Random Act of Kindness

Everyone knows how much I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could eat there every day. Seriously. This morning Will helped me with some "man chores" so I told him I'd treat him to CFA breakfast. As I pulled thru the drivethru, the owner, who knows me by face, said "I'm so glad its you!".
Huh?
She said I'd won the Random Act of Kindness. My meal was FREE!
WOW! I have never been on the receiving end of something like that. I have, several times, paid for the meal of the person behind me at a drivethru, but, never received one. Our local CFA does this every so often and today, I WON!!!
I can't wait to pay it forward!!

Family Update

Since its been over 2 years.....
Me:  Same ole same ole I guess. Still working from home. Still loving the flexibility and know that I'm blessed. Hobbies? Gosh, I need some. I meet my friend for breakfast once a week. I drive the kids to school, sports, clubs. Does that count? I read blogs. I lurk on Facebook. I have just discovered Pinterest. .....I'll get back to you

Alan:  Still teaching 9th grade. Still complaining! LOL  He in trying to become more involved with the mens' group at the church. They have a weekly Bible study and they go on outings. He puts in alot of time practicing guitar, which is his passion right now.

Brenna:  A SENIOR nursing study at Shorter College in Rome. GA.  I'll be the first to admit, I never expected her to follow through with this. She seems to love it. She is beautiful and so smart. She's staying focused on studying, but has a good mix of friends and fun. She definitely seems to have her priorities in the right place.

Larissa: 7th grade. Stays busy with friends, cheerleading, tumbling, swimming, band (flute), and BETA club. I do my best to steer her away from of the drama scene. Girls are hard! Larissa is about 60.5 inches and weighs 105#.

Will: 7th grade. Stays busy with friends, X-box, swimming, band (drums), and BETA club. He just got picked for student of the month. He just finished his 1st year of swimming with the high school swim team. Back in May of the year, he could barely swim one lap. In one of his last swim meets, he swam a 500yd event. That's TWENTY laps folks! Yeap, he's come a long way. Will is about 56 inches and weighs about 73#.
