Lord, it's been forever since I've last written! I've been so busy with my house renovations (well, George & Simon have been busy, and doing a fantastic job!). I'm now working on putting the decorating touches together...a lot of shopping took place this week! It's great to finally have this moving along, and I have Sue & her bf to thank for giving me the kick in the ass I needed! They're coming in very late Monday night and leaving Saturday afternoon. Should be a wild, crazy, and sleepless week! I'm really looking forward to hanging with her and catching up! Bought Phils tix for Thursday's game (fingers crossed that my boy is pitching!). Had an absolutely wonderful Easter with the family, and Dad's birthday the Thursday prior. Not sure if you remember me talking about my brother a while back, but there was a profoundly touching moment that night. My parents made 2 sizable donations, one to St Bridgets church and one to Food for the Poor (for a house and outhouse for a family in Haiti) in Anna Elisabeth's memory (my brother's daughter who passed away 10 years ago). It's really hard for me to put into words what is was like. My parents' act of kindness moved my brother to tears (not an easy task to accomplish) and so, of course, the rest of us were
crying. In the same moment, I felt extreme pride for my parents and the example for living that they have set for their children, and overwhelming love for my brother. It's one of those moments that will choke me up everytime I think of it, and that I will remember forever.
Easter was at Rich & Em's, and the weather was great! They did an awesome job of feeding us and we had lots of fun and laughs!
Monday began my shopping insanity, and I still have a ton to do (so what am I doing here at Saxby's??)...so I'm going to try not to panic.
This morning I met the doc at the Linc to set up for the Broad Street Run expo for tomorrow and Saturday. Should be a fun and interesting experience!
I'll check in (hopefully sooner than later) and let you know how the visit goes...!
