interfering with my sleep. 

I do hope you had a great day!
