Whew! What a week!
Today is my day off, but what's even more exciting is my kids have the day off as well since it's a teacher workday. Because he doesn't like to be left out, Eric took the day off from work too. Yippee!
So, we're heading to the mountains for the night even though it's suppose to be raining. We just want to go to wind down from a very emotional and physically exhausting week.
We couldn't leave town until the girls went to a birthday party this morning for one of E's friends. Why rush to the mountains when you can spend 2 hours playing on a giant inflatable backyard obstacle course?
This is the same friend that wrote her a love note this week. They are both in the 2nd grade. For the love.
I was talking to his parents' yesterday and because we know how much they like each other (as friends - they've been in class together for 4 years!), I reminded his father as they grow older, E will not be allowed to date. We're not dating in our home .... just courting. (Yes, there is a huge difference). Anyway, they have the same rules in their home which I think is so refreshing to hear. I talk about this topic so much at church and most of the girls think I'm insane. So to hear there are more families setting the same boundaries pleases me so much. So much.
How did I get off on this subject?
Moving on ...
Yesterday, O and I skipped school and went on a field trip with E's class to the zoo.
We walked what seemed like 462 miles, but the girls had a blast. O was a big hit with all of E's friends. I'm not even sure she had to walk that much because she had a lot of 2nd grade fans carrying her most of the time.
Isn't she beautiful?
Okay, we're heading out the door to .... ummmm .... rest.
If you're reading this (somewhat boring) post and you are prompted to do so this weekend, please remember my family in your prayers. We're going through some heavy things right now (each of us in my immediate family - among other things, my parents are traveling now to Tennessee to be with my uncle who suffered a stroke this morning). God is the ultimate Comfort and Healer! We know this and want to rest in that promise over the next few days and weeks.
Have a great weekend!

Have a great and restful weekend in the mountains - ahhhhh! I would like to hear more about the concept of courting versus dating. You can contact me from my blog via e-mail when you get a chance :)
God bless you and your family,
Debbie
The mountains sounds like the place to be, the leaves are amazing right now:-)
Hope you have a peaceful time away. Praying for your family.
