A Girl's Night

Sometimes in life it takes something frightening to grab you by the neck to get your attention. Our marriage has been such a blessing in my life. My husband has beyond surpassed all that I prayed he could be. It's hard in life when you hit a speed bump. When the blue skies turn grey. (Which has been normal in the weather with us lately) Last weekend I received a scary phone call from my husband. He was at work, and they told him that he needed to be admitted to the ER for some scans. They had found a mass and were worried it was cancer. Um. Wow. One day, you're at a baby shower, planning on leaving to go to a house warming and BAM! Hello life! So I sped (not really, honey :-) to to ER to be by my precious husbands side. All the way thinking of how this was even possible for my husband, my superman, my rock, to be sick. There was no way. I hate hospitals. I hate hospital rooms. I hate hospital beds. I hate blood and nasty IV's that hang everywhere. I hate the smell. I was NOT ready to see my husband in this setting. Nope. I was a wreck the entire way there. Once I got to my husband's side, I was calm and at peace. I was strong. I have this crazy gift to be incredibly strong in difficult, and trying situations. Thank God. We were there all night waiting for more detailed scan results to see if it was cancer or infection, or what! As I sat there, I stared at my husband. In the hospital bed. With and IV in and cords all over the place. In pain. It wasn't fun. At all. After what seemed like days of waiting, the fabulous doctors finally came to a conclusion. My wonderful superman of a husband does not have cancer. The mass was an infection. They treated it with medication and we were told to keep an eye on all of his symptoms. If they went away in 10 days, he would be fine, and there would be no reason for him to follow up. Thank God, after the longest 10 days of my life, the infection is gone, and my husband is healthy! Praise God! I love my husband so much, and I am even more thankful when God blesses our family with another day of gorgeous life.
During this same week, we were informed that my granddaddy of 94 was put in the hospital as well. Shoo. It was a long and discouraging week to be honest! He's now home and healthy. I swear, that man conquers everything!
On the first day my husband went back to work, my sister and I had had tickets for a while for an event. "Death By Chocolate" Florida's Funny Lady. We were very excited, but didn't really know what to expect. So we met up for dinner and headed to the event. Once we walked in, all we saw was a sea of women, chocolate, boas, tiaras, and PINK was EVERYWHERE!!! We both gasped and if you know me, you could only imagine my reaction to all of this! It was amazing! Then we sat down. The Florida's Funny Lady is a Christian Comedian who can make you laugh until your cheeks hurt! (Isn't that the BEST feeling! Especially after the week we'd had!) Then she shares her testimony and makes you feel like God loves you more than anything. And He does! It was JUST the EXACT thing that I needed (God knew! He's so clever!) after such an insane week that we had had. God loves me, He thinks that I am beautiful, and I can survive anything!
