My Weekend...its ups and downs

My weekend seemed to be a bit of a rollarcoaster with its highs and lows. Friday night we had originally had our church Christmas party which I look forward to every year. We have a lot of crazy people in our church that do not care to let their hair down and let loose! But our Christmas party was canceled Thursday when news came out .... Nick and I ended up hanging out with four of our favorite people, Chris, Leann, Ezra (who secretly is my favorite hehe) and Isaac. We went to eat at Buena Vista (sp?) in Scottsboror and then all of us gathered to play Joker, love that game!!! I was pretty proud that Husbands and wives did not argue that much this time, we usually end up getting into it. Mainly because Nick and I are so competitive and well he blows steam out his you know what lol. So anyway, I will say this on record, if our twins have a smile like little Ezra I'm afraid I will never be able to say no to them ......this might end up being a problem!

Saturday morning I got to spend with my mother. We baked all morning and I love those mornings. I miss her car pooling with me :-( So it feels like we never talk anymore but we do...just not in person. I baked zuchinni loaves for the older people of my church and some people at work and mom baked cookies galore. Then off to Addison's 3rd birthday....yep 3rd birthday! I can remember when Nick and I loaded up in his Tahoe to go to Gadsden hospital to see the newborn and now she is a high energy, dramatic little 3 year old. They were all so cute with all their friends. Holding hands and laughing and playing. My father in law called it perfect yesterday, he said that Addison would definitely be the "ruler" of all the cousins and he is definitely right! And if someone else tried to be in her way she would just deck them...and I'm not joking lol.

Then Nick and I went to the funeral home to pay our respects. So many people are hurting right now and I hope you are remembering this family in your prayers along with our church family. Yesterday's service was very hard. As we closed the service Nick had closing prayer and you can hear as he prayed for all the broken hearts to be at peace all the sniffs and the silent cries coming from our church family. I will say that I believe our church family has grown so much closer through this and my prayer is that through her death that her friends will come to the Lord. I know her well enough to know that she would be more than thrilled that through her death, people's souls were brought to God. This will be a time of healing but God will never leave us and can pull us through everything.

I still have plenty coming up. Tomorrow I have my association's Christmas party which should be loads of fun. Then we have a church friends Christmas party this weekend and definitely a cleaning day for me needs to be stuck in there somewhere.

I hope everyone had a good weekend!
