The preacher this morning asked, "What was your turning point? When did it change for you?" I know that what he was referring to Christ and his death on the cross, saving us all. But my first thought was, it changed when I met Dallas. 3 days shy of our 21st Wedding Anniversary, I will say that it all changed for me the day that I met him - July 3rd, 1990. Janet gets the credit and no blame for this meeting. A Blind Date! Go figure! A long, lanky man with two very adorable children came into my life and changed who I was forever! The gift of being a part of Megan and Dallas, Jr. life is something that I cherish. Missing them today. Looking forward to seeing them soon.
Today I am reminded that family is important to me, my blessings are many and time spent with my dear friends don't happen quite as frequently as they should. Watching my BFF Cindy as she buried her Momma this weekend, reminds me that our time spent here on this earth is short and all a part of God's plan. Blessings to my friend and prayers of comfort as she comes to terms with the loss of her dear sweet mother.
This weekend, Dallas and I packed up our youngest and headed to Jason's. It is always fun to spend time with the NOVA Wades. It felt good to get away for a few days. Robyn and I snuck away to a local winery and to Starbucks - using a trip to the Grocery store as an excuse. Shhh ~ what's a few secrets between Sisters? Our days have been filled with a Birthday Celebration for Dallas and some Easter fun - Egg Hunt, sidewalk chalk drawings, dying eggs, the Easter Bunny, filling a couple of church pews with family and lots of good food.
I LOVE MY FAMILY! It's growing and changing fast! Next year will bring new fun traditions. Happy Easter Everyone!
