Randomness?

I don't have much randomness to share this week.  In fact, I can hardly keep track of what day it is.

Today, I am remembering the Veterans I've known in my life.  Each one of them had an impact on my life in their own way.  Specifically, I'm remembering Herb Ferney, Eldon Maize and Marty Stutsman.  All great men who have now passed on to the next life.

I'm also thanking God for our men and women in the service today.  The sacrifice they make every day never ceases to amaze me.  Thank you!

I'm slowly coming back to myself.  The pain in my heart is starting to turn to peace.  I still miss Miles terribly and think about him constantly, but my thoughts have started shifting toward the happy memories instead of the sorrow of the last moments.  Thank you so much for hanging in with me over the last week.  It has absolutely been one of the longest and hardest ones I've ever experienced.  I hope to be back to regular posting next week.

What's on your agenda for the weekend?

I'm contemplating pre-ordering Horrible Bosses from Redbox for tonight.  Have you seen it?  Should I?

I have LOTS of orders to paint tomorrow, and Sunday we're going to the Chiefs/Broncos game and have small group in the evening.

Only two weeks until Thanksgiving!  And Six until Christmas.  Deep breaths, people.

Not so random...

I didn't record much randomness this week, and what I did record was really just glorified complaining.  I decided not to put that out in the world.  It's Friday, and I'm sure the last thing you guys need is some negativity poured all over it. 

Instead, I just wanted to tell you all that you rock!  Really, you do.  You are a bright spot in my day, every day, and I'm so thankful for each and every one of you who come visit me in this place.  I'm so blessed to call you my friends!  I hope you all have a glorious weekend planned! 

Today I am remembering my cousin.  Five years ago today she gave her life in an effort to save her friends.  There is no greater love.  {John 15:13}  I cannot believe it's been five years already.  There is so much I could say here, but I'll just say this:  Jessica, I have not forgotten you, and you continue to inspire me to live, to love, and to relish every precious moment of this life, for we are not promised tomorrow.  My only wish is that we had known each other better. 

I have some packages to ship this afternoon and a birthday present to make for a first birthday tomorrow.  It's been ages since I've been to a first birthday party, and this one's gonna be super special cause it centers around some of our favorite peeps.  It's so fun to be a part the lives of our friend's kids. Love those babies!

There will also be an evening lake trip, meeting up with friends, and hopefully some snuggles with my man.  We've had a busy week, and I sorta miss him. 

Thanks again for being so wonderful to me.  You guys really are the best.
