Happy Birthday

YeaY! I turned 41 today! And guess what, my husband actually was able to make it out of bed and came over to me and woke me up with a kiss. And a big "Happy Birthday"... I am sure you have followed along enough to know that that was a far stretch for him and his downer mood.

That took some serious mood adjustment on his part. He was actually in a good mood. He was ready to go to church and everything. Seeeeeee..... i knew it was coming. I consistently had my mind on his healing all day. I didn't say it on here because you guys would have gotten board with that, but all day I said, "Thank you for healing." Over and Over. Just to myself. ANd I believed it. I really did.

Of course, I thought that it might take him a few weeks or so, but there he was, my Tony was back. He was happy today HE got US up for church for the first time in , well, ever. And then he disappearred.... HMMMM.....

He said he would meet us at church. okayyyyy? It was okay. Because our day was starting out right for the first time in a bit and I was ready for it. This is how these days of my life roll now. I am so open for big days now becasue I thrive on them you know. SO, we got ready for church EARLY. And for those of you with kids know, that doesn't happen very often, but we were riding the big wave of positive energy this morning.

THen he came in with my birthday present....ANNNND THen,, I was thrilled. I was expecting nothing, given his state of mind over the past few days. They were tennis outfits... so cute. He was so thrilled with them and so it was a holly jolly happy morning before church... with money we shouldn't be spending.

I look at that 2 ways. We shouldn't be spending it.... OR, Tony has now gotten his confidence back and now knows that he will be earning enough to be paying for these things. That is usually how it goes. SO, we will see there. Either way, for today, I just don't want to focus there, for the feelilng is good.

After church, went to eat at a local BBQ joint that will make you sick if you are in there too long, but the food was just nasty enough to make you know that it has the perfect atmosphere to be real home town cookin'. We had a ball.

We came home and I took my 14 year old to the church for youth band. He is dynamic on guitar. ANd he really is very good. That is for another time. But, did I mention that he is very good? If there is any one reading that wants to sign him on today, you better get him, because in a short time, you won't get your chance. He practices 4-5 hours every day and loves it. He is just now beginning with this church band, but I am not sure he will last long there, he has already outgrown it, but it is a starting point. Either way, I got caught up there with him, because I love to watch him play, so I was that nerdy mom sitting in the back watching her kid play and dancing and kind of yelling out everytime they gave him a solo to do, you know the moms? Yeah, that's me.... How embarrassing , HUH?

Came home and there was my good looking husband out doing the yard. He was not curled up on the couch. He was outside working. I can't tell you what a big deal that was. HALLELUHAH!

He really is coming out of his funk! He is realizing there is life out there! He has been working so little lately and then coming home and staring at that tv undercovers for about a month now. So, now he is not. I knew that I could help him. I just didn't know how long.

True faith in those we love works. It works. Okay, here I go, crying again....I guess I'll go... gotta get a Kleenex... It was a good day...
