Well that's frustrating. I just had a big long post that vanished. Arrrgh!
Well let's try that again.
So we are embarking on the first ever guys weekend. My Mom had an opportunity to go stay with her sisters and have a little R&R from reality. I cancelled my Super Bowl trip to Vegas, and me and the bro's made it happen. She has been gone almost 27 hours, and I asked my Dad if he was sad that she is not here. Normally the guys would be excited to spend some guy time without the ladies...ESPECIALLY on Super Bowl weekend. He admitted that he was sad, despite my assurance that no other husbands were there. I think he is more sad that he can't take her on these trips, something they once enjoyed doing quite often. I'm sure he had hoped this would have all been over by now.
I baked cookies last night while he played online poker. I got him in a free tournament, and out of 8000 players, he placed in the top 250...granting him a seat at the next tournament where he has a chance to win up to $1000. I am allllll for him making money any way that he can. He and I used to play these tournaments all the time, and this is the first tournament he had won since before the surgery. He seemed to be on a small high from this, and I was elated to see him with a sense of accomplishment again. He could not wait to get out of bed this morning and get his hands on some fresh baked cookies.
Brad and I are going to take him for a little drive now.
Hope all of you are doing well.
All our love,
Chris
