Emotional

This was such a crazy weekend. What I thought was going to be a nice relaxing weekend at home with my husband turned into a long night at the hospital Friday night and catching up on sleep Saturday and running all over town Sunday.
Let's start with Friday... Jeremy gets home about 6 from work and we are cooking chicken ravioli for dinner (yum!) when my phone rings. It is "S", a girl on my yearbook staff. Her dad has been in the hospital since a motorcycle wreck in November. He has had many complications and is in long term care. She tells me they just met with the dr. and there is nothing more to do. They are taking him off the vent, he is not going to make it. She is hysterical on the phone. I hang up with her and walk into the kitchen in tears and tell Jeremy everything so we eat and head to the hospital. A few hours later he passed away. We were there and it was very sad and emotional and more than what I can ever imagine going through. I have to think that that was God's plan for him because so many people were praying for him to be healed and God's will to be done. It is so hard to think about though...he is gone. I don't know what I would do if I were in that situation. So many things to think about.
So that was Friday...heavy.
Saturday when we woke up it was storming like crazy outside, the perfect day to stay in bed all day. We ate breakfast around 9:30 and fell back asleep until 1. It was amazing! I miss being in college and being able to sleep like that all the time. Then we got up and went to Target, Costco, Publix...the usual Saturday routine. We were going to rent a movie from iTunes. I have been wanting to see 27 Dresses, well apparently iTunes doesn't have movies to rent the day they come out, they get the rental rights about 30 days later. So we rented August Rush. It was so cute! I got a little teary at the end. I tend to get easily involved emotionally in movies/tv shows/books.
Sunday was busy as usual, first service, teach 1st grade Sunday School, lunch, host a wedding shower, lifegroup.
I think our lifegroup is going to plan a trip to go whitewater rafting in the summer. I am excited! I love whitewater rafting!
I go to the dr. today about my ankle. I am really hoping to get my cast off! This is getting to be a pretty big inconvenience! It is heavy and annoying and I just want to wear heels and drive and run and be myself. I have no outlet right now because I can't do any physical activity and running is my release, especially when I have a stressful day. I think that is why I have been subject to cry at the drop of a hat recently. I have no release for all the emotions that build up during the day.
...until next time
