Middle of the week.....

Well here it is Wednesday and I am at home... after a holiday on Monday... Andy came home around 3pm and has been in bed ever since....so Steve and I have been making sure that he was waking up and drinking some coke and taking meds ever so often.. I think he is about over the fever.. we shall see!!!
Ashley is enrolled in school again.. that is exciting.. and today she started getting her books.. we know that she can do an awesome job and hope distractions won't get in the way of that this semester!
Steve is still raising the final money for his trip to Cuba... hard to believe that he will be heading off on that adventure soon... I know that God is just waiting to use him in a mighty way there!! Can't wait to hear the stories.
I am preparing for my yearly trip to Austin.. I thought I only was making three presentaitons this year.. but I think another one may be added for a preconference event... we shall see... I love to share ideas and network with teachers there...
I can't seem to get rid of a headache today.. hope I didn't pick up some of the flu bug germs... we have many kids out at school and teachers too that are having to take their own kids home... I think the flu or something has finally hit our area!
I guess I should be doing laundry today since I am home anyway.. but haven't got that motivated to do so yet.... so I guess I will just lay low until time for rehearsals tonight!

Monday night....

Well... I had a restful day today... woke up in the wee hours of the morning with headache... and kept having to take meds to get rid of it as the morning started... so I just kinda layed low today.. but that is ok... it was a nice restful day of nothing.. my laundry and cleaning had already been done so all was good!!!
Steve came home to work on his brakes mid morning and for lunch he fixed me a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes...sure was good!!!!
Tomorrow we will head back to work and school... TV stations will be on all around my school watching the inauguration! It will be an historic event... not one that I voted for.. but a big step in our history...
Worship was awesome yesterday... my heart just keeps playing the songs over and over... it was a great day! We have an amazing band and the praise teams harmonies were awesome!!! Steve was awesome at leading us to the throne! God is good! All the time! What a blessing it has been to be serving at Fairview again!
I am ready for some really cold and snow... or for spring to hit and the sun to shine... this back and forth weather is crazy..but welcome to Texas right... LOL
Steve spent several hours again on Sunday night for training for his trip to Cuba... that will be coming up very soon... we are still working on gathering the funds and preparing for the trip.. but God continues to bless in so many ways!!! It will be a little nerve racking as he is leaving... because I will be coming in from Austin and prob won't get to see him for two weeks...so that will be crazy!!! I am still working on how to be in Dallas when he is... we shall see!
Ok.. that is all for now... back to resting before the week begins for real tomorrow!

Trans Siberian Orchestra

Well.. Fairview gave us an awesome gift... one that we have wanted to get before....but time and money never allowed it... they gave us tickets to go see Trans Siberian Orchestra at the American Airlines Center... it was pretty awesome!!! http://www.trans-siberian.com/intro.html
We had good seats.. Platinum parking and seating... but I think next time and yes there needs to be a next time... and Andy for sure needs to go.. he would absolutely love it... next time I would sit straight on to the stage so that I can take in every blast of light and flame that hits!!!!
It was awesome.. we had fun... we went with Simon and Heather and Jeremy and Sarah... afterwards we walked to West End and ate at Fridays... thank goodness Saturday was a warm day.. haha!!!
I would love to do that again!
