This was one of the weirdest days for our family--and for our community.
My parents were still here, Kelsey was still here, Maryn was still on break, so we were kind of stuck in between getting back to normal life and still stuck in Christmas vacation mode.
We had tickets to Wicked (!) in the afternoon, but there was a big "to do" list so we wanted to get as much done as we could before getting ready for our fun afternoon.
We had a huge fight--the biggest one we have had in a while. All four of us were yelling--ok all three of us. I don't think Kelly yelled. All of us were under stress and I think the cork just blew.
This was the day that six people were killed. Shot in front of Safeway at a political event. It is a terrible tragedy for all involved and I am sure it will take months for everyone to heal.
We thought for a moment about going to that event, to hear our congress woman Gabrielle Giffords. That felt weird.
We had a nice talk as a family and made-up! And we had a great time at Wicked. We tried a new Mexican restaurant afterwards and had an enjoyable evening.
We tuned to the radio for the latest news on the shooting, hoping for the best.
We are praying for our community and our country. It seems to me that it is just going to get more difficult and we need help to find the good! Events like this make you take inventory, look at your priorities and confirm your beliefs.
