Little Did I Know: Saturday Snapshots

9:41 PM

(more "life" updates soon, been a crazy/rough/light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel kind of week...)

Today Olivia and Liam and I headed to Six Flags to activate our season passes.

The kids get big, friend birthday parties at ages 5, 10, and 16, so this summer is Olivia's big 10th birthday.

When we were discussing her party and talking through options, she decided instead of a big party with many friends, that she'd like to invite three friends and go to Six Flags for the day.

Upon researching, I discovered that for only $60 MORE, we could get season passes for the four of us, as the days we would go for her party were bring a friend for just $15 days on the season passes, so we opted to go for the passes!

The weather, which was wonderful early in the week, turned COLD and RAINY!

But we had three GREAT hours to start the day and because of the weather there was hardly anyone there!

That meant we were able to go on most everything with little wait.

And Olivia who is now tall enough to ride anything (her goal for oh-so-long), was able to go on the rides she has LONGED to ride while Liam and I waited!

This series of pics makes me cry for laughing so hard! He talked about riding a "little" coaster all day, so when we finally got there he was thrilled!

But once it was actually going he HATED it and Olivia and I could NOT help but just CRACK UP (poor kid!).

Phew, all over!

Started raining right as we were about to leave! A great morning!

Afterwards, we headed to a nearby mall for lunch and a little shopping (found some AMAZING deals!).

The weather didn't stop US! :)

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
