It's a good day after all....

This morning was a DISASTER!! My sister and I have been planning our sister in law's baby shower the past month... but for whatever reason (maybe the fact that I am my mother's daughter in every way) I procrastinated and went shopping for everything LAST NIGHT!!! Including the cake, which was by all means my fault. However, I absolutely LOVE Publix cakes, they are fantastic so off to Publix we went. Yes, my loving husband has put up with me all night last night and today (though I know it was a struggle). We found a good cake, all baby-ish and cutesy, and have it be our luck, no one is in the cake department, I had to go get icing to write something on it myself!

So that is where my bad morning kicks off... the writing STINKS!!! Totally!! And I was kicking myself for it. Instead of handing it to God, and say "I did my best" I really let it get to me, and the day slid down from there... Poor Ken even made reference to my head spinning around... which didn't help his case any, but he didn't seem to get that.

However, on the long trip to Jay, since Ken and I were not talking (for sake of not killing each other) I had a chance to pray and give it over to God, and I have to say, by the time that we made it to the church, I was at peace with everything. Thank goodness because then the fun begins! Lots to do ....

and Cleaning Up



And I am by no means complaining, because it was fabulous. I was able to spend time with my family, love on my nephews, feel my niece moving around, and giving to someone else. I can honestly say, the one thing that can cheer me up aside from everything else going on in my life, is giving. It is such a refreshing feeling.

It was so nice to see Chris there and just as excited as Becky about their new bundle of joy. I cannot wait to meet my niece, Analia. She is already touching hearts, God has GREAT THINGS in store for her. Just like Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
