Thursday Countdown 3 weeks until I see Gary and 9 until he is home for good

First thing I am excited about is a tender mercy from God about this trip I am going to be taking. I had a confirmed flight there and didn't know exactly what to do for flight home. I could fly standby on Jetblue but there were a lot of things that would go into that including a car rental, an hour and a half car ride on top of possible not making it on flights. It wasn't ideal but it was my only option instead of paying a lot of money we couldn't afford. Well my mom has points that she was willing to let me use on a different airline but we couldn't find a flight at the points we wanted. SO I started looking at flying into Las Vegas and other options. Today I was checking to make sure Vegas points were the same if I booked it and accidentally looked at flying into SLC. There was a flight for the points that we wanted!!! I got a booked flight HOME! Thanks of course to my wonderful and generous mother of mine!She is using HER points on ME! She has done so much for me these past few months and I am in awe of her kindness and generosity. Its so wonderful.

I only had one hard day this past week-there tends to be at least one a week. It wasn't too difficult I just had a little pitty party, talked with Gary, cried a little and then moved upward and onward. Gary had a good experience and helped me with being stronger.

Gary is doing great! He's such a strong guy and changing every day its amazing to see.

I don't have a lot to say this week but I am doing GREAT! Jackson is fun, starting to smile more, weighs about 12 pounds now! and is healthy. I am learning more everyday on how to be a good mom, what Jackson likes and doesn't, how to attend to certain needs and I know there are only tons more learning experiences to come. Happy, healthy, life is good and 3 weeks is going to come FAST! :).

I decided that although its long past the video of surprising Gary should be posted somewhere on this blog. Its not the best as the person shooting the video camera couldn't see what she was shooting because the sun was too bright and it came all too quickly for her to say anything. But nonetheless I love it. You can see a little of his great emotion that he really did have! I sure LOVE this man. (I don't know how to make the video better clarity as its not bad on my original copy, not savvy enough.)
HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE!
