Catch Up.....Again

I'm quite behind on blogging and reading blogs, yet once again. But I have to be honest, I have not felt like blogging much and thought for a few days maybe I should stop. But I'm pressing on. I have loved the people I correspond with and those I have met. And I want to maintain those relationships so I apologize for not being up to date in over a week! I plan to try to read some blogs today and catch up throughout the weekend.

Last week, I think it was Thursday, it was pouring down rain when I stopped to fill up my car with gas. This picture is blurry but I thought of my blog friends immediately and tried to take a picture incognigo (I have no idea how to spell that correctly, just sound it out). This "gentleman" driving the humongous truck park catty-cornered in front of the pump in front of my car and nearly had me blocked in!!!! I was not thinking Christ-like and I confess I believe I actually frowned at him when he got out of the truck!!

Thankfully, the car next to me left and I was able to meander around the giant truck!!

This is a very busy time for Bryan right now and I think he may be getting a little overwhelmed. He is working on his Masters project and paper this semester. Plus working full time and trying to fit in the vinyl siding on house. I really admire how he balances everything. I would have had numerous breakdowns by now. I have been blessed over the past week to have had a few quality moments with him. Last Friday we had a date night and our entertainment was Sam's Club and one of our favorite restaurants, Ted's in Norman. We bought random things at Sam's but all we needed and I even found a Christmas present there. We love Ted's set up. Their queso is excellent!!!
The queso is a little blurry but believe me, It is delicious!!!

On Saturday, we made a flying trip to Ada for Bryan to set up one of his deer stands and he cleaned out my Granny's smoke stack/chimney for her wood stove. I told him to wave and pose for the blog.

I was blessed this past Wednesday to have a long lunch date with some great great friends of mine. Two (Vicki and Toni) of them have left our church to go elsewhere so it was great to see them.Left to Right: Heather Smith, Brooklyn, Vicki Sears, me, Toni Waddle, and Toni is holding Brooklyn's little boy, Boston.

I feel so privileged to be included in this group and I'm so thrilled when they ask me to join them for a lunch. We talk politics (gives me indigestion these days), children, scripture, and so much more. We have serious times and oh so many laughs. I'm glad we can maintain relationships no matter where we attend church. These ladies are so kind and loving to me.
