Philippians 4:8-9

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Birthdays, Egos & Softball!!!

Whew!! What a weekend! We were so busy, but it felt really good all at the same time! It all started on Friday night, we went over to Christopher & Leanne's house for a "game night", Lets just say Christopher and I kicked butt!!:)
Saturday, was Christopher's birthday, so Leanne was throwing him a surprise party!! Best EVER party thrown in 24 hours!!!!! So Saturday was spent, running around planning & getting & decorating!! The kind of stuff that I really love, and it fuels me...

So Christopher was completely surprised!! Yay!, the decorations are looking amazing, everyone is having a GREAT time (including me.)
One of the downfalls of having the gift of hospitality, is that you are always making sure everything is going smooth, everyone is happy, candles are all lite..that kind of stuff..Well I spotted 2 candles that needed to be lite, so I rush inside to grab the lighter, and unknown to me the screen was shut...BAM I totally ran in to the screen...and if that weren't bad enough, I couldn't stop myself from falling on it..so I fell on the screen through the door and bent the frame & crushed my EGO...!!!!!
Now if I was a VERY secure person, this would be soooooo funny, and I would Laugh at myself and make a funny joke...but being the person I am right now...I was mortified....Leanne came in to check on me, she was so sweet..she laughed but also was compassionate, Travis was just concerned that I had hurt myself, and I was in tears...
Tanya "gave me a little time", then checked up on me..
The sad but funny part was, that I wished I could just laugh it off & continue to party!!!!..but I'm very thankful for friends that are concerned for me, even if it was through their laughter..

I'm totally over it now, and have been able to laugh at it!! Thank you Becky for the advice:)...but it did teach me to NOT take myself so seriously, and just laugh more, fall less, and relax always!!

Whew.....our weekend isn't over yet, Travis is now on a softball team, he had his first game over the weekend!! He did really good, so Yay for my sweetie!!!

So glad you have good friends to play with, but do be careful, dear. Thought about you as I was fixing dinner last night. I miss you 2 coming in from work and hearing about your day. I almost called to invite you to dinner, but didn't have enough meat thawed out. Love you--miss you. MOM
