AWESOME-ER

I had a vistor last night. It was after 8 o'clock p.m. Any other night my kids would have been in bed but I promised them girl scout cookie flavored ice cream. They were waiting for me to deliver. There was a knock at the door. From upstairs I rolled my eyes at someone knocking at my door after my kids were supposed to have been in bed. This better be an emergency! Looking over the bannister I see Danny open the door. I tried to catch a glimpse at who's there. I see long, light colored hair... okay. I've identified its NOT my neighbor. I see her face and her smile. Its my Auntie Mary. I flew down the stairs. and hugged her so tight i almost squeezed the life out of her and knocked her over. oh yeah and the kids were excited too. I felt like a 9 year old girl. I was so excited and overcome with emotion. No matter who, how or what... my Aunt Mary is one of my favorite people.
I've not seen her in a couple months. It was a suprise visit. She was in the area, on her way back home from visiting a friend in a near-by city and decided to stop by. She doesn't live that far away.. but we don't always get to see each other as much as we'd like to.
I'd had a great day... i was productive.. had fun with my kids. They played outside. Danny fixed dinner. It was delicious. I put all the laundry away. swept the floor and was watching Dancing with the Stars. I was happy my day was so awesome... and then she showed up and made it AWESOME-ER. We had a great visit... caught each other up to speed on somethings and then she left.
I laid in bed after everyone was sleeping and God revealed to me, ONCE AGAIN, that he has a way more AWESOME-ER plan than I could ever dream up or attempt to put into action. I thought about memories I've had with Auntie Mary.... and it made me happy.... happy that God has kept her in my life.
