Emotional Rollercoasters

The past few days have been quite the rollercoaster. Friday night we found out a six week old daughter of a couple we know from church passed away due to issues with her heart. No matter the circumstances that is heartbreaking. The weekend was pretty easy going as Scott worked most of it and we stuck close to home or church.

Yesterday morning though we awoke to horrible news that a 41 yo man in our church passed away unexpectedly. He is a guy that we know from church but Scott also worked with him in a past job and we have also worked with him with the children’s and youth ministries at church. He has a daughter in our youth group now as well as a son that is about 9.

Yesterday I tried to work and also make Lexi’s birthday special. I took the girls to see HSM3 which was amazing. I think my favorite. After that high we had to go to the baby’s visitation. The viewing was open casket which was quite sobering although she looked like a sweet baby angel. And then we came home and had a cake for Lexi and a few presents.

This morning I was up extra early to vote and stood in line for nearly two hours. After that I headed up to the office for most of the day. By 3:30 though I was just done. And now I’m not surprised to be lounging in my silk pj’s watching the election coverage which could be one of the biggest events in history.

So you can see we’ve had a lot of ups and downs the past few days and mostly downs. I’m guessing it won’t really slow down until after the funeral on Thursday and I hope this weekend we can take the time to celebrate the girls’ birthdays and enjoy family as much as possible.
