Such a Good Day

　
It is no secret that it has been a week from hell for some of us. It has been a nightmare, that you cant wake up from. I truly believe the answer to the question "why" will never appear. I have asked myself why a hundred million times regarding 100 million situations - and not once have I ever been given an obvious answer.

Sunday, I decided to wrap up the week by going to a new church. We love our church and church family in Ashland but it is a struggle to get kids clean, dressed, loaded and off to church with out a 35 mile drive. The church we picked is just around the corner. I really believe God sent us to this church. First of all the pastor is an Oklahoma State Alumni which makes Kirt excited because there is finally an okstate fan in this part of he country. The best thing about Sunday & church was that I was able to meet a very nice couple who not only are neighbors (they live behind us) but she stays at home & hosts women’s bible studies. I love to have a network of stay-at-home moms because believe it or not sometimes people really look down at you when you offer your profession.

The best thing about Sunday night was that my family came over for dinner. We grilled hamburgers & like the awesome big sister I am I helped Landon with his science project and slogan for the element Calcium. Being the slowly maturing 8^th grader that he is we decided that while “Get a bone.” is funny that it would likely cause a total uproar from the boys and cause the teacher to not be very thrilled. . . I honestly don’t know which of the 20 we came up with he will chose.

Today was an awesome day - Kirt was off for Presidents Day! We had a great day of R&R which was much needed. My morning started off by me receiving and email stating that I was chosen to be an Ambassador for The official Three Day for a cure!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this news!!

I am so excited to continue on this road of adventure and leadership. Just wanted to leave you with one of my most favorite quotes.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
