I picked her up early from school on Friday, for we would not be late this time! The buses would leave a bit after 3:30, and she refused to go home first. So, with bags picked before school, she would just wear her school clothes on the bus. This would be her first time going to camp as a TEEN and socially more comfortable since she was back in school.
I already would miss her when we snapped a photo in front of her Bus 7. Praying that she would meet a friend on the bus and in her cabin, I had to trust that God would provide.
They were off, and I got an early text from Tot before she had to put her phone away.
It was now time for The HHH and me to have a weekend. We’d hang out on Friday night watching a movie and just talking. My other prayer was for my health to cooperate so we could enjoy our Saturday.
In the meantime, the bus arrived and we could relax knowing she was probably roasting marshmallows and looking for her hoodie.
Doug and I went to the gym and then headed to Starbucks. It was so nice to not have an agenda but just to talk and share our hearts. Laughing was important as well, right? At each other which we often do..THANK GOD! We both need a little levity. You just HAVE to find the funny in everything or you might as well shoot yourself (or the other person). HA!
The night was fun! We made a yummy dinner, watched a great movie, and hung out with Coopy. Perfect. We also could rest knowing the Tot was in good hands.
My biggest prayer this weekend was for Tatum to have an EXPERIENCE with Jesus. For her to meet Him again. She does believe so deeply, but she even admitted that she needed a tune up. I cannot wait to see her on Sunday.
She’ll come home to some fun gifts from FIVE BELOW, a heart balloon, her three little chickens, and the BIGGEST kiss and hug from me. I missed you Tot!!
She would walk into her room to this!
