...it's been far too long! I'm so sorry! But, since I have posted, a LOT of things have happened.
First, my brother Anthony got married! I was a bridesmaid, and it was absolutely wonderful. It was such a beautiful and intimate wedding. To be honest, there were a lot more people there than I originally thought would come for such a small affair. But, it was...without trying to sound like a story...just right. :)
I enjoyed having such a great time with my family. It was such an amazing time.
Also, we watched as much of the Olympics as we possibly could. Both my husband and son were ready to evict me because I wanted ALL Olympics ALL the time! LOL! I was a little fanatical, but I love sports, and the Olympics only comes around every four years! ;D
My mother in law (Mom Roland) had open heart surgery. I was not nervous about the surgery, in fact, I pretty much knew she would be fine...but it was my brothers in law that had me getting all anxious - that and the fact that we had to leave to return to Maryland on the DAY of her surgery!!!!
Initially, her surgery and my brother's wedding were scheduled for the same day (I can't make this stuff up!), but the doctor pushed the date back - and this was not the first time he had changed the date on us. In July, we were expecting a call any day to head to Texas...but they rescheduled to August, and then changed it so we almost missed being with her, even though it hurt my heart so much to leave her.
She's truly like my other mother. No one can replace my Mommy, but my mother in law is truly my mother also. :) I know some of you out there know exactly what I'm talking about.
Sean has completed his first week of Kindergarten! So far, nothing but success! He's happy and so are we! And, yes, we photographed his first day as if he was a celebrity. In fact, as Dray was filming a video of us walking into the school, Sean turned to him and said, "I'm getting really tired of this."
LOL!!!!! I couldn't help but laugh about it, poor kid - we did turn his first day of school into a celebrity paparazzi filled press conference kind of day! ;P
My first day is on Monday, and I'm excited. I had to endure a bit of drama, but trust me, that is for another post. I'm truly excited and so grateful for this school year, and I look forward to all the blessings God has for me and my family this year. I hope that the Lord shines his lovingkindness and goodness on each and every one of you!
Peace.
