Much Better

I only have a few minutes (I am feeling motivated to clean my room right now and I don't want to lose it!), but I felt like I should update today since yesterdays was so depressing. Today, I had a really good day!

I spent most of it with Bonita and Linda and we had a BLAST!!

First, Bonita, Linda, Monique, Tasha and I all wore matching shirts to church. I LOVED IT!

After church I took Monique and Tasha home (I almost never get time alone with just Bonita and Linda) and then headed to the Verizon store to pick out a new cell phone. I was apparently due for an upgrade last year, but didn't realize it. My old phone has been acting up a lot, so this free upgrade came at the perfect time.

My new phone is sweet! And it was free!! I love free upgrades!! I went into the store with an idea of what I wanted, something simple and functional. Then I found a really cool phone that I really liked, that was free thanks to my upgrade. So, I got it! Here it is:I have never really had a "nice" phone before, so now I'm kinda scared to use it, haha. Actually, right now I'm trying to learn how to use it. I think I'll get the hang of it eventually...

After we got my phone we grabbed some lunch and then headed to Sears to try and find winter coats for the girls. Bonita's prayer pal had sent some money for her to get a coat and we were hoping that it would also cover some of Linda's coat. Boy were we in for a surprise!!

It took less than 5 minutes for both girls to find the exact coats they wanted. Of course, they weren't paying attention to the price so I was a bit worried. Turns out, both coats were on sale for 60% off! So, instead of pay $72 for one coat, we paid $50 for 2! And they are really nice, name brand coats! We were excited!! New phone, new coats and very little money spent! Yay!! (And Bonita's Prayer Pal's money easily covered the coats, and then some!)

After we got the coats we picked up Monique and Tasha, as well as Miguel, and headed to Prayer Pals. We had to move the location of Prayer Pals due to some insurance issues and we weren't sure how it was going to work out. Well, it worked out great! We had our biggest night ever and all the kids wrote great letters and were very well behaved. We also had some extra help from 2 of the moms, which helped make it a really great night at Prayer Pals! (Plus, Carisa was there! I love it when she is around!).

After Prayer Pals it was time to go home. As I was driving Bonita and Linda home (I usually drop them off last), Linda made the comment that today was the first day she can remember not feeling angry or frustrated or getting an attitude with anyone. Bonita commented that she felt the same way. It was a really great day. :)

I don't even want to think about what my life would be like without those two. Thank you Jesus.
