Brit Brit

So last week, a good friend of mine called me to see what I had going on Tuesday night. When I replied, "nothing", she informed that wanted me to go somewhere with her. I agreed, to find out it was to see Britney Spears at the BOK Center in Tulsa. So, last night when I got off of work, she picked me up and we headed to our adventure. Here is something that I really don't understand. There were 3 populations at this concert (1) Gay men (2) Teeny Boppers and (3) Women our aged dressed as if they were prostitutes for Halloween. What is wrong with women these days? No, it is not cute for a 30+ mother to be dressed in a short maxi with boots, wearing sunglasses indoors!!! I think we had more fun making fun of people than watching the show! We got to sit in a suite, which was nice. If I had $60k lying around, I would buy one to watch all concerts at. Free food, free beverages, a personal lounge, comfy cushioned seating...It was a great concert, I have to say, although I didn't get home until 1am!

That being said, at 6:30 last night, on our way to Tulsa my husband called to tell me that he was leaving this morning at 4:45am to catch a flight to North Carolina. He didn't sound that excited until he mentioned it is to depose a doctor at Duke University! Every young man (including my husband) had dreams of going to Duke to play basketball, so I think he is just as excited about seeing Duke as he is speaking to the doctor!

We are still at a stand still in our life; looking for direction. As I wallow in sadness, God points out to me that my life could be worse. In the last 10 days we have had 2 tragedies in my office. My really good friends mother, only 60 years old, died of a random blood clot. It was completely out of nowhere and she is devastated. My heart breaks for her. Then, not but 4 days later we found out that another coworker's baby died. He was only 11 days old. The medical examiner thinks that it was SIDS. The saddest thing was hearing the story. She fed him, put him down and went to sleep. 2 1/2 hours later, she awoke, not hearing him cry and was concerned. She went into the nursery to see him not breathing. As she told it, she instantly tried to remember CPR and as she put her lips onto her son he was already very cold. I cannot imagine. As horrible as my husband and I feel about our situation, it is a horrific reminder that things are always worse. Please keep them in your prayers, they need all of them they can get.

One more thing.... HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ELLY!!!!

We can't wait for your party Saturday!
