What a busy week it has been... last weekend we went to New Orleans for my nephew, Billy's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and it was great to see relatives. Then on Tuesday, we had gumbo for my visiting aunts and uncles. We thoroughly enjoyed their visit and as usual Uncle Hu kept us laughing. He's been doing that since I was a little girl.
Today we were looking forward to spending time with all of Ricky's family for Thanksgiving dinner over here, but Tootsie (Ricky's mom) wasn't feeling up to it and ended up in the hospital. She has been very sick for a very long time and we had so hoped to be able to gather with her today. Please keep her in your prayers. She is getting weaker each and every day.
As I look back over this past year, I find myself amazed at the changes that can take place in a year! Last year at this time I had just begun my chemo and I remember how I was getting acquainted with the misery of the treatments, I had already said farewell to my hair and I was having difficulty finding foods that made me feel good! As I counted my blessings today, certainly at the top of the list are our two new little blessings, Evie and Audrey! They can make us smile all the time! So precious! I am grateful for my health and the love of my family! Particularly my husband and children.
Today we also celebrated Jackson's (One of Matt's boys) 6th birthday! It is fun getting to know the future members of Blanche's new family! Was a challenge today to stay committed to "the healthy diet plan" with all the Thanksgiving food, but we all indulged and can re-commit tomorrow! Tonight we all went over to Bryan and Kristin's to watch ELF! We just chilled out with popcorn and laughed at the goofy show! Now I am enjoying the Paul McCartney Concert on tv! He has been my boyfriend since I was 6 years old! We go back a long way. The best gift I ever got from Ricky was tickets to a Paul Mc Cartney concert in New Orleans a few years ago! It was so awesome!!!
Am hoping all of you had a great day and our good Lord blesses you all abundantly throughout the holiday season! I have so much to be grateful for!
