Interesting Week

This has been an interesting week for us. It all started when the dogs ate fire ant killer. The next day Thursday, Brent left to go Florence for a night - he was speaking at several schools and 2 church events Thursday and Friday. So I was all prepared to spend the night by myself and study for the DiscipleNow I was teaching that weekend. About 8:00, I heard the dogs making some noises on the front porch. There are a few cords on the porch and I wanted to make sure they were not chewing on anything they shouldn't. I went outside and closed the door to the house so they wouldn't go in, I saw they were fine and went to open the door when......TA-DA! I discover I am locked out of the house. HA!! I couldn't believe it! It was kinda funny actually. So here I am walking around the house in the dark checking all windows and doors - they were all locked. I was thankful that it was a semi-warm night and that all the porch lights were on and that my car was unlocked. I considered sleeping in the car for about a minute and decided that was ridiculous. I should just walk to neighbors and call my mom and dad - b/c Brent is in Florence. Only it's completely dark outside, I have never met my neighbors, and there is a rapist on the loose in Cullman County. None of these were extremely comforting to me. But then again, I wasn't really scared either. Actually not at all. In fact it was kind of adventurous!! But for some reason I think I thought I should be scared- so after about 20 minutes of wondering around looking for a rope or something to tie around my Cody's neck (the dog) so he could go with me, I found one in the trailor we used to move furniture. Cody and I armed with an iron stair spoke headed off to the neighbors. They were extremely nice and let me and Cody to use the phone. We talked while we waited for my dad to come and discovered we had mutal friends.
Needless to say everything was fine, I stayed at my mom and dad's that night and my dad met Brent in Florence to get the key. The only negative about the whole thing was that I did not get to study much for the DiscipleNow. Although, I had previously looked at the material, I still had a lot to do.

DiscipleNow was alright.

Then Monday I was eating lunch at home and I looked out the window and I see Cody running towards the house - it was as if he was running a victory run. I saw in his mouth was a CHICKEN!!! Well what was left of it anyway - I thought it looked as though the chicken had been dead for a few weeks or so - disgusting! I ran outside and grabbed the rake! I was hoping Cody would drop it and I could rake it away from him. Hurley - the other dog- was not going to miss out on the fun and took off after Cody trying to grab the chicken. It was a sight to behold. Two black labs running in the yard with few week old dead chicken in the mouth and me running behind them with a rake! LOL! :) Go ahead and laugh - I am!
Finally they ran under a forsythia bush and I couldn't get to them. They ate the chicken - it was really disgusting. So that concluded my lunch for the day.

Wednesday, Brent had ankle surgery - so he has been hobbling around in a boot and crutches for the week and will be on those at least till Thursday when he goes back for his check-up.
He started therapy last Thursday - where we discovered that the insurance does not pay for physical therapy. Isn't that lovely? But it won't be too much esp. since Brent has done so much therapy before, he only has to go once a week and I think they cut us deal.

I had a job interview on Friday. It went fairly well. At least, I would hire me! :)
They will call tomorrow if I get a second interview and that interview will take place on Tuesday and I could possibly start Wednesday! So I've just been praying about it. We'll see.

Then this weekend, I went to a Beth Moore conference in Nashville. It was at Two Rivers. I have never been to a Beth Moore conference. It was really good. Travis Cottrell and his band lead the worship - they did an amazing job. His voice is amazing! I thought I could listen to him for hours. I would love to hear he and his wife to a duet. Her voice was beautiful too!
The conference was for minister's wives. So Amy, Julie, Jill and I spent the weekend together and had a fabulous time!

So for us this week was pretty eventful - or at least had some funny events (and serious ones)
Now on to next week! Who knows what it will bring?!

Have an adventure this week.
