So on my last week of sabbatical I was able to volunteer at an Oklahoma Career Tech with my BFF Tammy Balliet. She teaches Medical Technology. Her class works closely with Integris Nuro Clinic and Vrossings Community Clinic. They intern there as well as volunteer to help with the Alzheimer’s Association to make bags for them and their loved ones. We spent the week assembling the bags with information, books, and pamphlets to deliver to the clinics where I got to meet and talk with patients and health care staff. It’s really nice knowing that if you can touch just one person or family with the volunteering that you do it makes it all worth while. I was even able to get my CPR certification. So much has changed since high school. Lol. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be off for the month and spend it with friends and family. See everyone tomorrow.

Spent the weekend with my son for Mother’s Day. It was a tough weekend for my husband, we lost his mother last year. I’m looking forward to this week, tomorrow I set out to pick up my dad from Thornberry. He will spent the rest of the week with us at the lake. On the 19th we will be hanging out at the VFW for game day, a day for us to spend time helping and visiting with the elderly in our community. I can not tell a lie we will be spending some quality father daughter time fishing off the doc. It will be nice to hang out with dad, he has a hard time getting around these days but we have a golf cart here so we should be ok. I thank god that I have this time to spend with my family life is short but gods love is long. Father thank you for all you do, thank you for the fathers that teach us, the mothers that love us, and the soldiers that protect us, it is in your sons name we pray, amen!

This past weekend my husband drove me to Oklahoma City for a birthday weekend with my family. We enjoyed hours of family time and on Saturday I shared a birthday party with my uncle. It was great food, great friends and family and the biggest surprise was my little sister driving down from South Carolina. It was a weekend I won’t soon forget.  Even if it was for a few days I felt like I was on top of the world.  It’s been amazing to spend that time with my son.  He doesn’t get to visit with family very often and that was a huge thing when I was growing up.  We all said we would try harder to make this happen.  So now we already have two visits planned within the next two months.

We who had sweet fellowship together walked in the house of god  in the throng
