This past week was pretty uneventful. There were few days I got out of my pj's and besides going to church on Wednesday and praise team practice Thursday I did not leave the house. However, there were still those crappy days and also a couple of praises.

The kids and I were hit with the flu this week. Luke got the stomach bug and Matalie and I got the head cold. That was a big reason why we were home most of the week. The other reason is because Scott was having to drive my car to work...again. The tag was up on January 31 so he has been trying to get the emissions done and every time he takes it the truck fails. They told him the first time that the fume levels were too high and to do a fuel line clean out(whatever that means) and to bring it back. Him being the mechanic, did what they said and the points went down but not enough to pass. Scott finally figured out that the problem was the valve that controlled the chemical release and it was going to be a good bit of money to fix it. So we were back in the same boat we were in a month ago.

I want to take a second to say how AMAZING my God is. He is so on time with everything that He does, and He always provides. Wednesday night Scott got pulled over on his way home from church. He called me freaking out because we honestly did not want to dish out 250 for an expired tag ticket. Immediately I asked God to intervene. Scott called me back not even ten minutes later and said he let him off with a warning for not changing his address on his license. Thank you Jesus! And not only did we not get a ticket but the next day we got a random check in the mail from his previous employer saying they took too much out of his 401k. The amount was what we needed to fix Scott's truck and then some. See, I told you my God is good :)

Hi / Low
I know that I have only been in the blogging world for a week now but I really want to start this now instead of later. We have been to a couple of Bible studies with this awesome couple and they like to play a little game called hi/low. Most people grumble at the sound of it but me, I love it. I don't know how to explain, it's almost like getting it out in the open and being able to talk about it makes the bad things not so bad and the good things even more special. So every Monday I will be posting my high for the past week and my low. If you want to share feel free to leave yours in the comments, but this is more for my benefit so don't feel like you have to.

Most of you know what we have been going through with Luke, and if you don't you can read about it here. I have to say that he has been doing much better lately, but we hit our biggest obstacle this week. T-Ball. Luke has been playing ball since he was three, and guess who his coach was every year. I knew from the moment Andrew left that this was probably going to be the hardest thing to get through for him and I was right. On the way to church Wednesday night the subject of sports came up so I thought I would give it a try. I told him that sign ups were right around the corner and he needed to let me know if he wanted to play. I must have caught him off guard because he got very excited and said- Yes!!! I want to play ball with my daddy!- I just held my breath and waited for the realization to kick in and when it did it was like a punch in the gut. All at once his smile turned into a frown and that excitement turned into heart break, again. After that he said he did not want to do it with out Andrew. I had a feeling that would be the answer but it still doesn't make it easier. Luke LOVES baseball and I hate watching him give it up. I know it is soon though, and I will not push. We will just have to try again next year.

With that said, my high for this week would definitely have to be date night with my love. It was a close race though, considering this week was full of fun events, but in the end my hunny always wins :)
