A little Pampering...

So this week has been a busy and crazy week as always! I was trying to enjoy my last week before I head back to school this next week. I will be in school on Tuesday, Wed, and Thurs nights this semester. Luckily, I found out that I won't have to go every Thursday night! It is an online class too! I am happy about that one. Don't get me wrong I love school, but with Steve leaving it will be much easier to be gone only two nights a week! He leaves on the 16th of Feb and my grandma flies in that same day! Did I mention before that my grandma is coming out here while Steve is gone? I can't always remember what I blog! Yes, she is coming out here with a one way ticket in case she wants to leave before the six weeks is up! I truly won't blame her if she choses to leave early. So, I have some exciting projects planned out for her and I while she is here. We are going to have a good time together and she will keep me company while Steve is gone!
Anyways, this week I have lost NINE pounds! That was as of WEd, which is not my weigh in day! Hopefully I will have lost another pound by Monday! Since I have been working out so hard and eating healthier, I decided to treat myself a little. Wed. I went and had my hair done, which was needed so desperatly! I mean DESPERATLY! With three kids (now four) I am always last to get taken care of! I LOVE my new hairstyle! It looks great and I love my hairdresser. His name is Erasmo and he is awesome! Then today I go and get my nails done and while I am there I decide to get my eyebrows waxed! I hate plucking them by the way. As I was getting my eyebrows plucked, memories came flowing back of the first time I had them done. We lived in the Azores and my girlfriends all convinced me to go with them to Praia to get them done. It was about four of us and we all payed 4 Euros to get our eyebrows done. I was laughing thinking of what a site we probably were. Four American gals walking down a cobblestone road with BRIGHT RED eyebrows! I miss the Azores when I think of moments like these. I had some great friends and great times while we lived there.
One last thing before I go! I have to make this quick. This week Chelsea was diagnosed with ADD. We started her this morning on her medication and we are praying that this is the proper diagnosis. I drug my feet on this for so long due to it being so overly diagnosed. I am going to blog about it more tomorrow or Monday because I want to take a whole post to talk about it. Please pray for us as we go through this time of trasition. It has made me look at Chelsea in a whole new light. I know that sounds funny, but like I said I will explain more later....
Lord, I just want to thank You. Thank you for blessing me with the means to be able to take a little time to myself. I don't take this for granted one bit and appreciate everything I am able to do. I am so grateful for the family I have and thank You for that blessing. Thank You for my wonderful husband Lord. I am so grateful that you put him in my path each and every day. I don't even want to think about where I would be today if I hadn't met Steve.
Please be with the Church tomorrow as we have our Annual Meeting and make some big decisions as a Church. I want to always give you all the praise and the Glory!
In Jesus' name we pray....
Amen
