Home Sweet Home!

Swil Kanim stopped by on his way to Carnation. He took Chrisi and I to lunch. Chrisi and I wanted to go to Zoopa's and Swil Kanim had never been there. I think he was a little dissappointed as there was not much there for meat lovers!! But we had a good time but a short visit. He had to get to Carnation for his 8 o'clock performance. He looked really tired and I knew he wanted to get to Carnation early so that he could rest before his show. I know he really would have liked to go with Chrisi and I took pick out a baby crib, but he also knew he had to drive and prepare mentally for he performed.
He is such a good man. I am so Blessed to be a part of his life. I am thankful for his sweet spirit.

After Swil Kanim left, Chrisi and I went to Wal-Mart....BIG mistake. The minute we walked thru the doors we felt anxious and claustrophobic. It was loud, and I am not refering to music playing....it was PEOPLE. There were people everywhere and in every aisle. It seemed like Christmas holiday shopping frenzy. We instantly felt overwhelmed and irritated. So, we made a dash to the baby section to look at there baby cribs. We couldnt get through the aisles. It seemed like every where we went there was someone standing right in front of what we wanted to look at. Our frustration levels peeked and we got the heck out of there.
We then headed to Target. We walked through the doors and there was a peaceful calm.
The whole feel of the place was extremely different than our Wal-mart experience. We spent about an hour in Target and had a much better shopping experience and bought a few little items for Chrisi.
Still no Baby crib.....still looking!
Today Chrisi and I drove to Lynnwood for Chrisi's Dr.'s appointment. She is now 8 days from her due date. It is a wonderful experience to watch her go through all the things that I did 25 years ago. She is excited and anxious. Last night we went to her baby shower and had a good time with some of her friends. Now it's just a waiting game, testing our patience!
It is so wonderful that I am able to be here with her. I am grateful for the understanding, wonderful husband that I have. If he could, he would be here waiting with us but he has a lot of performances in the next few weeks.
God is Good!!

I am spending time with Chrisi and waiting for the arrival of my granddaughter, Sophia.
Her due date is September 14th but we are all hoping for sooner rather than later. In the meantime, Swil Kanim is on the road to all his performances without me. It is hard not to be with him at his performances. I am so used to being there and taking care of all the details, CD's, etc.
On the other hand, it is so good to be with Chrisi and to be in normal living quarters. Chrisi and I are going crazy with boredom. There are so many things we need to do but neither of us has any money to do it with. We really need to get the baby area ready and also all the necessities that Chrisi will need for the hospital. We have to patiently wait for money to come....God will provide. I have every faith in Him and His timing.
