Village

The kid and I headed to a friend from school's house after school today. They were so excited to see and play with friends. It was a good thing for all of us. We all needed a break from each other, from tears, and from sadness. We needed time to laugh, play and have fun. I am so thankful we had a night filled to the brim with laughter and play.  We definitely stayed later than we probably should have. I felt bad that Caleb was pretty much done, sucking his thumb and holding puppy about a half hour before we finally left. The good part was that he went straight to bed! First bedtime in forever that felt easy!!! In any case I am so thankful that God has blessed me with my village: my school, work, friend, church, and family. I don't know what we would do without you all right now.
