Time For An Update

Thankfully this week has been going by quickly. It's been quite a week. I had something weighing on me this week and after prayer I have my answer, so I feel much better right now. It was something I needed clear direction on and God provided it for me, so now I'm at peace.

Earlier this week we had a scare at work. My favorite little boy had a seizure out on the playground. He started as an infant last year about a week after I started and we formed a special bond. He moved across the hall in August, but he still comes in my room in the afternoon to visit me! It was pretty scary in the moment. I wasn't out there when it happened, but saw one of his teachers carrying someone in and was rushing down the hallway. My co-worker stuck her head out the door so see what was going on and I found out it was my little man she was rushing up there. About 2 minutes later we heard the sirens. It took everything in me to stay in my room and not run up there, but I knew I couldn't do anything anyway. Thankfully his dad only works about 2 minutes away from the daycare and got there right behind the ambulance. I did a lot of praying though, throughout the entire day. The staff all know he's my little guy, so a bunch of them were asking if I was okay! Jacob forgot his phone at home that morning, but when he got home I ended up crying as I was telling him what happened.

We found out later that he was doing well and that they were keeping him overnight to keep an eye on him. He went home yesterday and today dad brought him in to my room so I could see him. I scooped him up and gave him the biggest hug...and told him not to scare me like that again! So that was our big adrenaline rush of the week!

In other news...I'm loving this weather. It's been a little hot, but it cools off at night and it's perfect. I'm excited that October starts tomorrow. I can break out the Halloween decorations. That probably won't happen until Sunday or sometime next week though. I love October!

Tomorrow night we're hopefully meeting up with Jacob's college friends. They'll be in Decatur visiting from Chicago, so we're going to go out to dinner probably. I'm excited to meet them because I've gotten to know them on Facebook and so I already feel like I actually do know them. Vanessa is having a baby soon so I couldn't resist picking up a gift. Baby shopping is so much fun!

Saturday we're going to the Illinois game. It's against Ohio State...so I'm pretty sure we know what's going to happen. But I DESPISE Ohio State so I'll really be cheering on the Illini! I'll be praying for a miracle! Then we're going to go to Villa Grove and spend the night there. Jacob's sister will be there too so we'll celebrate her birthday. And of course I've gotta watch the Iowa game Saturday night and cheer on my boys!
Jacob and his dad will be going to the Cards game on Sunday, so I'll drive home sometime after lunch.

I have a feeling the weekend is going to fly by WAY too fast!
