So today has been a day of events. I think in life there are times when you know you are loved and appreciated, but then there are those days where you actually see it. Today was one of those days.
Since it was Veteran's Day, there was no school, so I was able to take my sweet time going about the day. After breakfast, Joey and I braved the wind to go for a walk, followed by raking leaves. (I know, probably not my smartest move to rake leaves when there was wind, but it had calmed down. Plus, it needed to be done.) Leaf raking was followed by some good old TV time, while I mentally kicked myself about how I should work on stuff for school. (I didn't get anything done for school today. I will probably be upset with myself later next week, but for now, I am okay with this.)
So, why do I feel so loved today? The first gift of love, wasn't directed towards me, but I do get to carry it. Another family, who has since come home, is sending a bunch of formula to HH through us, and today I picked up the formula. There is a lot of formula.
The second gift, arrived on our doorstep around 2:30. It was
your BOB stroller! That's right, BOB arrived. Your Grammie, Great-Aunt Kim, Britt (sorry, you were listed, but I forgot you on here), Kathy, Lynn, Annette, and Sherri sent it for you. I am super excited about this. As you can see, I put it together right away. For now, your Black Hawk Hockey Monkey is testing it out.
The third act of love, followed shortly after the BOB. It was your crib and dresser. You can see the box for the dresser in the picture with BOB. Your Dad and I need to get working on putting this together. (I have a feeling it will be a great exercise on communication and patience.)
The final act, came around 5:45. I was supposed to have dinner with your aunts Marcia and Courtney, but we hadn't talked about it and since Marcia had been sick, I hadn't really thought about it. At 4:45 Marcia called and asked if I was still coming over for dinner, I said I had forgotten, but would be there. I stopped at Lowe's first and then headed to Marcia's. As I was pulling up, I noticed there were more cars on the street, but that's isn't unusual, so pulled in the drive and walked in (yes, I do just let myself into Marcia's house). To be honest, I was shocked at what I saw. I walked into a surprise travel party.
Friends from school had gotten together to send your Dad and I off with supplies. (In addition to the awesome dinner and cake. Yes, a Janet cake.) We have wet wipes, bug spray, travel Lysol, wet wipes, mints, wet wipes, travel games, hand sanitizer, travel sewing kit, hand sanitizer, and so much more. What you see above, is only a portion of the goodies. (Yes, my school friends so know how much I hate germs. I really don't like germs/dirt.) I feel so loved. Thank you so much Courtney, Cynthia, Denise, Krys, Marcia, Meghan, Peggy, and Sarah! (Plus, a special shout-out to A, A, and E who joined us.)
