I survived!  It’s been a very long weekend and it’s only Sunday morning.  I had a catering job this weekend at the church\u2026 where they were having a workshop.  Friday night I was to have a chicken dinner for 20 people.  Easy right?  I served the plates and was just relaxing when\u2026 my nightmare occurred.  (OK I can’t even say my nightmare because I would never have dreamed this would even happen to me).  One of the ladies came out and said, “I’m not trying to be difficult but I think my chicken is under cooked.”  OMGoodness!!!!  Sure enough, the nightmare continued\u2026 the meat had not cooked.  I was using an oven that apparently didn’t work well.  (I did check the meat before but the one I looked at was fine).  I must say this group was very gracious.  After recooking the stupid chicken\u2026 I think I lost 10 lbs of just stress.  I had come of the nicest ladies stay with me in the kitchen (Thank you, Corry!!!) and probably make sure I didn’t have a meltdown. Yikes\u2026 I am pretty sure I was close to it!!!  The next day, I had 120 people to serve lunch to.  All is well that ends well, so they say!<\/p>\n

We were invited to friends for supper which was perfect because I just needed to decompress and relax.  We were with 2 other couples and sharing how each couple meet, proposed and wedding nightmares.  It was such a great evening.  There is such a gift in friendships that have lasted time.<\/p>\n

This morning I was looking at my blog\u2026 wondering how long I will continue to write, who reads it and what purpose it serves.  I found myself reading back random posts from over the years.  I love that this is a place that is a time keeper of sorts.  It’s a place that someday the boys can come and see my thoughts and memories.<\/p>\n

This must have been 5 years ago\u2026 I’m guessing that Josh would have been 4 ish in this picture.  The changes in the boys in such a short time is crazy!<\/p>\n

This was last summer- the boys and I in Vancouver.  Boys to men.  I do miss those baby days as I loved babies.  Yet this stage is certainly challenging and full of moments that keep you on the edge of your seat.<\/p>\n

I was thinking of how blessed I am \u2026 with this family God has blessed me with.  I was counting it such a gift to have this amazing, wonderful yet drives me crazy man along for this ride.<\/p>\n

As I watched last week a husband and sons say goodbye to their wife\/mom too soon I was reminded to not take my health, my life for granted.<\/p>\n

Hope your week coming is a good one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
