Well, as you can see, I haven't blogged in quite awhile. I was really hoping this was going to be something I would do very regularly. However, time just doesn't permit it these days. There are a lot of things I don't do the way I would like to do anymore such as clean house, read, pray, exercise, keep up with friend/family, sleep, cook....the list goes on and on.
I was fortunate to have a good weekend with my two favorite men. Daniel took Saturday night off (something he is trying to do every other weekend now). This has been great for us, I believe. We had a "date night" and went to Griffin. We were going to go see a movie but the one we wanted to see would've put us a lot later picking up Ethan so we headed back to T-Town. We took the Williamson route and ended up watching 2 hot air balloons for awhile. Then, when we got back to town, we stopped by Wal-Mart and purchased Monopoly (which Daniel ended up forcing me to go bankrupt!!!). This has never happened to me fyi. Funny how we can have a good time together just doing simple things.
Sunday, we went to Macon after church to grab a bite to eat at Taki (our favorite Japanese restaurant). Then, we dropped in on my sister and brother-in-law. After visiting with them, we went to see my old neighbor and very dear friend, Miss Nell. Miss Nell is now 95 years young and still lives alone. Her apartment is still as immaculate as it ever was when I lived back to back with her at the Vistas (in Macon). She is truly an amazing woman and I am proud to have known her. When we visit, it reminds me of chats I had with my own gramama, Betty. She was amazing too and would've been so proud of my marriage to Daniel and Baby E just as Miss Nell was.
We were neighbors when Daniel and I met. I had many a chat with her while I was "waiting" for Daniel. She helped me understand that it was o.k. to be alone and she also made me take pride in being a strong, single woman who could take care of herself. She was and still is invaluable to me.
It's so crazy how much of my life has changed in the last 3 years. Everything has happened in fast forward, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. What a blessing to have a loving husband and a beautiful, smiling baby boy to wake up to and come home to every day.
God is good.
