This weekend we made a "surprise" trip down to Fort Worth to see Andy's family. Originally they were going to come spend the weekend with us, but then the motorcycle accident happened, so we had to re-arrange the plan a little bit. Andy and I decided if they couldn't come party with us, we would take the party to them. I had already bought all the stuff to do a Perini Ranch brisket, scalloped taters, green beans, taters...and of course banana puddin'. So we just loaded up the cooler and the car and headed down on Saturday morning. I think we pulled it off...and everyone was surprised when we got there. Andy's dad is doing okay, however he was experiencing some breathing difficulties while we were there. Its so common that people who are "laid up in bed" to come down with pneumonia, so specific prayers that he doesn't get that are much appreciated. I have also heard that anytime you undergo anesthesia your chances for catching pneumonia are increased. He was moved to a private room on a more specialized floor. His surgeries haven't taken place yet because the knee cap is too swollen still to operate. Its going to be a long road to recovery...but I think everything is going to be okay. Thanks to Jay and Chrissy for letting us stay at their beautiful home and just taking us right in. The boys stayed up way to late playing a game of poker and the ladies soaked it up in the hot-tub!!! We had a good time and we sincerely appreciate their kindness. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

This is a very busy week for me on the school front...but If I can manage to get this week out of the way I will have about 3 weeks of rest before vacation and before summer school starts. I am really really looking forward to a little down time before heading into the summer sessions. This has by far been the hardest semester...and there are so many other things going on in our lives too (Andy finding a job, selling the house, where we are going to move, finances etc) the list goes on and on. I am really going to focus on peace...during my time off...not hurrying from second to second making sure everything is perfect. Sometimes imperfection is perfect. Happy Monday to everyone!!!
