the smell of a new baby...bliss.
this weekend was interesting. we decided last minute to go to baton rouge to visit family and try to buy a much needed suit for wesley (he's ushering in a wedding this weekend) and a dress for me for the aforementioned wedding. on the way down, we had a wreck that could have totaled our car. we won't know until tomorrow morning. the car ahead of us hit their brakes really fast, and in order to not run into the back of them (and probably killing them &/or us) we swerved to miss them, but the highway was wet, so we skidded off the road and off the shoulder. thankfully, no one was injured. the car wasn't squished or anything. the seating part wasn't affected, just the front of the car. oh, and we took out some sign with our side-view mirror...yes, the mirror we JUST got fixed. blech. so, the people are evaluating it now, and i am praying.
so, after all of that mess, we went to my sister's house and spent the night, which considering the circumstances, was really restful. the next morning we slept in and then went to get wesley's hair cut at the new aveda. it was incredible. we've been to aveda before, but this time it was an experience. the guy who cut his hair was also in massage therapy school, so he ended up giving wesley a neck and shoulder massage complimentary (which was exactly what he needed with a touch of whiplash from the night before), and i got a complimentary facial while i waited (which is always exactly what any girl needs). oh, we also got a goodie bag filled with a certificate for a free hair therapy thing (some sort of moisturizing treatment) and miniature sized aveda products! hooray! then, after that wonderful time, we went to tsunami, one of our all-time favorite (wes's all time favorite) places to eat. after lunch, we went by the dg house so i could feed the baby for a bit, and then back out again shopping. we got wesley's suit for $115, and my dress for $75, originally $180. so, i would call it a successful shopping day, though i can't exactly call the entire trip successful....i don't guess. i don't know. i haven't figured out (nor will i ever) this whole God-is-sovereign thing in respect to practical life. but, i can't argue with scripture, and i know that God works all things for the good for those who are called according to His purpose. i guess we'll just have to wait and see how that looks.
