So this week has been crazy. And horrible. But in the end, it was a beautiful, glorious week!
Monday: Tax day. Seeing as where I work and we were on the income tax call center (this is funny because none of us know any answers to income tax) and the call center received over 8,000 calls Monday! That, my friends, is super crazy! Then, there are the Boston Marathon Bombings. Some Crazy Person set off two bombs at the Boston Marathon. Really- I just cannot understand what people are thinking. I am definitely praying the authorities can figure out who this was.
Tuesday: Tuesday started bright and early with the horrible news that Keith Ingram had died. We are all in shock- I am still in shock. All I can think of and remember right now is how we all kinda became closer during the nursery remodel. Sherrie and Keith (with others) were up all hours of the night at church trying to get this nursery redone in 2 weeks. They were amazing. He was amazing. He enlisted Logan's help to build the cribs that are now in the new nurseries. He was so good with children and loved them so much and how he just took Logan right in and let him help was beyond sweet and amazing. That is really all I can think of right now- it really does not seem real. And, I just keep thinking about Sherrie, Brian, Brody, Mrs. Ingram and Mr. Ingram. I cannot fathom the loss of your spouse or your son. My heart just breaks.
The second part of Tuesday was crazy as well. It does not compare to the heartbreaking, yet beautiful moment that Keith got to meet our Father, but nonetheless... So my days to get my shots are Thursdays but since we are leaving from my work Thursday to go to Tennessee, we had to reschedule with my nurse, Mrs. Linda. She had text me that we could do it (well what I thought was) Thursday right after work at the station next to work (where William used to work). So, that was cool. It finally becomes about 5:15 and my phone goes black. I cannot get it to turn on, nothing. So, I called William, who was at work to just let him know that my phone was not working, sent Gina a message on facebook, etc. I then get in my car to go home and about 3 minutes down the street, 4 lights come on in my car. We have the "BRAKE" light, some light that says "ESP BAS", the "ABS" light and a drunk looking car. So I was like great. Let me call William to see what this is... OH WAIT my phone is not working. Awesome. So at that point I really don't know if the car has gone crazy but is ok to drive or if it is about to blow up. I chose to go with the first and continue driving home. I get to Gina's to get Logan and finally get my phone to reset and turn on. About the time that I receive a million texts and messages, the most important of which is from Mrs. Linda wanting to know where I was, she was meeting me, etc. WHAT? I thought that was Thursday !!! Well, turns out that it really said Tuesday and I had no idea. And, the poor sweet lady was waiting on me for like an hour. I felt so horrible. Then William is trying to tell me to go check all this stuff on the car and I am like, dude I have no idea where or what that part is. SO, thankfully Mrs. Linda rescheduled for Wednesday, the phone seems to be working, and well, the lights are still on in the car. We are hoping/ praying it is nothing too serious, maybe just a sensor. We will figure that out after we get back.

Wednesday: Wednesday was going pretty good- we knew we would have to miss church- I was going to meet Mrs. Linda at the house for my shot and William had to deliver the dogs to my mom. So about afternoon, I got news that one of my friend's mom had died. It was not a huge surprise seeing as she was sick, but I don't think that that fact makes it any easier some times. My heart just breaks for her and her family. I finally got home and Mrs. Linda did the doppler to listen to baby miracle #2. It was so amazing. He/She was sooo wiggly, squirmy, moving like crazy, she had to keep chasing him/her with the doppler. That crazy little baby is EXTREMELY active!!! Praise God for that and I am so thankful that I am seeing this amazing lady that God has placed in our lives once a week! I love her and love that we get to check up on baby every week. It definitely reassures me. Tuesday I was not really feeling the little mango so it was a little in the back of my mind (then all the other stuff happened Tuesday) so it is nice to see her and get to listen to him/her once a week!
Thursday: Well, as I write this, everything is great. Little Mango is moving quite a bit this morning (which I learned that if you do not feel movement, try cold water. Then, cold juice and if that does not work try a coke. I will do this next time I do not feel him/her. Anyway, today is going well, I am not on the phones at all today, my horrible, not-very-nice supervisor is not here so I anticipate a fabulous day. PLUS, William and Logan are meeting me here at 530 when I get off work and we are leaving for Tennessee! We are both super excited for the chance to just relax and get away for a bit. We are definitely Praising God for this opportunity and for the free place to stay. So, we will come back at some point Monday (I am off for Confederate Memorial Day!) and first thing Tuesday morning, we will find out if we are having a little prince or princess!!! And do the 1hr glucose, but really who cares about that when we are finding out the gender!!!!!
So, it has definitely been a crazy week. Horrible with losses, proof that the world is falling apart and chaos. But, it was beautiful. Yes, the weather has been nice and allergies are better, but beautiful that, though Keith is no longer here with us, he is now with our Father in Heaven. He was welcomed with open arms and will never feel pain or sorrow again. We will be heartbroken here on Earth but find comfort in knowing that he is watching over us and we will see him again one day.
