Birthday Dinner

Today we had a pretty busy day.  First we had the normal monday morning appointments.  It was a good appointment… found out that there is a little girl out there that we may get to know and see how things go, nothing will happen before the middle of August, but who knows. 

I miss hearing kids laughter, and playing together.  When we had 2 kids it was nice to be upstairs and hear them laughing and giggling downstairs.

“S” is showing interest in learning more about LDS.  I am ok with that, but I do have some reservations… 1.  I want him to be fully aware of what LDS is and the beliefs.  2.  I want him to be able to say why he want to join and be baptised.  I dont want him to just do it to do it.  3.  I would like him to explore other religions before he sets his mind to one.  He has not had much experience with religion and I feel that he will go with just about anything right now.

We had the July Birthday dinner with the family, or at least some of the family.  My brother Scott’s family could not be there due to prior commitments.  It mad me sad that they could not be there.. I have not seen my niece or nephews in a LONG time… and I miss them…But I understand they have a busy lifestyle going on right now and can not be at many family functions.

My other brother Shawn was there as were my mom, dad, “S”, and Ted.  It was an enjoyable dinner…I wish we could have more family dinners like we used to, before everyones lives became too busy…

When we got home the painters were here and got one side of the house done… I knew I picked a darker color… but wow… is it darker…

One side of the house is painted and the fence is almost finished being stained.  I hope we get all of this stuff done and then also get the landscaping stuff finished off so we can enjoy the end of summer out in the sun.

I have not heard from “W” in a while.  I did get an email wishing me a Happy B-Day which was nice of him to remember.  His  best friend came home this weekend, and she was out with “S” this evening… she told Ted that she and “W” are talking everyday… so I am VERY HAPPY for that.  At least he still has her as a constant in his life.  She is an AWESOME girl and I am so happy they became friends… She seems to understand him, and is able to be there for him no matter what…

It is back to work tomorrow.  I really wish I felt better… I am feeling like crap.  I have had a headache for 2 days.  Nothing seems to help it at all.  I even wore my glasses all day today… and it is still there…
