Happy News

This week has been an eventful one for Glenn and I. The most important thing that happened is that we got the news that we are going to be grandparents again. Yes, our baby girl is going to have a baby!!!!. Debbie and Andrew let us know this past Tuesday that they have a little one on the way. Can you believe it. We are excited beyond words. The Lord has surely blessed this family tremendously. The emotions that I feel as Debbie's mother are simply unexplainable. I am so proud of the woman that she has become. She is an awesome wife and step mom to Andy and Ellis and Kaylynn. Granted that this past year has been a year of ups and downs for all of them, but they've pulled it together and become quite a wonderful family. And now there is a new little one coming into the mix. What a wonderful blessing. My wish for her is a healthy, happy pregnancy. One full of funny little cravings,the awesome feelings when she feels the baby move for the first time , and all the other great moments that the next nine months will bring.
The saddest thing for me about all of this is I'm so far away. I really want to be a part of all of the neat stuff going on in her world. I guess I'll just bug her by phone and start collecting all the little things to spoil my new grandchild. Look out Christoffersens, cause there's a heap of spoiling to be done!

The next cool thing that happened this week is that Will graduated from training atPrime and has his own truck now. He's out there on his own now and doing well. Glenn and I are extremely proud of him. This is a major accomplishment for Will. Maybe he's finally headed toward adulthood. (That would be something after 30 years). Tessa went with him, so we have our new house all to ourselves for the very first time. Man, is that different. It's been very quiet around here as Glenn is out on the road as well. It's just me and the cats. It seems really different.

Glenn and I are planning a quiet Thanksgiving. It'll be just the two of us for the first time. Then the cats and I are planning to hit the road with Dad for a month. We have been invited to spend Christmas in SaltLake with Debbie, Andy, and the kids. Guess what! We are going! We will be bringing the cats back home, parking the rig, and taking our own car to SLC. We are really excited.

I am so greatful for all of the blessings that the Lord has seen fit to pour out on this family. I really don't feel that I deserve all of them. It is very difficult for me to feel worthy of such a wealth of blessings. I'm not sure that I can or am living up to what He expects of me. However, I am most sincerely greatful.

For those who follow Glenn's progress. He passed his DOT physical and is cleared to drive for another year. As far as all the tests have shown, he is cancer free. AWESOME!!!!!! He currently has a fantastic trainee who I have adopted as a "son". We will really miss him when he graduates.

And that concludes the ramblings of an "old woman" for today. God bless you all!
