From happy to sad...

It's amazing what can happen in a week.  This week I have seen a friend have the best thing in the world happen to them, and seen another friend have the worse thing happen to them.  Birth and death, one brings such joy and the other such sorrow.

Laura had her baby this week, it was a boy.  His name is Max and he came about 10 days early.  He is so adorable.  He has Laura's big feet already.




Mandy, on the other hand, had a tough week.  On Tuesday her father was life flighted to the hospital after falling off a ladder.  He passed away and she has been in Houston with her mom and sister planning the funeral this week.  I feel her pain so much and I know its going to be a rough few months ahead for her and her mom.  The funeral is Monday so we will drive to Houston to be there for her and I organized my entire street to send her a really big bouquet of flowers, so hopefully it will bring her some happiness in this dark dark time.


Ali and I are going on a girls weekend trip to Traavasa spa in Austin to mark the anniversary of her mom passing a few years ago.  We are going to relax, go to the spa and just hang out.  Next year, seems like we will be inviting Mandy to join us as well.
