April 21 BLESSINGS

What a good day today has been. Nothin out of the ordinary or exceptional, just an overall nice day. it even involved LAUNDRY and i'm STILL calling it a nice day!

so, it rained like CRAZY here... and i know it rained everywhere in the "Big Country", but where we live, we got 4 1/2 INCHES OF RAIN in 12 HOURS!!!! i'm not even exaggerating a little bit. overall we got 4 3/4 inches... can you believe that? i've never seen anything like it- our rain gauge was about to overflow! it's awesome... not burn bans have been lifted, and it's looking UP for the the sale of fireworks this summer... hopefully it keeps raining so we don't have to close down less than 24 hours after we open (like we did this past New Year's- that sucked SO BAD! we LOST money...)
i HATE storms, but i like the end result (as long as there are no tornadoes involved)

i am about to grab my kiddo, head to the in-laws' house, and enjoy a nice baseball game (Cubs @ Cardinals) and possibly some pizza. that sounds like a great combination.

*Lincoln just awoke from his nap... i am in the next room and just heard him singing "Halleluiah! Halleluiah!" what a good funny boy i have. he is unbelievable. being a parent is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. if you have not experienced it, i hope you get the chance to... it's such a blessing.

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY! Scott got a major PROMOTION. indeed it is very very good news for our family. mostly for him though because he has been working so hard for years with no good end result, and now we think he's found a job he can stay with until it's retirement time... but anyway, he is now a DISTRICT MANAGER, so that's super great news for him.
when scott was down about th fact that jobs weren't working out, i kept telling him that God had something GREAT in store for us.... now look what's happening for scott!

SO WE SAY WITH CONFIDENCE, THE LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT BE AFRAID ....HEBREWS 13:6
AMEN!
