My Daughter-In-Law Marissa went shopping the other day for shoes. She ended up buying five pair..."hey, a girl's got to look good"! So, a couple of days ago Chris came home from work and Marissa was cleaning the house... as they sat down to talk about their days; she told him that she had bought another pair of shoes, just one more! Chris' being a bit annoyed said "what?" Marissa explained to him that it was just one more pair...to Please open the box and just look at them. So he did...and this is what he found inside:
Yes, it is indeed a pair of Baby shoes with TWO pregnancy test sticks {she wanted to make sure} On the bottom of the shoe it read's: Hi Daddy, baby Fish coming soon Feb 2011
love Mom
I'm sure you can imagine his surprise.
Rich and I are so excited for them, they are going to be Wonderful parent's!! Also able to share in this amazing news is Craig and Trista who are there visiting this weekend with Shealynn and Brady. They sure picked a good weekend to visit!!!
All in Gods plan.
Hummmm...two test sticks.....one for each baby?????
And Good-evening everyone! All I can tell you right now is that while at work today Rich was told the letter of exception went through, and it would "probably" be approved. He was told to go ahead with plans to fly on the 17th, so here we go again! The list will get long this weekend; but we'll get it done and be ready.Visa application went in today. And we'll have to get Mikey's paperwork together.Set-up another pre-inspection and move-out date. I have two weeks to get thing's in order and organized for the move.
Piece of cake! I'm looking forward to the move. Tomorrow I shall begin in the closets.
We had a wonderful dinner this evening..alright, the company was better! It was so nice to see Rachel- it's been more than a few months. Although she's here in DC for class with the State Department, she is now Posted in Vancouver Canada.
Wow, we have quite a "thunder/lightning" show going on outside right now. Hope I'm able to finish this Blog before the power gets taken out. I know a couple of you have asked about Rich and jobs. We haven't heard anything yet; about the jobs in Germany or Bern. Just lost power..so will write more tomorrow night.
Rich had his meeting with the Language Department today. Everything he had to say was well received and he seems to think "hope" his recommendations will prevent other students from the same problems this class had. That's one of the things I admire most about Rich; he doesn't complain without offering a solution.
Tomorrow evening we're meeting with a friend we were posted with in Tel-Aviv. Mexican Food will be on the menu.
Big Relief, Chris just called and he's "safe"! Now I can fill you in. This week he is working with Detective Division, and today they went on a drug-bust "somewhere in Ca". They "13 Police Officers" raided a Meth House and took them out-of-business. {now you know why I was worried}
When he first told me my response to him was: don't go in there...call the Police! Of course right after I heard the words come out of my mouth- I realized what I said! As a Mother, I guess I'll always think of my boys as Little. In fact, although their quite grown up, two with a family of their own..somewhere in my mind they will always be little. Needless to say I'm very proud!!! This was taken of Chris just after the raid:
In His word's: They love their Meth, but I love my job more!!
In my word's Chris: I love you more than you love your job!!
Still no word on our travel problems,but Rich did find out that if he took another job "he would NOT have to pay back for any classes taken. So that's some good news. I'm still not sure what he will decide to do but as long as he's happy with what he does everyday, will be good enough for me! Chris called us on his way home from work this evening...and although I'm not at liberty to discuss what he's going to do.....I can ask you to please say a special prayer to keep them safe.
I will be waiting in anticipation until he calls us.
Mangos....I can't stop eating Mangos ,
if I didn't know better I'd swear I was pregnant~! There just so sweet, tender, and jucy. That plus the clean feel of your mouth after eating one. What can I say except yummm.
Today was wonderful! Rich and I were able to speak with all of our boy's, our two daughter-in-laws and our two beautiful grandchildren!!! I miss my family.
This weekend was a "re-stock". After a trip to Costco to re-fill the freezer and add a couple of things to the pantry; they can now change their minds and send us to Bern on time! It was nice to have a somewhat quite weekend. "It will be interesting to see what this week will bring."
