Wednesday Musings

Just a few thoughts for a Wednesday afternoon...

My grandparents house was listed for sale last week, my mom showed us the listing on Saturday.  At first glance, I was really pleased with how well the house looked and I knew the time was coming to sell it.  But the longer I thought about it and looking through the listing again the next morning it really sunk in that we are selling the house.  I thought about sitting on the couch looking out the window at all the snow.  I thought about how many mornings my grandfather would cook us pancakes in the kitchen or how many thanksgiving meals we sat around the kitchen table preparing (or really dancing and singing) thanksgiving dinners.  And the time when there were so many of us for thanksgiving one year we had dinner in the basement on the ping pong table.  There are so many wonderful memories in that house, too many to count.  But it’s not about the house, it’s about the people we shared those times with, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents. So while I’m sad that we are selling the house, I’ll always cherish the wonderful memories we had there.

We are starting the interviewing process to fill my position today.  I’m actually really nervous about it.  I have never interviewed someone before.  I Googled some good interview questions but I’m nervous that I won’t be able to tell who the right candidate for the spot is.  Thankfully, I’m just giving a recommendation and not making the final decision. 

We are headed to the Hawks game.  The only other time I have been to a professional basketball game was a few years ago when the Hawks made the playoffs and were playing the Bulls.  My mom gave Ryan tickets to the game for his birthday.  Growing up we would watch the Bulls in my grandparents basement but since then I've hardly paid much attention to professional basketball.  I know my husband is thrilled to be going, me on the other hand, I’m more concerned with how late we will be out tonight and missing Nashville.  I’m such a nerd.

An update on my friends mom, she thankfully does not have encephalitis, however she has an infection in the bone in her ear which is causing vertigo and still battling shingles. If you could, please continue to keep her in your prayers.
