Great Sunday!

Just wanted to update that today was a wonderful day, it couldn't have been better ... unless more of the family had been there. Ellen came and sang and ohh she blessed our hearts. Lisa and I sang and then Todd even got up and sang. Ohh and Daddy sang :).

We had a lot there, even some people from a neighboring church Silver Creek came and stayed for the service...Silver Creek had their home coming today as well. It was some of our relatives. They had a dedication to Mom and Dad and that is why we wanted as much family there as possible. Brad and Kita came. Mom and Dad were so touched by the things said and done today. They sat up front while the entire church made a line and came and hugged them and told them how much they are appreciated. It was so special.

The food was great, I cooked a ton for once. Mom made her dumps. We had a wonderful Fellowship before during and after the food. Ellen and mom and I went to Ray and Nancy's and took them a small album of the pictures from when Eddie and Ellen came. They loved them and we played with Samuel and Eli....ohhh such cute cute babies. Samuel is a ham, Eli is a little shy. But when I was leaving Samuel gave me a hug and Eli talked to me a little so all was good.

We stopped by Ed and Gladys house, but she was gone but I did leave the album with Ed. Elmer already has his. Eddie I will mail you yours soon, Ellen has hers and is cutting her pictures out while I type probably :). Nooo right now she is driving home :(.

PRAY PRAY PRAY that we can find Ellen a good job, she said if there was a job here she would move home, that would be so wonderful.

Also, pray for our get together in July and then all of us ladies are going to Myrtle Beach in October for sun, fun, music, preaching, food, fellowship, hot tubs and shopping :). I am getting us a condo and we are going for a week. I can't wait. So far it is Lori, Louise, Ellen, Mom, Gladys, Nancy, Kita and me.

ALSO...Family reunions are in October as well, Clark and Chapman. I will post more info here when we get it.

OK heading to the inlaws for the evening, just wanted to jot todays happiness down and mom is soooooo tired I think she will appreciate some quietness.

Mom was telling me how blessed she is to have such a great family. She feels like she has two daughters. Lisa has been so good to mom, mom tells me how much she does for her when she is at home. She has been the one during all of this illness that I could depend on, day or night. Scott and I both have came to love and appreciate Lisa and Todd so much...even more than before. I have to say in the past, I judged Lisa and didn't treat her like I should have. I have said things and done things I am so sorry for. I really am Lisa, sorry for so much. You never gave up on me though, you never turned your back on me when I was not the nicest person in the world to you. But Lisa...you are my sister...maybe not by blood but by Christ and by marriage. Everyone in this family should be so happy to have you, and be so thankful for all you do for mom and dad. I love you.

Mom is mom to a lot of people, she is so glad to be getting to spend more time with Ellen and Eddie and though she could never fill Audrey's place, I know she loves you both like you were her own. Her eyes light up every time you are mentioned.
