A Couple of Updates!

So here it is....We have a new Pastor! The Church voted and the Esteps' accepted! Thank the Lord! It feels good to have a pastor again! They are not coming until September 28. So it is a little less than two months, but it still feels good.

Christian had his surgery today! It went really well. He did SOOOO good! Children's Mercy is a GREAT hospital! I would recommend it to anyone that has kids! We got there at about ten till 7am this morning. He was wide awake and happy. We got checked in and then the nurse called us back to get him ready for the surgery. She was really great with Christian and I think that he had a crush on her! Yes my son is a flirt! Anyways we got him changed into his tiny little gown and socks! Everything was kid size! It was awesome! She took him into the "Toy Room" that is where the scale and blood pressure machines were and there was shelves of TOYS!!!! Christian was in Heaven! When she took his blood pressure she turned on this bubble machine, and we all know that my son LOVES bubbles! It took his mind off of the cuff squeezing his leg! Again I can't say it enough, that hospital was GREAT!!!! Then we just had to wait to talk to the Doctors and while we were waiting for that, he was able to drive around in a toy car! No one seemed annoyed with him driving it around and he was completely comfortable! He was not stressed and was not crying. It was great! We talked to the Doctors and then it was time for him to go to the OR. We walked with him most of the way, and then we gave kisses and hugs and Jory and I waited until his surgery was done! It took like 10 minutes or so. It was VERY quick. Dr. Roh came out and said that he did great and it would not be long until we were able to go back and see him! Then a guy from post op came and got us. We went back and on the way back to the recovery room he said you might not get him back, because he was winning over all the nurses in post op! LOL I said " I know my son is the biggest flirt!" We walked around the corner and he said "MOMMY, DADDY!!!!" In a tired sort of voice. He was sitting on a nurses' lap. She gave us the discharge instructions and paperwork and she said that he could get dressed and we could go! He got a shirt from them and lots of love! We were out of there at 8:45 am! I know!! That is FAST!!!! We came home and he acted normal! He played for a while and then he was starting to get fussy and so I gave him some Tylenol and put him to bed. He slept for about 3 1/2 hours. He has been playing ever since!

Okay I know that you did not need to know the details, but it is my blog and I can ramble if I want to! So that is that!

New Pastor???

Well I went to church last night for a meeting to meet the new possibility for our pastor! His name is Dr. Brad Estep. He has been a pastor for a little over 15 years. He is currently serving in central FL. I really liked him. His wife is really nice as well! Her name is Dawn. They have two kids Christopher and Katheryn (12 and 10) To tell you the truth, it was a little weird last night. Not meeting him, but the whole fact that I was close with Pastor Tim and Cindy. I felt like I was comparing them (Brad and Dawn) to Tim and Cindy. I had a little break down on the way to the church. It was all the sudden and I could not help myself, but I cried. I know that we as a church have to move on and heal, but I want Tim and Cindy back! I guess you can call it my selfish wants but I miss them. The good thing was that they had similarities to Tim and Cindy. I really like what Dr Brad Estep said last night. He had really good answers to questions that the congregation had. He said that that it doesn't matter the worship styles as long as we have one goal to work together to make the mission of the church real and help bring people to the Lord. I really liked that! Well, we vote on Sunday and I guess we will see. I hope we get a new pastor soon. I don't think that our church could heal without the leadership. I really think that this guy could help with that! So we will see!
