playing ketchup (or is it catsup?)

well... like I said, Gabe had a 102 fever and was very fussy on friday so daniel and I left work early and went and got him and took him home... when we got home, he was happy, we gave him tylenol and then motrin (not at the same time), and the fever came down quickly after that, and he was happy and smiley as soon as we got home... so we tell him that he tricked us, he wasnt really sick, he just wanted to come home early... and daniel and I didnt mind too much either... so the rest of the night, we either spent reading (daniel read 'The Notebook' and I am reading "The 5 Love Languages) or watching tv and having a good time... :)

saturday, we went on an outing to tuscaloosa and a good time was had by all - gabe got to either be carried in the snugli or sit up in the stroller - he likes those much better than the carseat... I got a new outfit at the thrift store, and a kitchen stand that weve been desperately needing (no matter what daniel says), and few other things here and there - nothing major... we had dinner at The Diner in Northport - so good! you should go

Sunday, my mom called and wanted gabe for the day, so he went to church with her, and daniel and I went to ours and got to go to Sunday School which we only get to go to sporadically, so then we went home, daniel put the kitchen stand together and I organized it the way I saw fit, and then mom brought gabe back, so we spent the rest of the night playing on the floor and watching a movie

good weekend... thanks for all the prayers for gabe... do not know what was going on friday... maybe he is teething? he has 2 bumps on the bottom (although one he has had for 3 months now!), so not sure if thats it or not... but as long as he isnt ill and is happy, I dont care

on to Daniel, the White Knight

so Friday, we are driving back to my work from lunch and the truck in front of us just breaks (not breaks down, just breaks, mind you)... something dropped from underneath and was dragging down the road, you could hear it, and then the truck broke down, luckily, for the girl in the truck, we were behind her... so daniel stopped our car behind hers, put on the flashers (in lunch hour traffic on hwy 45, no less)... and he got out and talked to her and helped her - she was new to columbus... the guys from auto spa came over and also helped push the truch backwards out of traffic and into a used car lot that luckily happened to be there... so instead of driving around her, daniel got out and helped her out - and all he says about it is "it was nothing" like everyone does this sort of thing... am I lucky or what?

I have a few other things I want to put down, but they can wait as I dont want this post to be 200 pages long...

*quick note: could you please stop after you read this and say a quick prayer where you are at... please pray that God would provide a "Joseph" for us - I will have to explain this later, but this is really important and could really show God to some kids in our youth group... and please have faith when you ask... thanks
