~ A GOOD SUNDAY ~

well, we got up, dropped our camper off at best buy for them to put in a new radio & then went to church this morning ~ the last time we'd been to church was the sunday prior to me going to haiti with dad & mom & that was in may! ~ we got home after that haiti trip & have been out of town every weekend since!! ~ we're back now & it was great (billy & rachel, missed seeing you!!) ~ after church we headed for chinese (YUM), then it was off to trade cell phones in which took FOREVER ~ then we'd to head back to best buy as the person that was to working on our camper didn't show (hmmm) so we'd to go back & personally lock it up so they weren't responsible (with him not showing up proved that, don't ya think?) ~ after doing that we'd to head back to verizon (cell phone) as my bluetooth wasn't pairing up with my phone, which of course they had working in like 30 seconds (oh well, gas' just like $5 per gallon & we love to retrace our steps as often as we can!) ~ after this, we went for ice cream at handels (that place's awesome, just ask my butt!) ~ we then headed to my parents ~ we were going to grandma's house, but opted to go there tomorrow (monday) so the girls' cousins would be there to play with (lucas, garrett & braedey) ~ after spending some time swatting kids, setting them in time-out & taking everyone for potty breaks (oh, did i say that out loud?) ~ i meant to say, after spending a good evening with dad & mom, we headed home to put those sweet dear cherubs of ours down to sleep ~ we then went to raid the frig (my butt loved that too!) & then we flipped channels on the tv for what seemed like hours to find that we really don't need to own a tv, let alone a big screen tv as there's never anything to watch! ~ this post probably seems like i'm a bit snippy & i'm really not, but had no idea how my day really was until i started posting it!well, on a good note, i hope lil miss maddie caswell (above) had a wonderful 3y birthday ~ we missed seeing you & being at your party, but church held over & we knew we'd be late & with it being a distance away, we'd not be able to stay all that long (boo hoo) ~ i did try phoning mama, but there was major phone problems as i couldn't get through (went to vm right away) so i'll phone your house tomorrow ~ you'll always hold a very special place in my heart as i know how much the devil wanted to keep you in haiti, but god had other plans for you ~ he allowed me to scoop you up (literally), race all over haiti in the wee hours of the morning with you, he opened every door & then some & did it all without your papa & mama knowing what was going on & then to top it off, he allowed ME to bring you 'home' to them ~ i never will forget making the phone call to mama & when she heard my voice she began the conversation like this, "how are you? ~ how was ruby when you left her? ~ i know what you're going through by leaving a child & i'll stay on here as long as you want/need me to, i'm here for ya" ~ she's been such a good friend over the years & value her friendship above anyones ~ then you cried out & on the other end of the cell phone i hear, "WHAT'S THAT???" & the scream i heard when i uttered the words, "it's your baby girl & i've got her with me in miami" was almost deafening to the ears of those in the next state (let alone mine!) ~ we love you little girl & we've got a neat gift for you that i really think you'll like & we'll give it to you next weekend when we see you ~ happy birthday!!
