I am an Auntie!!!!

My sister Bre had her baby this morning! Welcome little Andrew! He was born by emergency C-Section at 12:31 am. He weighs in at 6lbs 12oz and is a whopping 20 inches long! He is in NICU, as the cord was tightly wrapped around his neck and arms. Bre is doing well, not in too much pain yet, but has been unable to see her baby. She wants me to go out there, but I have to figure out how first. Money, always an issue you know? I wish I could just up and go, but with surgery coming up and me missing a month or so of work, I have to plan this carefully. I get five days of vacation here on Wednesday and want to use those to go see her.

I am feeling a bit better, not so blah. I am starting a new church tomorrow, by myself. But, I am really excited. I have to attend the "Getting Started" class with the pastor at ten, then I will attend the service at 11. I hope this is my answer to what I need, to improve my relationship with God, and fill the hole that I a constantly searching for the solution of. Matt will not go with me, he isn't in to church really. He has gone with me in the past, three times, but it really isn't something I want him to feel forced to do. It is something you have to want, just like quiting smoking, or something similar. I will go, and enjoy my time with Him. And with other people on the same journey, or perhaps their own. As each of our journey with God is very unique I believe. I know mine is, so I assume it is that way with everyone else.

A friend of mine is very sad and I wish I could reach out and help her. However, I don't know all the details and how deep that pain goes. Depression is hard. I have fought it, or more so lived with it for years. This friend of mine blogs and has password posts. I don't have the password, which is perfectly fine. But, I wish I knew what to say to help, to heal the pain. I know I can't heal her, or anyone else, but I want her to know I am here for her. In whatever capacity I am able to be. She will read this I hope, and feel my warmth for her and love reaching out.

I thought I wanted another dog. I don't. A friend at work is getting rid of her Morkie. I thought he is so cute, let me have him. I brought him home last night and realized that I am ok with one pet. Two is overwhelming. My boss wants him though. So I will let her know that I can't provide the home I thought I could and he will go to someone that can. Little Sammy, it has been fun, but we can't do it here at this house. Sorry.

Ryker is waking, got to jet. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
