1 Samuel 2:2 There is no Rock like Our God

Just wanted to check in with all of you and send out Big...Huge...warm Robynn Hugs!

I was in Santa Barbara this weekend and it was Gorgeous. All my beautiful surroundings were magnified because of Robynn's absence. All the things I knew she would appreciate and love seemed to fill my sense of loss momentarily. It was sad to not hear her next to me babbling a way as we walked through the shops and watched the waves, but there was comfort.
The kids didn't have school yesterday, so we had some FFF...just the 3 of us!
We went to the movies and saw Slumdog Millionaire as Cal and Tanner had already seen it, but demanded that I see it. WOW! They were right! We had to run to Target and get the soundtrack right after. We then went to the mall to participate in Aeropostale's "Jeans for Teens". We brought 9 pairs of old jeans that they will deliver to our local homeless shelter and give out to homeless teens. When you do that, they give you an extra 25% off of their already marked down jeans. You don't have to buy any, you can just drop yours off. We ended up giving 9 and buying 3 for $50. What a great way to help others and not put a huge dent in your wallet! I encourage you all to check it out if you have one in your area. The program runs til Feb 22nd. Take action "Army Goodell"!;)
Thanks for your concern about Uncle Sonny. Medically, the Dr's think he responded as well as he could have with the stem cell transplant. Physically, Uncle Sonny gives himself a "C-". I don't know about you, but "C's" were never tolerated in my family so lets pray to get him up to the "B" range!

No Ruby...
Pray On!

Nice that you had a little mini-get-away to Santa Barbara, and thanks for the heads up regarding Aeropostale's "Jeans for Teens"...I will have to share the information.

Oh, before I forget thanks for the update on Uncle Sonny...sorry he is feeling C- like.

Ruby isn't off our radar screen with prayer and surrender all things are possible.

In friendship~

Hi, Shelley:

We were really glad to hear that you got some much needed R & R in Santa Barbara-such a beautiful place. After this past year, no one deserves it more!

We continue to hold your entire family in our prayers and are wishing for good health for your Uncle Julian (Sonny) and for the safe return of Ruby.
