Anniversaries, and Air Conditioners....

So Bryant and I went to see Hairspray last night and it was such a cute movie....very light, very summer. It is so nice to go out with my husband of almost 22 years. (Yes, I got married when I was 8!) We will celebrate 22 on August 10th. Wow! It kind of freaks me out a little to think that I met my mate when I was 18 during my first semester at SFA. Did I mention that Brendan is going to SFA? Did I mention that he turns 18 tomorrow? Kinda freaky if you think about it. We thought we were old enough, mature enough, ready enough to get married. I look back now and know that it was the GRACE OF GOD that got us through. It really is amazing that we made it through with out killing each other. I am so blessed to have him. Anyway, on another note, we have been having an air conditioner/birthday extravaganza over here. We keep having problems with our air and Lindsee can testify that it has been interesting. We were hanging out one Sunday night because the before mentioned hubby was out of town when I started hearing a drip, drip, drip, hitting leather! Now, our couch is pretty new, so when you hear the drip on leather it sends you in to a panic! My words were "SAVE THE COUCH! Don't worry about the ceiling, SAVE THE COUCH! I was so glad that Lindsee was here to hold the flash light and make sure I didn't fall through the ceiling and it turned out that I had to turn off the unit and spend the night and the next day in a hot house waiting for the air guy. But, he ended up not charging us (nice man, thanks God) because he had been out so many times this year. I think we have reached some kind of quota....
We have been celebrating our July bdays this month...Ethan on the 20th, Megan on the 28th and Brendan on the 31st. Ethan had a moving watching party, Megan had a scrapboooking sleepover and Brendan doesn't want a party. I am trying to change his mind and have some friends over. I am a glutton for punishment. Yes, I know what you are thinking.....WEIRD! Three of the four within the span of a few days. (Collin is in May) We didn't plan it that way, but God did. It feels like Christmas with all the presents and planning, stressful but fun. My kids are so awesome, and I am so glad that God made them. My prayer today is to enjoy them and the time I have with them. To enjoy every crazy, mixed up, stressful, with out air conditioning day with my family. I love them all so much....

Grace,
