I spent most of the night Saturday night with Brianna, sitting on the back porch/room watching the storm blow in. We talked for several hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. She is a very well put together girl - with the right attitude, a good head on her shoulders, almost like a mini-adult. I needed this time to get a broader picture of these kids' lives. I spent the majority of this time with her listening - not dishing out advice - just listening. She'll figure this one out on her own. I remember meeting her - I chaperoned a choir trip for one of Steve's daughters a few years ago, and Brianna was one of the Jr High girls I was responsible for. She has kept the same path that she told me about back then. I give her BIG credit, as she is just now turning 18.
Yesterday, we made great progress moving out old furniture, and some extra pieces that we do not have room for or space for. I am getting more excited each day to get the painting finished and get the house put back in order.
I woke up this morning, after a completely BLISSFUL night on our new mattresses - and went outside for my coffee - and it was 58 degrees !!! A little cool for my tank top and silk pants but it was wonderful ! THIS is my favorite time of year ! Now I'm REALLY excited !
