3rd week of February

David's dad, Paul, visited us this weekend. His birthday is the 20th and Shanndon's is the 17th, so he came to celebrate. Apparently he's met a new woman (rolling eyes). This is after the long talk we all had over New Years, where he swore he was "giving up looking for a wife and leaving it in God's hands. She was visiting her grown daughter (I think) or something and he came up to visit us, so he's all giddy about how they are going to have a nice valentine date after he returns home. All weekend he was hinting around to marriage, but saying how they are building their friendship and how this is different (they all are!!!!). BLAH BLAH BLAH. How many soul mates can you have in a lifetime?! SERIOUSLY? This is 4 in 4 years!!!!! The man is so lonely! Other then that, it was a nice weekend. He brought Shanndon 2 big Star Wars figures, from when David and Chris were little boys. Dad attended a social at our Pastor's house with us. The Pastor and his family are fairly "new" to the church, they came in August..and they're trying to invite groups of people to get to know them better. This was the "Adult 1" group. They had a BBQ and we brought side dishes and such. It was very cool. We played a game and got to meet a bunch of other young couples...one couple just recently married, others with kids our ages, some with older kids, some divorced, some single, several are military! The church feels "BIG" to me, so it was nice to be in a smaller setting. I was torn between skipping this event cause dad was visiting or sucking up my pride and asking if he could attend as well. I so badly wanted to go...so I sucked it up and they welcomed him happily. It was very nice. I was able to be a way better host for dad then last time-New Years-cause I'm much better. Still wouldn't recommend a middle body lift...even 4 months later!!!! On the middle body lift front...still painful, lots of itching, tingling, often tired...but I do feel WAY better!!!!!!!!!!
