Valentines Day 2009

What A Wonderful Suprise!

I came in and Gordon had the table all decorated for Valentine's Day. He had MADE me a heart shaped cake, with pink icing. He made a four layer two kind cake. It was strawberry & red velvet, with cream cheese icing. The heart shape pie is Rachel's doings. I bought the stuff to fix two pies for tomorrow night and she decided that she was going to decorate them to suit her. I think they turned out really pretty.

We have had a pretty hard week. I think Gordon was trying to bring my spirits up some.

Working each day sitting with my feet down at work is causing major trouble with my legs and feet. My right leg has always swelled some ... but since this other problem has started my left leg has been swelling as much maybe more so that the right one. After being at work all day coming home and trying to get all my daily "chores" done by the time I get everything done I can barely walk because my legs and feet are swelled so tight. They are doubling in size each day only going down a little each night.

So, I BEG you please pray for all of us. Gordon is running head over hills at his job and then trying to keep things done up at the church keeps him very busy. With me working each day and then trying to keep up with all of my duties ... somedays I feel like I may be losing my mind. Zach is trying to get everything ready to head off to Collage in the fall. Nathan is constantly on the phone or wanting to go somewhere with the girlfriend of his. I took him to the DR this week and she said that he had lost OVER 30lb's since December ... it is all the stress from his poor decisions ... We finally let him go and try for his permit ... and lo and behold he got it! Now that Rachel is 15 she is constantly talking about that boy she is hooked up with in Williamsburg ... I really think that they all 3 need to focus more on thier walk with the LORD that the trials and mishaps of this life down here.
