Lord Move or Move Me

The other day I heard this song on the radio which I haven't heard for several years. I almost had to pull the car over because of the tears. Several years ago at a very low time in my life I took a trip by myself. At that time I was searching for some answers and made a list of things I needed to turn over to God. After walking on the beach and praying over each item, the Lord urged me to then throw away the list because I couldn't hang on to those things anymore. I walked out in the water and throw the list into the water and watched the waves wash away the piece of paper. Then I looked down and a sea shell was sitting on top of my foot. The Lord took my hurts and left me with His promise. This song came to my mind and meant a lot to me.
Here is the words to the chorus:
Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move), or move me.

This is just a very short version of all that happen but it is the highlight. I will never forget what God did for me that day and I keep the shell on my window sill in the kitchen so I am reminded daily.

Wisdom Teeth

At Malori and my last dentist appointment it was decided we both need to get our wisdom teeth out. Malori's bottom ones are coming in sideways and before it messes up all the brace work we had done they need to come out. I have one top tooth that is braking apart. In fact when I chew parts of the tooth fall out. The other top one is falling down. Which to me doesn't seem like a problem but about 20 plus years ago I had the one under pulled and apparently since the top one doesn't have anything to hold it up it is pull down and can pull down the jaw bone. Then the bottom tooth that is perfectly fine has to come out because now if you pull the top one you don't have anything keeping it down. Why didn't they know all of this 20 years ago when I had the first one pulled?
So today was the day Malori had hers pulled. Kevin took her and she did OK but they had a hard time getting one of the bottom ones out. They had to cut out part of the root. The top 2 hadn't even broke through yet so she is all stitched up. One side of her face is pretty swollen. The funny thing is they gave her pain meds which she has been taking every 4 hours, but it isn't making her sleepy. Really weird. They knocked her out and she came out of it pretty alert and hasn't sleep but about 2 or 3 hours all day. If I take pain med I usually sleep all day.
I wanted to take her picture to put on here but she refused to let me. Whats up with that? I did manage to get her to eat some chicken broth. I sure hope mine goes better in a couple of weeks!
You wouldn't believe how expensive it was to get hers out. $3700. Thank goodness for at least some insurance! Mine won't be but about half of that. I am definitely in the wrong business. Maybe we should have done what they did in the old days, go to the barber! I happen to know one.

The Love Boat

Where has this month gone? It has been a crazy month so far. We knew Malori would be going on a cruise in March every since October. We decide we wanted to go but would book our own tickets and not go with the school. We weren't sure who all could go and so we delayed getting tickets. Finally the first part of March we booked our tickets just a week and a half before we were to leave. We got a confirmation, and emails the next day. Then we get a phone call stating we lost our tickets. They didn't come out an totally admit the problem but they over booked it. So in one week we were to be on a boat that we took vacation time for and to watch our daughter preform on a ship, but we didn't have tickets. We did get our names on a waiting list and called 3 to 4 times every day to check. We were told if we showed up at the dock and someone didn't show up we could get their room. So we decided to take a chance.

Wednesday Kevin, Cortni, and I took off for New Orleans. We arrived at the port around 11 and checked in. They put our names on the top of the list and told us to come back at 3. Everyone is suppose to be checked in by 2:30 and the ship was scheduled to leave at 4. We walked around the French Quarters for awhile and then headed back to the port.

It was about 10 till 3 when we checked in again. We were told to wait and they would see if they could find a room. At about 3:45 we were told to head up to check in, they weren't sure yet but just in case wanted us to be ready. We left our suitcases by the front and went through security and to the registration. The workers were all leaving (because everyone else was on the boat) but the manager had to call and finally found us a room on a sold out ship.

We were trying to check in but then they realized our luggage wasn't going to make it so Kevin and Cortni took off back out of the terminal to get it. Then back through the security carrying all of our luggage while I continued to get us book. We then ran through the tunnel and made it on the ship about 4:10.

to be continued . . . . ..

watchin the boat we really want to be on!
