big test!!!! and more.....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray that Billy does well on his big test. Alot is riding on him passing this test. It is my hope that it is smooth sailing. There is the possibility for him to take it over but I would prefer not to go that route for the financial burden of it.
Anyways if you are reading this you are likely near and dear to us so you will be invited to his "graduation" celebration after we are notified that he passed. I will update y'all with information and details probably via some form of invitation but just wanted to give the heads up.

Other things....
I have to say that one of the issues I have been struggling with with one particular family member has been internally resolved. I just realized that I need to open my heart to this person and although I do think there are some serious things wrong with this individual mentally I love him he is my family and I realized that love and encouragement is what is going to make him better. The cold shoulder and acting like he isnt in the room is no longer working for me and I always leave feeling bad that I cant just "get over it." Just thought I would put this in writing.

One more thing.... Can I just say that I am super excited for Em's baby! I just think I am vicariously living through her as well as just genuinely happy for her and her blessing. I look forward to things like all of our friends (again if you are reading you are more than welcome in my dream for the future) taking our rugrats on camping trips, the zoo, and my big fantasy...all of us going to somewhere like Disney someday. I even look as far as dealing with rowdy teenagers and all of us dropping our kids off for youth group trips and we all go back and do something fun and party when they leave. ;-) I hope all of our kids remain friends and I also even think about...gasp....what if one of them starts to date or even fall in love with one of the others. Wierd thought but being that I see most of us being around eachother for the long haul the possibility cant be ruled out. I just have to say that it is my one of my happy thoughts and it gives me alot to look forward to. Thanks
