I have a few things bugging me this morning and I'm not sure which to speak of. None of which are of great importance in life but in general. I think I will start on a positive note. Last night I went out with some friends to dinner. We laughed and talked for hours. It was so fun and just what I needed. The other 3 ladies and I were very like minded but not so like minded that it was boring:) It was fun...truly something I need to stop canceling on. We went to a beautiful Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. This place felt like it was a little piece of Mexico cut out and place right there. A lot of places try to fabricate this but this place was able to do it. You walk through huge wooden doors that were built in 1809 into a patio that resembles a little village. There were tables set outside all over with lights over head and colorful streamers everywhere. There were flowers and trees encapsulating the entire piece of Mexico. The inside was just the same. The food was delicioso (sp) and the wait staff was perfect. I came home to my family and happy to see that they were all cheerful and ready for bed. My Sweet Love had to rush home and to take them to soccer practice. He was behind schedule and they were late BUT they got there and that is what counts. He did that for me:) He rushed and took them happily w/o grumble, negative remark, or comment to make me feel like I was putting him out. He did that for me:) Yep, he's awesome. I think he's awesome not so much b/c of that. That is a perk but there is a special quality that my Sweet Love has that a lot of men don't. Do you want to know what it is?
He's receptive or responsive...hummm I'm not sure which would be the right word so let me explain. Nobody is perfect. My husband is certainly not...I'm not and I'm sure unless it's Jesus reading this you're not. There you have it...I hope that's not news to you:) My Love is a very focused and goals driven man. This is great for the field of work he is in and it is great for life but the focus can sometimes get too focused. When this happens it's not good. Pressure builds, little things become huge, and the joy is sucked out of life. My Sweet Love gets this way sometimes...He has a very strong personality so "telling" him won't work. He's so smart and quick on his feet with his words that if I try to fuss it's no good b/c an hour later I'll think of what I should of said about his 3rd argument:) So, I've learned the best way to express my slightly harsh opinions and what I feel is right...I usually am right b/c I don't ever say anything harsh unless it doesn't fall in line with biblical reasoning....is by writing a letter. I pray over the letter and really put a lot of thought about how the words should say so that they aren't taken wrong and so that they are received in his heart. It is his heart that I want to touch. When I say My husband is responsive I say this b/c if I get to a "letter writing" point...there a reason and he has never ever ever ever not once read one of my "letters" and not done something. He usually understands where I'm coming from and tries to find a way to make things right. I'm not one that has to go on and on about something. So, I'll leave the letter and sometimes we'll talk about it and sometimes we won't. If there is change w/o talk I'm cool...If there is no change...well you betcha I'm gonna need to have a sit down. I understand men are different which is why I think my letter thing is great b/c it gives my love a chance to see my heart w/o having a chance to make a mistake and react harshly. It also gives me a chance to get it all out in a thoughtful way with a clear head so that 3 hours later I'm not wishing I'd said this or that. OK...Done with that:) Yes...I'm very blessed to have an extremely awesome hubby...not only is he responsive, handy, hard working, but he's is good looking;)

Football Drama:
I know I live in TX...I know. But people people people~
So, the story starts like this....I live in a small town in TX that LOVES FOOTBALL! Well, they love sports in general. They have had a youth football team for about 10 to 12 yrs. The lady the started it was (I thought) a very nice clear headed (again..THOUGHT) lady and is still in the community today. Last year she step down as president b/c her kids had been out of the youth part for awhile and it was time to pass the torch. I was the treasure and knew that in the years past there had been some pretty shady business going on with the money. Why on earth was there no money!? I was so ready to take on the challenge to get thing clearly straight and show them what honesty looked like. This was until the the board did some shady business of their own and elected a coach that should never ever ever have been elected...this coach would be coaching my son. He had coached my son before and we always said if ever he were to be the coach again we would pull our son out. So, that is what we did. We told them to either shine light on the shady business or we are out and will have to make a stand for what is right and good! So we did...We went and played somewhere else not too far away. It was a great experience. The organization was wonderful. The new board for our towns Youth Football league decided they would go to that organization. Here's where the drama starts!
>>>Need to wake kids and get ready for Co-op so I will post the Drama later:)<<<
