21 Again and Traveling . . .

What does 21 + 21 = yep my 42nd b-day!! I've had such a GREAT last few days!!! Really it started on Saturday. Dick took me to town (Springfield) and got my b-day present ~~ yep The Message Bible. I've wanted one for a while, and even had it picked out, and at a GREAT price!! Love that!! So then after we did that we stopped and got a soda on the way home. Now you may be wondering why I even mention that, but my man and I do not get to spend a lot of quality alone time right now. Which is really okay, because of the season we are in in life ~~ we wouldn't trade it ~~ so when we get a few minutes to our selves we definitely take advantage of it. Sodas from a gas station fountain ~~ delish ~~ time spent with hub drinking said monster fountain drinks ~~ PRICELESS!!!!!!!!

Well on the way home I got a very strange phone call from Dakota. He wanted to know how close we were to being home and which door we'd be going through. Yep very suspicious!! I asked him why and he said cause he'd been sweeping and he had the broom in front of the door leading to the garage. What?!? So I asked him what he spilled and he said nothing he just wanted to sweep the floor!! Yeah sure you did, oh 16 year old ~~ you're not foolin' ol mom ~~ oh no you're not :0)

So I told him we'd come in the front door, but then when we got home Dick put the garage door up so I actually ended up going through the garage door, fully expecting to have to move a broom and finish cleaning a mess.

Well, I came through the door and this is what I found on my floor ~~
Yep flowers and sock feet!!

And then more flowers . . .
Hey the flowers are making a path . . .
To what you might ask? . . .
Only my favorite chic flic ever !! ~~ Ever After ~~ and the sweetest card ~~
seriously THE SWEETEST!! from my boy!!
OH YES YOU DO ROCK, MY BOY!!

So let me just tell you what the child had to do to get said movie. I used to have it on VHS, but we do not have a VCR that works right anymore, so I couldn't watch it. Well, Dakota got birthday money on his birthday a couple of weeks ago, and so he went to WM to get this movie for me, but they didn't have it. So what's a child to do? Yep he ordered it!! What?!? You can do that? Well apparently you can!! So it came in on Saturday, but I had no idea!! He hid it from me, so I'd be surprised and then he did all this!! He is too good to his mama ~~ let me tell ya!!!!!!!!!! It was just GREAT!!!!

So I have really had a weekend of birthday fun!! I think I love extended birthdays :0)

Well now to the traveling part. I got a call from my doc's nurse and Mayo accepted our case!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! We will be going to Mayo on October 3rd. I don't have any other info right now except that we are to be there on this date and there is a packet of info on its way to us, even as I type this!! Hallelujah!! I will let you know info when I have it and can process it in this 42 year old brain of mine :0)

Thank you for your continued prayers for us. I will keep you informed.

"I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1

Praise His Name!!!!!

Love, Dawn
