Girl Time!

Two of my really good friends suggested we take some girl time this afternoon so that is exactly what we did! We met for pedicures and lunch. It was a such a good time to get together and talk and laugh (which is sometimes hard to do these days!) I got to enjoy the Hot Rock Pedicure for only the price of the Deluxe! If you are in the area and need a good place to get a great pedicure...Elegant Nail by BestBuy at Firewheel is the place to go! They even do zebra print. Just ask Kristina! We enjoyed our massage chairs and pedicures and came out with pretty toes. Then we went to Olive Garden for lunch. We found out you have to ask for the lunch menu and it's not that much different than the normal menu.
I am reminded daily just how much God cares for me. He has put great friends in my life to help me through the most difficult times. I am so thankful for friends and family. I can't imagine going through this alone. I pray that one day I will look back on this period of our lives and be able to see how much God has been with us. I know it will happen, because I can look back in other times of my life and see just how God made things happen. When I look back at all the years we prayed for children and all the times the answer was "not now". When we finally got the answer it was perfect. Perfect because everything worked out. Tim got a new job with GREAT insurance. We got some of the IVF procedure paid for. I got a job at a new school with a supportive team. Then we got pregnant with twins! While that wasn't a walk in the park, there were some scary times...being in the hospital for 11 weeks. God was there. I know He is here now, sometimes I just need Him to smack me and say "I'm here and it's okay!" I have had some really good days lately. I haven't cried...until writing this post...since Tuesday! I know it doesn't matter if I cry, it's just a small victory for me. I'm sure it will come and go, but I am celebrating the happiness that I feel right now. Enough of me rambling. I seem to have highjacked this post about girl time and really my blog about Glade and Addison, but this is our life right now. We have done some fun things to get out of the house, but I haven't taken pictures. I've been too busy chasing 2 two year olds. Who needs the gym?
Keep praying for us that we will listen for God's answers and wait on His timing.

God has been with you every step of the way. I am thankful we could get away from "life" for a bit today! It was good to see you smile!

That's wonderful you were able to get out and enjoy life with girlfriends! That will definitely help you. I hope you have more and more of these happy days ahead.
