Well we are back home from New Orleans. I am really happy to finally be back here in my own bed around my own stuff. this week has been a three-ring circus of activity, with scarcely a second for my husband and I to stop and catch our breath. We filled our time as much as we could and I think for the next few days we are just going to fall over with exhaustion.
Our main time was spent with
this little guy. We made a ton of great memories with him. I think he was a bit nervous the first day but then he started to open up and I think it was so meaningful that he finally had some time with his father. We all got along super well and I think we will be having him this summer too when Brittany and Jackson are here.
Then in our spare time ( which wasn't much ) we spent
taking in all that Mardi Gras had to offer with mom and Don. I have sooooo many pictures and videos for you guys that I can't wait to get edited and posted for you guys! As you can imagine a ton of post will be coming up!
Ok... on to other things..
So I was able to watch Whitney Houston's funeral.. and I really found it heart warming and touching. I think it was an amazing service and send off. I think it was extremely sad and many times I had tears running down my face. If I could pick out one person that really stood out to me was Tyler Perry. Oh wow. No one really got that church going more than he did. He just really touched me. If you didn't see it, here is what I am talking about..
I found that so profoundly beautiful. That's a man that gets my attention. I might go to church if Tyler Perry was preaching. I loved it. I also loved Alicia Keys. And here is that clip.
That song and dedication really moved me. And that brought the tears on.
I hope she is happy on the other side and watching over her daughter and family. Its terrible what happened. I think the funeral was done right and I think it being in Atlanta was right and I also think it was right of her mother to bury her beside her father. I also remember hearing from someone that Cissy Houston brought the world to church that day.. and I believe that to be true too. I don't really do church anymore for very personal reasons but I have a belief in God and the other side that I believe exist to my very core. I needed no guideness ever to feel and know that presence. I needed no church to teach me that. But this service sure lifted her up and really touched my heart. It was done with love and respect and that came from her mother.
Another thing that I want to briefly touch upon is this guy - Tony Robbins- an inspiration speaker that I had NEVER heard of until watching it on the OWN network. I guess I must have been living under a rock to not even know who this man was. Husby did.. but he is sure something. Husby didn't get to see these shows so I am sure going to watch them again with him. He is all about inspiration and excitement and I think he will love watching this guy. Have any of you heard of him? He sure has some interesting things to say. If you didn't get to see this.. it should be on next Sunday on OWN re running before her new show. I think there are 2 shows with him so don't miss them. I would love to talk to any of you guys who watched it or know who I am talking about. Just email me your thoughts.
Speaking of emails. I know I am behind. I answered a lot of them in the car tonight so I hope when a lot of you guys get up you will have a email from me. If you don't .. I will finish them in the coming days. I really appreciate all your kind words about meeting Zane. I was pretty nervous but it all went so good that it shocked me.. and I am not shocked easily. I showed him the blog and read a few of your emails to him. I think it made him feel good to know that people he doesn't know and haven't heard of have been sending blessings his way. Its really not easy to blend families but his ex wife was really kind and we are all just making it work as we do with my ex husband. It will be interesting to get all the kids together. I am sure Jackson and he will get to be partners in crime! And I think my Brittany Belle will think both the boys are idiots and won't pay much attention to them! I really appreciate your encouraging words. And also my girlfriends...who are the closest core group of friends to me were so helpful. I had a lot on my mind the days before and they are who got me though it. And nope.. it wasn't ALL about husby. I had one of the craziest experiences the day before we left that I can't share with you guys but it was beyond shocking and I was just trying to cope with that. But a new day came.. and husby worked hard to help me. but those girlfriends helped me out a lot too. Its very funny now but I prefer to keep it private at least for the time being! But I must say that now the closet takes on new meaning to me! =)
Well its 2am.. I need sleep. Husby has a conference tomorrow in Charlotte with another guy from the dealership so he won't even be back at work tomorrow till after 5pm. I know he isn't crazy about going either. My day consists of laundry, cleaning, and going to the market. The frig smells so I also have to clean that out too. I doubt I will get all I want to do done but I am sure going to try.. plus blog!
Hope you are having a great week!
xoxo
