Day 159

A special day today - 

It's Friday .....  It's Skype-Day ...... and it's Wade's birthday. 

This morning I had a good talk with Wade on skype about this and that. Wonderful time. He is still struggling with craziness that is rampant on the base right now. He's just trying to hold on until he can take some R&R. Prayers are very welcome. 

This here is the cake that I made for his birthday 2 years ago. It's full of peanut butter and chocolate - I'll be happy to make another of these when he comes back home. 

This is how I think of him - every day. 

But then, there's also that part of him that just makes me laugh - he has always had that ability to lift my spirits better than anyone else. This was last year on our way home from a visit with his father in Arkansas. 

This is your birthday present this year - not the snow blower, just a picture of you in the snow playing with your new snow blower. Does it make you feel cooler? Can you even remember what cooler feels like?? 

And now this year - you're rockin' that hat, Mr. Wide!! I can't wait until I can give you a hug, a piece of peanut butter & chocolate cake, and laugh at your jokes. 

Happy Birthday to my bestest, BESTEST friend.

My BBF!!!  ha-ha.

Tonight I leave the church parking lot at 5:00 to hop on a bus full of women (wild and crazy women??) to drive to Columbus and see Beth Moore. We will hear her speak tonight - then drive back home (around 11:00). Then tomorrow morning, very VERY early we will meet in the parking lot again (at 6 AM) to drive back and listen once again to our sister, Beth. What a good time we will have. I can't wait!!
