Another Answer to Prayer . . .

Thanks for all the prayers.  Just wanted to update you all that during the last couple of days I have been feeling a lot better.  I'm still waiting for my next cycle to be over before I consider this all behind me, but am enjoying not being so sick.  I thank God for that!  

As well we have had another answer to prayer this evening.  Mark's work had a strike vote last week.  The  results were 98% in favour.  Then we were given the heads up that a strike would be happening if an agreement was not met by Sunday afternoon.  Well, Sunday afternoon has come and gone, and they have a plan, so the strike is averted.  Yeah!  Thanks God.  And thanks to those of you who knew about it and prayed.  Sorry that I didn't mention it in my earlier posts.

This weekend seemed to be good and busy.  On Saturday morning we had no plans.  Late Saturday morning we found ourselves involved in the project my parents had started: power raking and then raking both of our yards.  It was a lot of work, but not so bad with everyone helping out.  My cousin Tim, who was out for the day from Vancouver even got "Raked " in!  We had a quick lunch of pizza, thanks Steve!  And then back to work.  We were actually finished by the late afternoon.  It was quite a work out and I'm sure my  laterals are already thanking me.  

Today we all made it to Church! :) And then I left soon as possible with my cousin Tim to go visit a client I used to work with who now has an aggressive form of stomach cancer.  It was actually a nice visit, and she still looks pretty good, obviously not at the end stages of the cancer yet.  They were actually late for our visit, so Tim and I quickly went out to get some Wendy's for lunch, late lunch.    After we got home Tim stayed for a game of 'Ticket to Ride', with Debbie, Angela and myself.  I won!  Yeah!  We have really been enjoying that game lately.  Later Mark's parents came by for a nice visit .  We convened outside and enjoyed the park and trampoline.  My kids love the outdoors!  After supper, my amazing wonderful husband let me go out to a movie with Debbie, Steve, and Angela.  AND he put the kids to bed by himself!  WOW!  I am so lucky!  We saw "Run, Fat Boy, Run".  It was funny.  A good laugh.

When we got home, had to say goodbye to Debbie, and then Angela and I played "ticket to Ride' and I won again.  Talk about a good ending to the weekend!  Now if Sophia would just go back to sleep . . . we are trying to let her crying it out.  11 pm is way to early to give her another bottle of milk.  Lets see who wins . . . right now it's a toss up!!  

Hope you all have a good week!
