Best Buy update..

Well, after calling and leaving a message Monday... calling and getting no answer yesterday (literally - the phone just rang & rang for like 3 mins).... DH finally stopped in there today, and got to talk to someone! Apparently there was a misunderstanding, and the "We'll let you know be the weekend" was referring to the next weekend (this coming one, now). The hiring gal says she has a few more interviews to do, and some "hard decisions to make".... so, though we have no real answers as to his employee status.... it's nice to know, it's not over yet!!

So the wait continues... KEEP PRAYING!!

What did you say?

"Watch what you say: for you never know who is listening."

I know, I know... it's one thing to say... it's another, to actually do. Matter of fact, it's can even be quite easy to emulate & adhere to, when you are out & about under other people's watchful eye.... But what about when you're at home? It is said: "Character is what we do when no one is watching." - Do your attitudes & character differ between one or the other, just because "no one" is watching? Do you treat your children, spouse, parents, siblings with the same respect at home as you do when you're not. Just something to think about....

Today I had this lesson happen to me first hand....

and boy what a wakeup call that was!

As KB and I settle in to eat lunch, I suddenly notice my phone's display blinking. "That's odd!" I think to myself.... so I set in to do some investigative work. Then it hits me! about 5 mins 7 secs previous, KB had been holding my phone... and in pressing buttons, apparently called someone in my contacts. Then I started thinking... what did that person hear in those 5+ mins? Sometime in there, may have been when KB was begging me a bite of lunch.... as I tried to stall her until the food cooled down, did I let myself get at all irritated towards her? Did B ask me anything during that time? How was my attitude with him? Wow.... though I know the person on the other line is a very understanding & forgiving person (thankfully!)... the sudden realization of what was & (even worse), could have been heard, was very humbling...

"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." ~ Psalms 19:14

BFF... engaged!

My childhood-long best friend just called.... and her boyfriend proposed to her tonight!! I cannot tell you how excited I am for her!! Her ring is the one pictured above.... Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?! I can't *wait* to see it in person!! The really neat thing about her call last night.... is that I called her the night B proposed to me, and she thought it to be so special, that she wanted to make sure I was one of the first to know of her happy news! Wasn't that so sweet of her?!

Congratulations Vanessa! I wish you ALL the best! Let me know if there is *anything* I can do for you!! Love you!!
