Great week

Last week was one of the best I have had in years. I surprised Sebastian by taking him out of school early on Thursday. We drove to Lynnwood and had dinner at his new favorite restaurant the Macaroni Grill. Then we headed to Redmond for a concert by our favorite band Newsboys. He has wanted to see them in concert for so long but we just didn't have the money while Eric was in school. It was so fun for me to plan our adventure and he was shocked that I made all the arrangements without him finding out. (I am horrible at keeping secrets from my family) We didn't get home til after midnight but it was totally worth it to see his face when he saw the tickets.
Friday I had a hard time getting going for work. While I was waiting for Barb (we always meet and ride together to work) Eric called me. I figured he forgot something and needed my help. I was wrong. He was calling to tell me he got the job at LC for next year. I was so excited I sent a mass text to my family and some friends. Then I broke down crying. It is such a relief that all those years of school were not wasted. God has a plan for us. I am in awe that the Creator of the universe took time to make a plan for our lives. I start crying every time I think of how much He loves me.
Now you know why last week was so great and why I might cry alot for a while.
