It's been a rough week. We received some not so good news about my father. He has prostate cancer. He is very lucky that it was caught early and has already scheduled several appointments with specialists to discuss his treatment options. I know that everything will be alright. I'm going to be flying home with baby in a few weeks for a quick visit.
Asher has had strep throat which has left Aaron and I juggling schedules to stay home with him. Life is just a huge balancing act and I'm left questioning my decision to work on a regular basis. However, I don't really want to get into that with this post. I want to talk about a few things that have happened this week that let me know that I am not alone and that God is aware of me.
I have a co-worker who is prone to saying really inappropriate things to me. Really inappropriate. I take her comments in stride because I can tell she's just trying to be friendly. Well about an hour after I got off the phone with my mom saying my dad has cancer this woman plops a cheeseburger on my desk. I'm not really sure why she thought of getting me food, but I have been dying for a cheeseburger for weeks! It was delicious, a slice of heaven.
On Wednesday, I was feeling really overwhelmed with life when another woman from work stopped me in the halls and invited me to join her book club. You know how there are people you can just tell you are going to click with and if only you could spend more time with them you'd be friends? That's my situation with her. Needless to say I went to the meeting that night and had the most enjoyable time with the group. It was nice to spend an evening with great conversation and peach cobbler.
Yesterday Aaron and I got invited to go out with another couple! We usually do the inviting so this was a nice switch-a-roo. So I'll be going to church tomorrow on a mission to find a baby-sitter for the Ashman.
So, that's my good news for the week. What about you?
