"Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from You." As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. The sorrows of those who run after another god shall mulitply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. The LORD is my chosen protion and my cup; You hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For You will not abandom my soul to Sheol, or let Your holy one see curruption. You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16

Today was a lot better. The girls and I had a full day of running around, painting, and playing. It's fun to get little projects done around the house. Not only does it keep my mind off of things but it also is exciting to know how suprised B will be when he gets home. (note: I am not doing anything that we haven't already talked about...just to set the record straight :) )

On that note...we are getting our deck done...and today we were finally able to enjoy some sunshine on it! It is soooo great! I cannot say enough about it. Tom did an amazing job on it and I'm so excited for B to come home and see it. He will love it!
