What a Blessing

At the end of last month I posted a blog about Jordan Brook Fox, you may remember she was a precious little 5 week old Angel who had done what she was sent her to Earth to do, and when home to be with her Father!

Well today was the Celebration of Life for Jordan. I have been looking forward to this. I think in a way Logan has too. He kept calling it a funeral. He has been to viewing before but this is the first thing like this. We took balloons, and there was a balloon release. We got to the church, and saw Kim, she was just glowing. As I have mentioned before, Kim is a very strong in her faith and knows that God is right there with her. When the presentation started I was doing good....Only shed a few tears. As it went on, Logan got a little emotional and I got a lot emotional. Kim stood up and read a letter she had written to Jordan, and it was wonderful. It was honest and from the heart. After a beautiful slide show we were asked to go outside for the balloon release.

Before we set the balloons go, Joel spoke, read a letter his brother had written, and then spoke from the heart. Then they played Rain Down by MercyMe, this song played the day Kim got out of the hospital and also the evening Jordan passed away. It was very emotional, beautiful, there are not words to explain this afternoon.

We left and once we got in the car, I thought 'OMG....I am so tired' I think it was just the emotion. Logan has stated he wants to see where Jordan is buried. So we may and visit her.

I want to thank the Fox's for allowing us in there family and sharing in such a wonderful day. We are all better knowing that Precious Angel is above us and watching over us all.

Unexpected Weekend

This has been the week from....Well you know. I have been sick, trying to get over that, stuff at work, all good, just stressful, and we had a belt test on Saturday. Ray & I tested, I am sure we both passed, but still just the anxiety of it.

Well we had tickets to the Rangers game on Friday night. It was so much needed. Logan is Michael Young's (#10) #1 fan, he like Ian Kinsler (#5) & is starting to like Pudge (#7). He is 6, i think he may have a bookie that I don't know about! Anyway on the way to the game I got a notice from Facebook I had a message, from George, he is in town with the weekend off!!!

George is a guy we met when we lived in Pennsylvania in 1987-1988. He & my brother were theater geeks together...so I was lucky enough to gain yet another big brother! We moved back to TX as the end of that school year, and well in the 80's with out the power of Internet contact was usually lost. Through the power of the net we have reconnected with many people and several we were very close too in PA, I found Marcie then through Marcie found others, George being one. He was excited to find us too.. Well he has one of those cool jobs that he travels all over. This weekend he is in Tyler, TX about 2 hrs east of Arlington, and he was off work. Hell yeah we don't have anything going on.

Me, Ray & Logan met up with George Sat afternoon, we ate at El Fenix, walked around West End, Deally Plaza, Went to Reunion Tower, then headed up to Plano for the Plano Balloonfest. It was an AWESOME day. George & Ray hit it off they talked, picked on me and were very comfortable with each other. Logan just loved him. George is a great guy. We went to half-priced books and then called it a night. Today we are going to go to Tyler, visit the Zoo, and mom and dad are probably going to go with us. It does not seem like it has been 21 yrs since we had seen each other. I am really looking forward to today. Hopefully it wont be that long before we see each other again...

Marcie, you really missed a good time. :-(

Labor Day Weekend

We really had no plans and figured we would be just hanging out at the house. Well Friday afternoon I saw a friends FB posting and they were camping. So we called and invited ourselves for the day. We planned on Sunday. So Saturday Ray worked and Logan & I worked our butts off getting everything done around the house.

Logan had gotten some new Pampered Chef stuff so he had to cook dinner for daddy Saturday night, as well as bake a cake to take 'to the camping people'. We did that. He loves being in the kitchen. He gets it honestly for both of us. Beef tips and fried tators for dinner. He got to use his new pot, knives, potato peeler and tongs! He was so happy.

We got up Sunday morning ate breakfast, loaded the truck and off we went. Hit the grocery store, gas station, and picked up Holly at her place. We had never been to Lake Ray Roberts, it was so nice. Somewhere we would go to spend the day. The kids rode bikes for a while then we went to the beach, and swam and had lunch. I got in the water with the kids, the only adult...i was fun. We were at the beach for about 3 hrs. Lots of fun in the sun...got the redness to prove it. Then back to camp for some good CAKE!!! Everyone loved Logan's cake. It was all gone.

We left out about 5p, a great day. We are very thankful to have the great friends we have. You know more like extended family. It was so much fun...almost has me in the mind set to see what kind of deals are out there on campers.....
