Wow! It's been a minute since I have blogged. Almost 2 months! For starters, we are moving to Phoenix. I got a promotion at work and that promotion is taking us straight to the dry heat of the desert! Goodbye LA HELLOOOOO Phoenix. We are scheduled to be in Phoenix on the 11th of August! This will be my last week in the office with my LA peeps! :o( I am looking forward to a new adventure and yet anther chapter...
Bethany has been spending the wekend at our house. She and Courtney have been having so much fun! Yesterday we went to Stacked for lunch. You get to order your food on an iPad! It's fun and relatively in expensive! $50 for 5 people. After Stacked with Nana we headed on our adventure to Build-A-Bear. ALl the kids got a "bear" and an outfit. Kaci got her very first Build-A-Bear. She got a puppy named Penny! It giggles and has a heartbeat! SO cute! Court got Smurfette and Bethany got a dog. From there we headed to Old Navy, the Converse Store, Stride Rite, Starbucks, then finally home. It was only about 3 hours of shopping but I was EXHAUSTED!! LOL.
Once we got home and got settled the girls decided they wanted Hawaiin BBQ for dinner so that was my next destination. On my way home from HBBQ I saw some interesting things...A punk rock concert in a parking lot, a man with his son walking down the street with his son scratching his unmentionables, a man smoking weed in his front yard, and a guy being arrested by an undercover cop....Now I know why I don't go out after dark around here. Yikes!
The girls ended the night with Napolean Dynamite while I ended mine with sleep and King of Queens.
Today I am headed to church. It's worship weekend at Cottonwood. I am excited for the 8:45 service! Should be wonderful.
The Fundraiser...
My bestie Mara is going to set up a fundraiser on http://www.gofundme.com/. The fundraiser is for her sister Kim, her two small children, and her soon to be husband Jorge. Jorge is a bridge construction worker. He got down of the bridge to take his break with his coworker and he was hit by a drunk driver. He is currently in ICU with 2 broken legs and severe brain damage. The MRI and CAT scan originally showed zero brain activity, but now there is some glimmer of hope. He does have reflex brain activity. He cannot open his eyes or speak. Yesterday when Kim leaned over to him and kissed him on the nose she said he grabbed her hand and squeezed it. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!!! I have had everyone I know praying for him and their family. Once Mara has the link functional please spread the word. We are trying to raise money for his hospital bills and some everyday bills for them. They live an hour a way from the hospital and the cost is getting very expensive. Kim makes that drive every day. Even if I could have everyone donate just $5 it would really be helpful. I will keep you posted. Thank you in advance for your prayers!!!
Until Next Time...
