Wow, what an eventful evening.
Patrick and I had been anticipating Friday night all week. We got all dressed up, I even made my finger and toe nails all pretty. (which I barely do) We took our children to my dad's home and visited for a bit, then we were on our way. We went to Market Street Grill in Wabash. It was a bit of a wait, but the wait is well worth the food and especially the desert. We were seated and ordered our drinks received our drinks. I took a little sip of my white chocolate cappuccino, and Patrick had a message from my dad. Dad said "You need to come home now, I am taking Tait to the E.R. , I am sure he broke his arm." Oh no! I was about in tears for two reasons, I was crushed that my hubby and I was unable to have dinner alone together "alone", and that my little brother was hurt. I felt horrible. We immediately left, and the people at the restaurant were so kind and empathetic, they did not charge us for our drinks.
We picked up our children and my little sister at my dad's neighbor's house and then treated everyone out for dinner at Beef o Brady's then rented a few movies. We spent the night at my dad's. My brother Tait, along with my dad and stepmother, stayed the night at the hospital, then Tait had surgery first thing in the morning. Thankfully the surgeon did not have to open the skin to put the bones back in place. Tait broke both bones one inch from his wrist.
The Lord sure took care of Tait. It could have been a lot worse. Tait fell from a tree, and I am so glad that his arm was all that was broken. Another neat thing is that my dad and stepmother was forced to be in the same room together. Hee hee. God has a plan.
Patrick and I will be planning a date night sometime soon.
Hopefully sooner than later, and without any accidents.

I am glad Tate wasn't hurt any worse than he was. I am also glad that the bones were able to be set without "surgery"!
Hopefully you and Patrick will be able to have your date soon!
Hi Michelle, sorry I haven't been able to send my comments until now. Shelley advised me what I may need to do inorder to get them posted. I really have read them all and replied.
I love reading your blog, so keep up the good work in sharing your life with all of us. Your sweet spirit is refreshing. Your energy is exhausting, but I use to be that way too.
It was really kind of you to clean up the "old" house on Godfroy and our garage after we all moved out.
We have alot to tell you kids. Dad has been in Georgia and Massachusetts this week and has alot on his plate for a new employer.
We love you and miss you. Mom/Granny
Hi Michelle, I've been really busy as you well know traveling to the aid of my mother in Illinois and then Indy and....trying to juggle our move to Georgia. Dad is in Georgia this week and next (until next Wed.) and I am catching up on readings, blogs, etc...I wish we had more time to talk as Christian women during your last visit and I wish I had read your blog before you and Patrick came up. God has given us "seasons" in each of our lives to make us stronger for not only ourselves but our children, other family members and the people we meet. If you look around, you will find most of us have difficulties in our lives, maybe different but we have finance problems, working, supporting our children emotionally and financially and learning to be patient, juggling be a mom, wife, sister, daughter, etc.....You are doing a fine job. So don't let these seasons derail you because we all go through them and we are better for it. Love you. Mom.....squeeze those babies for granny.
