So, another weekend has come and gone. Saturday was my first full day on my new job, and I worked for the most part all on my own. It was great. I mean, it gets busy and stressful at times, but compared to staying at home with three kids ages 5 and under, it was nothing! Stay-at-home mothers have the most stressful jobs in the world and no paycheck! How crazy is that? Anyway. After work on Saturday I took my kids to my friend's house. Actually it was her parents' house, they were housesitting. Anyway. My friend and her husband had invited me and my family to cook out and swim in the pool. Another of my friends I went to school with came with her husband and kid, too. It was so much fun to be around my girlfriends from school. One of them is a Christian, and we talk a good bit. She's my best friend. I love her a lot. The other isn't a Christian, but is beginning to visit churches. She does my hair. We grew up beside eachother and I love her dearly. But I love getting with my friends. So often I am defined as mother, wife and youth pastor, that it's hard to be ME. With them, I can be Me. Both of them have one child, both girls. So all five girls are in the same age area. They played well together. It was so fun. We sat by the pool and watched them play as we talked and joked and their husbands grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Sunday was church, and father's day. I did talk with my dad Sunday morning, but he didn't come over like he said he would. That's no big surprise. After church I did go to my grandpa's house to celebrate father's day. To me, my grandpa is the greatest man walking this planet... he's right after Jesus..lol. Seriously. There's never been a greater man in my life. I love him. And I don't know what I'd do without him. I'd fall apart I think. And the sad thing is, I see him getting older and older. It's hard. But it was a great father's day. Timmy was there, when just a month ago the doctors said he'd never make it. Praise God! Well, I've rambled enough.

just want to say hi
