Smile!

A friend on my Facebook shared this on his profile this morning. It made me smile and realize that our society focuses so much on the negative and it's hard not to get caught up in all that negativity...I know I do at times. So I just had to share this and pass on the message.

Psalm 118:24 (New American Standard Bible)
This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

We had a pretty mellow weekend. It rained a ton on Saturday. Which led to a humid Sunday. But that's okay, it good for my flowers and grass. Madeline had her first schoolmates birthday party to attend on Saturday evening. It was at the Inflatable Party Place in San Marcos. One of those warehouses with those huge jumpy things to jump and bounce on. When we arrived we found out Madeline was the only classmate that showed up, all the others that had rsvp'd got sick and didn't want to come out in the rain. Madeline and James had fun though playing with the birthday boy and all his cousins.

Stephen has been working a lot of hours. They are back on mandatory 6 day work weeks which = hardly any family time. Hopefully that won't last for much longer. His boss also put a restriction on the company cars the managers can take home, only compacts until they get their NPS (customer service) score back up. I was sort of excited because that means Stephen would maybe bring home that Honda Fit or VW Beetle that I've been wanting to test drive (Stephen thinks a lot of the compact cars are too girly). Anyhow, the good news is they recently made their quarterly bonus which means Stephen will have the money to buy that HD flat screen TV after Thanksgiving.

We're looking forward to tonight's Monday Night Football game - Brett and our Vikes take on the Packers! Should be a great game!
