#29 Friends who look out for each other

I helped clean out our friends apartment, so that he could have family stay since Juliette has gotten worse. It's nice to be able to help out a friend in need, and to also know that I have friends who will do the same thing for me if I need it.

#28 Salvation is a gift

That's all it is, plain and simple. If we try to make too much out of it, then we are just complicating matters. It's a gift from God, all we have to do is accept it.

#27 Getting a good nights rest

So we've been transitioning Madelyn from the bed to her crib. She's done really well. She fusses some at the beginning, and last night she was up and restless for awhile, but overall, it has been very successful. So thankful to have my bed back to myself, it's wonderful to stretch out and sleep on my stomach again!!

#26 Sunny weather at the beach

It's pretty rare to have nice weather at the beach. This weekend spent camping at Cape Lookout State Park was beautiful. It was perfectly clear and sunny, with highs around 65. Just beautiful.

#25 My husband

So I have Mastitis, not fun. But I was telling Brandon about it, and he said I should go to the doctor. So he took me in, kept Madelyn in the car while I went inside, and then took me to the pharmacy to pick up some antibiotics. Thanks hubby for taking care of me when I'm sick.

#24 Babies bounce

So yesterday, Madelyn fell off our bed... twice. Once when she woke up from her nap, and once in the middle of the night, which woke me out of a dead sleep. My heart just stops, and Madelyn cries, but she ends up being okay. I'm so thankful that babies are flexible and that Madelyn's guardian angel was there to cushion her fall.

#23 The genorosity of others

Today we had the fundraiser for Juliette. It was a long day, but so worth it. Our goal (which I will admit, I didn't think we would make even close to) was $2,000. We made a little over $3,000!!! Wow!! I can't believe it. We had so many local businesses sponsor holes, lots of people buying baked goods, 72 people sign up for the tournament, and tons of donations through raffle ticket purchases, or just some that would tell us to "keep the change". Amazing. Even the rough crowd that the disc golfers tend to be, they still donated money towards the cause. Some of them got prizes, and they did get to play in a tournament, but they didn't have to donate money. Even through the haze of cigarette smoke, the smell of alcohol, and the myriad tattooed bodies, there were hearts filled with compassion and love.
