Today was a much needed day. Monday will make 2 weeks since Olivia has blessed our home. Dallas and my mother have both been hinting around about me getting out of the house. I thought Mama just wanted me to get out so she could watch Olivia. Little did I know she knew what was needed. I have not been out since we came home from the hospital and then two days later a quick trip back to the doctor’s office for Olivia to get checked out. After lunch I convinced myself to get out for a while, so I called one of the best babysitters in town, Honey, my mother. To most, this outing might not seem like much, but it was the best outing I had been on with Dallas in a while. We drove to the big town of Kountze to the courthouse, so I could see Dallas’ new office. For those of you who do not know Dallas left the DA’s office in Newton County and accepted the Assistant DA’s position in our home county, Hardin. After leaving the courthouse we then drove around and went to Sonic and had a diet Dr. Pepper and shared an order of onion rings. We laughed that the wine and dining dates and drives to Houston to go out to eat are over with. When we returned home we found Olivia had another special visitor ride over on his bike to stay with her, my Daddy, Happy. It was nice getting out and returning home knowing that we are blessed not only to have such a special daughter, but also knowing that our family, whether it be my parents or Dallas’ they are here to call on anytime we need them.
