a better weekend
Things are looking up. I mean, I know they have been, but this weekend was especially great because I was actually happy for the whole weekend. And nothing really spoiled it in between or went downhill. But I'm really happy. I think talking to some of the people I love had a part in it. Thursday I got to hang with my best friend and I told her everything that happened to me that week and I made her cry again. And then I saw her again on Saturday and she and Kirstie and I got to bond over breakfast and hang out at the mall. Sunday after practice I went with my sister to Babies R Us and I got to register for my baby shower. AHH! So many good things there, I think that'll become my favorite store now. EVERYTHING IS JUST TOO CUTE!!!!!! Then my Auntie and Uncle from Stockton paid a visit to our house and they came bearing gifts for the baby. Awwwww! My cousin Nowell bought the baby some pink Converse Chucks! They are the cutest thing ever! She also got a pink Nike fleece beanie with gloves, a baby blankey with feet on them, a pajama sleeper, and some bibs. My oh my, all so girly and pink. I know I'm not too fond of pink, but on a baby, especially on my baby girl, she's gonna be the cutest thing! Ahhh, but aside from the gifts, I think the best part about their visit was being able to talk to my Auntie about how I've been feeling. Its kind of cool...I know I haven't seen her in a while, but everything she had to say, it was like she knew exactly what I was thinking. I barely had to say anything and she understood everything that I was feeling. Being such a strong woman of God, she really encouraged me. She and I cried together but she prayed for me and she reminded me that no one is perfect by long shot. Even the Bible is filled with countless examples of men and women who have fell astray from God with sin. Yet, God has delivered them and made something good come out of their situations. Like Rahab. She was a prostitute. Yet, she hid two Israelian spies in her home and God saw her righteous deed. And underneath it all, she was Ruth's mother-in-law. She was King David's great-great grandmother. And she was a matriarch... a direct decendant of God our savior. There's many more people in the Bible, but the main point is that we are all not perfect. I'm not perfect. But God is so faithful and just. And its during those tough times, God can be our solid rock. He has promised he will never leave us nor forsake us. Ahhh, she and I had a good cry and it feels good just to know that my extended family love me just the same... I even got to talk to my cousin Nowell and I wish she can come down soon to visit. Possibly for my baby shower. (Hopefully!) And then last but not least, I got to talk to my baby daddy, Danny dearest, and he informed me that his family has a bunch of presents up there for the baby as well. O_O So many that he'll have to send them in a box down here.. ahhh. She's not even here yet and already she's being spoiled. =) But my baby's gonna be so adorable. I just can't wait till I get to hold her and snoogle up with her and Daddy. Hmm, I guess this is the icing on the cake - 3 more days till Thanksgiving and 4 more days till my hunny bunny comes home!!!! I'm so overfilled with excitement and eagerness to be held in his arms again. Everything that I have been feeling will probably not even mean anything anymore when he kisses me and assures me that everything is gonna be ok. And I know everything's gonna be ok. I just think him being here physically will make everything so much better. AHHH! I can't help smiling at this very moment because its been a long month.
Anyways, we have lots to do when he comes back. But we'll see how that goes. For now, I am happy and must end because.....time to watch Heroes!
