Our church has two services. One at 9am and one at 11:15. We prefer the 9am because if we go to the 11:15 service it feels like dinnertime by the time we are finished. (Not really- but that’s how it feels)<\/p>\n
It is really hard (almost impossible) to get my late sleepers up for the early service, especially when I’m by myself. We went to the late service today because I didn’t even want to try to get them up.<\/p>\n
We went to church and then out to lunch with a few folks.\u00a0That was pretty much our whole day.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I decided to take the kids to Disney World next month. I hate winter and the thought of being in Florida for two weeks in February makes me very happy.<\/p>\n
The kids are excited and I was able to get a free room because of all my hotel points. Hopefully the upcoming vacation will make the next few weeks easier.<\/p>\n
Of course Cora has already asked twenty-five times how many more days until we go to Disney. Maybe I should have waited to tell them.<\/p>\n
My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.\u00a0 These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.\u00a0 I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.\u00a0 To read from the beginning, click here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
