Happy Birthday to me!
ShareI am so very blessed. My birthday was coming up and people asked me what I wanted to do. Well, I couldn't think of a thing I wanted to do. A couple weeks ago I found out about a hockey tournament my son Niklas could play in. It was in McAllen. Whew! That is a long way from San Angelo. I decided, though, that it might be fun to meet some new people (from Austin) and see his friend Zach (goalie) who Niklas used to play hockey with.
Do I regret my decision? NO! I could have stayed home and went out with friends and slept in every day :) I could have done many things. I am glad I took two of my boys, Cody and Niklas and spent the weekend in McAllen. For one, it is always fun to watch one of my boys play hockey. And we did make some awesome new friends. And we got to see old friends again. But the number one blessing was that my boys and I had a great time together! From driving that long drive (7 hrs) there and driving that long drive back and everything between, it was a blessed time.
We all know it is not all fun living with teens. I love my boys and just prayed that we would have a super blessed time. And HE answered that prayer in a mighty way. We just enjoyed each other. They sang and made me smile on the drive to and from. I sang and made them cringe :) They swam with friends. We swam together. We had a bbq with the team. We watched a movie together. Oh alright, we started to watch a movie together. They lasted through the whole thing. I didn't. They played with their friends on the beach at South Padre. They laughed at me when I sat in the water for two hours looking for shells.
I am blessed. I am praying for many more good times with my boys. Thank YOU for answering my prayers. I am super blessed. What a birthday!
