Life is so full of blessings….one of which is having BuddySlim to come home to.  A place to feel comfortable and not to be judged or criticized.  A safe haven to share stories and hear others stories and journeys.  Somewhere you can just be yourself

I’m so blessed to have become a Big Sister to Katelin.  She is “considered special education” and let me tell you this girl is SPECIAL.  She has touched my heart in a way I can’t explain.  I’m amazed at the love her parents have for her, and I feel with enough encouragement and support Katelin will find her way through this journey in life.  It won’t ever be easy for her, but with some guidance, and lots of love she’ll shine right out there!!

I have so much fun watching all the kids in Special Olympics shine on their big bowling day.  Yup, we were there at 8:00 a.m.  And Yup again, nothing was going to tempt me.  I enjoyed watching them bowl and food was the farthest thing from my mind :)  but not little Katelin (well shes not so little, and she loves to eat) 

 The bowling ended around 10:30 with Katelin coming in 2nd for her team.  She did really well and had fun,  but once it was over all she wanted was lunch.  So off to Subway we went!! Aaahhhaaa my favorite!! and I knew I could find a healthy choice.

The day couldn’t have been any better…fun for all. 

We went to see Dad, and he was in his wheelchair waiting at the front door for us..LOL!!! he was glued to the front window with this big ole shitty grin on his face!! GOD IS GOOD!!!  That was enough to make life so worth living.  To see Dad out of that bed and smiling was priceless.

He has been made this huge turnaround and we can’t figure it out but we sure are thanking God!! Hoping he will be home this week, god knows he is working hard enough.

My scale has sadly gone up 2 pounds.  Not sure what is going on, but I’m gonna just get real serious here.  My vacation is just around the corner and the temptations will be endless.  I have a wonderful mother-in-law, but eating is her favorite thing!!!  She loves food…I LOVE FOOD…OMG!! I’m going to need alot of help!!! but I’ll get through it.

Ok…babbled enough…lots of catching up to do on the blogs.  Hope everyone had a healthy happy weekend!!

You had better take time to pray until Jesus is glorified in your eyes; then you will be able to make HIM glorious to others.

Aimee Semple McPherson

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5
