2019 Joy Journal

September 30, 2019 When Morgan was here last week, as I hugged her bye I was making a little poem/song and ended with "You are the best, you just need some rest." She used those words as a tag in a post she put in the joy journal, about Davis sleeping through the night for three nights in a row. Makes me feel so good and useful.  Angela is home. She is at Phew! and I am so content with the state of the house. It is clean and finished and pretty --- I'm really tickled with my decorating choices --- and while it has some little oddities that might get in the way of being a perfect forever home, those oddities aren't going to get in the way of it being a good, comforting, pleasant shelter while she takes this next step and starts what she is calling her "first big girl job." I feel at peace. Kennedy drove over from Pensacola yesterday and so we got to visit with her a little bit. She helped Angela unload some things from her car, etc.  Most of the exp...

September 25, 2019 Beth about the kitchen now I'm set few said that she love them and that they just so typical granny with my mixed match dining chairs.

September 24, 2019 Davis ---A picture and started to dance. Crawled to the Mickey picture and started to dance.

September 23, 2019 Twenty days since my last post! I keep thinking about how good and happy Andrew seemed last night when he told us this: "When he talked to me, you know, I said, 'What can I say? I can't say you haven't known each other long enough. You've known each other since kindergarten. I can't say you aren't settled down enough. You both have good jobs. Just don't hurt her." --- Andrew said it like he believed that Brittany would be happy. And when she saw him and realized he was still in town and gave him the longest, sweetest hug.  Finding out that Daddy walked the living room in the morning. Wanda Prewitt geting up to come and talk to me. Debbie, Annette's boss, saying hi. Coming to say bye. Asking if I was interested in going with them to look at wedding venues. When I said something about mother-in-law, Debbie said, "It almost makes me cry to hear the way Annette talks about you. My mother-in-law was always so mean ...

September 3, 2019 I get to have breakfast with Andrew tomorrow! Angela, when she called to tell me that she had gotten a job in Mobile and is moving back ---- I was so happy, she was so happy, she couldn't wait to tell me and she didn't want to do it by text.  Beth and Rodney have been in Chicago with Morgan, Amber, Zak, Brandon, Amber's boyfriend, and Davis. Lots of fun, lots of pictures on Facebook. Shawn is engaged.  Faith and Michael and Brooke came over yesterday to swim, and we sat at the kitchen counter for a long time and visited.  Heard from Brittany. She and Jon Marc spent Labor Day weekend with his family and had a good time. Pictures on Facebook.
