Wonderful Weekend

Hello everyone, I would like to tell those who read my blog about my weekend even though the ones that read my blog are the one pretty much doing the same things I did how funny is that but for those bloggers who are not with me often here is an update.

On Friday evening we had the honor to go to Paul's/others National Board Certification reception and it was so great. It is always nice to have family that cares and will support you. Family is so important because as I was sitting upstairs with all the others I got to looking and we had almost a whole isle filled with just family for Paul. Paul worked hard and we will probably never know how much effort he put into this but I know from watching him it was no easy task. So CONGRATS TO PAUL WE LOVE YOU! Afterwards we all went to the Fish Market (which isn't my favorite but I can always find something like Chicken in something like Pasta). And again all the family went there also the fellowship, the laughter and the talking is so addicting that you hate for the evening to end. This family has such a strong bond and I am so thankful to be such a part of it. I love you all very much and I enjoy each and every day with all of you.

Saturday was not that active of a day, I slept sorta late and enjoyed it so much. I stayed home and just hung out there. I have started playing Bingo on Yahoo and it is so much fun, I called it the I'm to old to keep up with the cards. I couldn't believe it was such a challenge, but for me it was.

Sunday is always such a great day for me and my family. We went to church and church is such a safe place to be. David always has such a great uplifting lessons. After church we went home to eat. We ate steaks, corn, salad, and peas it was great just all of us sitting at the table with each other. These occasions are getting rarer and rarer. I cherish my family so much, I enjoy every minute we have when we get it. Then we went to see mawmaw and pawpaw and I would like for everyone to please say a special prayer for the both of them, mawmaw is very sick. She is such a precious person and all her life she has done for others unselfishly. Pawpaw has been having some breathing problems so please remember him he seemed to be doing good today he was talking non stop. After church we came home Theresa and James was at the house and they had brought homemade Chicken soup and it was the best soup ever. The visit was good and we laughed and laughed about everything.

Monday Billy had a dr.apt at 8 and everything seemed ok. We both had an eye apt. and Billy's eyes were the same which surprised me and my eyes well just let me say they had changed big time. I am not getting new lenses because in Oct. my insurance wil cover almost all of new frames in Oct. so I am going to wait till then to get new frames.

Oh by the way Billy and I went to see the movie TWILIGHT I am not going to say much about the movie but I will tell you it is just wonderful I loved every bit of it, I was so shocked that I liked it so much. But please everyone go and see the movie.


Guess this is long enough. Mary

Christmas udate and much more

Hi! How is everyone doing? Great I hope! We are doing ok except that Billy is now sick, he has been throwing up and not feeling so well, he has the chills and can't seem to get warm, he is so worried about me getting sick but I feel like I will be ok someone has to take care of him.

Ok, Christmas was great, I was so happy to be able to get up and fix our BIG Breakfast for the family, everyone got to our house about 10 and the food was good. Christmas was different in many ways number one was Kim and the kids didn't make it because they were all sick and I tell you what I missed them so much and so did everyone else my house was not the same. Paul came by and ate and off he went, he went home to care for his sick people. And I really felt great, I made it just fine and I am so thankful for that, the Lord has blessed me so much in so many ways. So Kim and Paul can't wait till next Christmas and yall can't leave until midnight lol.

We spent New Year's Eve at Roebuck Pky Church of Christ with Daniel and his youth group. Mark drove the church van and several went from our church. Daniel had games and singing planned and of course there was food and it was delicious. We had singing which started about 11:30 and we sang in the New Year, all I can say is the singing seemed a little off for some reason I just couldn't put my finger on it and I wasn't even singing real loud.haha.

I didn't really make any New Years Resolutions but I did set me some goals reasonable ones. 1. Always remember God gave me everything that I have and never take things for granted.
2.Wake up everyday and say a prayer and go to bed every night with a prayer.
3.Say I love you to my family as often as possible more than I have been.
4.Wake up ready every day to make the best of every minute of the day. Don't take anything for granted.
5. Live life to the fullest.
6.Make a call to someone who is sick,or in the hospital or is just down and out.
7.Let every one know that I am a christian by the way I live and I want to be a good example to those who know me and those who are getting to know me.
8.Never forget where I got my second chance of life, GOD, THE DONOR, THE DONOR'S FAMILY I want to always say a prayer for them life has got to be hard.
9.I want to try and help my father as much as I can or as much as he will let me. Because I want him to meet me in heave with my mom standing beside me with open arms. I truly believe that it is never to late.

I guess I am going to end this I hope you are not to bored with my posting but it is the best I can do for now. Take care and I hope everyone has a great New Year and I hope all your dreams come true.

Love you all Mary.
