Valentines!

My Valentines weekend has been great! On Friday I left work early and on the way home I got a phone call. I didn't recognize the number so I almost didn't answer it but then I was thought "no..I'm going to go ahead and answer it." Annnd here's kinda how that convo played out.

Lady-"Rachel? This is so & so from so & so. We have a delivery for you but we can't find you."

In my head I was thinking.. "a delivery..? what? For me?"

Lady- "Do you work at the hospital? The person just left a message and your cell phone number, they didn't know for sure which building you worked in."

Me-"Yes..I work in the hospital..but I have another call can you hold on one second?"

Lady- "Sure"

Me- "Hello?"

"Hi this is the Saint Francis Flower Delivery Room and we have some flowers here for you but we can't find you where do you work?"

Me- "I work in Health Information...but I've already left... I guess I can come back and get them."

SFHS-"Yes that would be great, we would hate for you to not get them, they're very pretty!"

>At this point I'm like in TOTAL shock! And trying to figure out what was going on!<

Me- (I switched back the flower lady) "That was Saint Francis and they have them, I had already left work but I'm going to go back and get them."


It was a crazzzzy ordeal!! All the way back to work I was like who would have sent me flowers that only has my cell phone #??? And doesn't know for sure where I work in SF??? HMMMMM...... Once I got to the flower room and got my flowers I was DYING to open the card. When I opened it I about fainted!!! I was just like Oooh mmmyyy word!!! I had thought of this person...but I was like nahh I don't think he would! BUT he did! And it totally made my day! ;)

My flowers!!

I had gotten flowers once before...it was a single rose and it was from a guy that worked in laundry at SF...right across the hall from me. I didn't even know him..but it was sweet... These flowers are from someone I know and it was DEFINITELY SWEEEEET!!! =)

I left work early so I could have PLENTY of time to get ready for that night. I went to a V-day banquet... I was nervous about it but it ended up being a G-R-E-A-T night! I reallllly enjoyed it! =D

Saturday-

I spent most of the day doing some cleaning and then baking. For sunday school I made close to 40 cupcakes, of course some will be staying here, and then I made some sugar cookies! =) I bought little cups and filled them with candy and little toys for the kids..they're so cute! Hope they like them! =)

I love the little cupcake liners! =)

NO!!

I wonder if Sammy would act the same way??!!! =)

So often I find myself complaining about the smallest things. They definitely seem big to me but compared to things that could go wrong, they're small. I have SO much to be thankful for that I really shouldn't even have the time to be complaining. God had truly been good to me. To be born in America is one of the biggest blessings that I've been given and yet so often I never even stop and thank the Lord for it. We take so much for granted. I was listening to a program the other day about life in Sudan. The pain and misery that's over there was almost to much to comprehend. People die everyday from starvation and infections (infections that can be treated with simple antibiotics.) Humans are sold as slaves and girls as young as 10 are sold to be "wives". How sad is that? My heart about broke when I heard of some of the incidents that happen. There is not a real system of law; if you have the gun then you're the one who's boss. That's basically how it's ran. So how are they supposed to stop people from killing others and taking the kids to sale? Ever since I heard that program my heart has been heavy for them. I wish I could do more than just pray for them, however, prayer is the strongest thing that can be done for them. I'm not sure how I got on this subject but I just wanted to share with everyone how I was feeling! The next time you're having a bad day just stop and think of how much worse it could be (and I am also talking to myself!!)!! We are soooo blessed!!!
