A Good Day Indeed

Yesterday, May 8th, 2012...was a good day. 

First of all, one of my dear friends had a baby.  Not just any baby either.  Her fourth child.  Brinklee Kydan Thome was born yesterday.  Brinklee is the little sister to Kamdyn, Kolbe, and Kyrie Thome.  Most of you know how special the Kyrie Foundation is to me.  But more importantly, Kyrie's family holds a very special place in my heart.  Yesterday, Kyrie, Kamdyn, and Kolbe's Momma, gave birth to a very healthy, beautiful baby girl.  She's gorgeous...like her Momma...and loved by so many.  Congrats Jordan and Lacie on another precious Thome child. 

Secondly...the Mulvane School Bond passed.  Praise the Lord!  I know to some of  you...this will mean nothing.  But as a parent of a child in the district...and as a wife of a teacher in the district...and as a friend to so many who work in the district...it is a HUGE deal.  We are so excited!  Many people worked together to create a list of items that were a need vs. items that were simply a want.  Others promoted the bond and spent hours upon hours in meetings to ensure the word of our needs got out to the community. It passed...and we are thrilled.  So many needs will be addressed and our children will attend safer schools.  Thank you to our community for the support!  Mulvane ROCKS!

Third...we had a little family time at our house last night.  By "family time", I mean my Sis and Bro in law, my niece and nephew, four doxie dogs, Coach, the boys and myself.  Oh and a friend...(there is always a friend here)  Anyway, we unexpectedly gathered for dinner and had a wonderful evening.  We shared our excitement over the great day and it was good.

Sometimes, when you least expect it...good happens.  As we all know too well...bad happens too.  Which makes the good seem so good when we get a taste of it.  There are moments in our day that can turn the entire day sour.  But we have the choice to make the best of those moments and create good in our days and our lives. 

Thank you God for the good in yesterday.  It was a great day and we are so blessed.  Thank you for knowing our needs and our wants...and for helping us to see your plan in little positives that happen in our lives.  Thank you for the reassurance of your presence in times of trouble.  Thank you for the people in our lives that strengthen our faith and that cushion our fall.  And thank you for cookie dough.  (Just throwing that in)
Amen

Have a blessed day!
