Valentine's Second to Today's Birthday!

My favorite valentine ever was born twenty years ago today!  Matthew makes us happy parents as do all of our wonderful children!   We love them all so much. Happy Birthday Matthew!  Wish we could all be there to celebrate with you.   He has been very busy with homework and school.  Unfortunately, he had car trouble over the weekend and had to deal with getting new struts.  Jeff was able to help over the phone and we helped him with funding too.

I am officially off orientation and will work my first shift solo tomorrow from 3pm to 11:30pm.  Of course there is some anxiety about going to work tomorrow, but I have some good co-workers and a savior who is with me all the time.  "If God is for me, who can be against me?" Other activities I have been actively doing are: children's church, Gilda's House meetings, signing up for Laughfest 2014 as a volunteer and planning my upcoming transplant birthday party.  I am starting to worry about how much food to prepare.  For now, I need to be ready for church orchestra and work tomorrow, including making sure we have clean clothes. Laundry! Oye.  Jeff keeps our quikbooks up to date,  attends meetings with me and takes me out for dinner when I get home late.  All in addition to his shepherding our church.   We both finally feel better after being sick with colds and congestion for a few weeks!

The girls are busy as usual.  Sarah needs to have her wisdom teeth pulled, but with a very busy basketball schedule with make up games due to snowy weather and the writing of her thesis, she will need to find the best time for this to happen.  She defends her thesis March 28th! Mary continues to student teach English, work at Pizza House and finish her year as president of the Women's Glee Club.  Her last concert will be on April 5th. Then graduations on May 2 and 3.

I had better get to business.   I am looking forward to a Birthday Skype with Matthew later this evening!   For everyone else~  Happy Valentine's Day!   We love you all!
