Blessed

I have had time to do new posts!!! School was super chaotic for a moment there but now I have had two weeks off and almost feel like I am going crazy with all of this extra time! My house has been "deep" cleaned one to many times and I am prepared for my next semester of classes! A few weeks ago I was so fortunate to go home to Michigan. My boss had said she was going to New York to visit her family and that I would have a week and a half of no work. So I decided to go spend it at home, which was so great because I was there for my nieces and nephews birthday party. All four kids birthdays are within two months of each other and since it would be crazy to plan four birthday parties with my sisters schedule she has one! With no preplanning of my trip I was feeling super blessed to not have missed it! I was also feeling super lucky to be able to witness my second niece Belle get baptized. I might of lost my marbles had I missed that!;-) My Grandpas sister had passed away a few days before I had arrived in Michigan, so even though it was a not-so-wonderful event I was able to be there for my Grandpa and family and attend the funeral. A plus was my Aunt Deb came up from Tennessee to make it to the funeral so I was able to spend time with her as well! The rest of the week was great, my mom took the whole week off and we spent ALOT of time together! My favorite day was we woke up and went antique shopping and thrift store shopping! We found some awesome places all around Michigan!

My cousin Amber is getting married next August and I am her Matron of Honor. I sound so stinkin old being called a Matron. She said she is going to call me her "old maid" from now on! While I was in town we went shopping for her wedding dress. I thought it was going to resemble the time I picked out my wedding dress. I tried on about five and chose one, bought and left with it from the store. Took about a total of an hours worth of time. Not Amber, she tried on about twenty and didn't chose ANY of them. The best part of trying on dresses with Amber is Chelsea my little cousins commentary. :-) Funny how close Amber and I have been growing up but yet we are so different! She will find her perfect dress one day, I know it!!

Ultimately I felt really loved by the Lord this whole week. I think he knew my heart and that I would have been a little heart broken to have missed the baptism, birthdays, funerals and being there for my cousin while she prepares for her special day! How crazy was it that it all happened in a week and my boss happened to chose that week to go out of town when normally she visits her family the first or second week in July!

Psalm 37:4

Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
