Thank God for Friends

Greg and Nicole Foster rock my world.

Last week, Andy and I were hit with the stomach flu (and I do mean hit). He was out Thursday and I was out on Friday. On Saturday we were supposed to leave to go to Normal, IL, for a friend's wedding. As I was yakking on Friday night at 11pm I was sure there was no way we could make it. However, Saturday dawned and I felt better. I still didn't want to eat (who could blame me?), but was good enough to travel. We were getting ready to take Joshua over to my dad so we could leave for Normal, when dad calls. Now HE is sick. Uh oh. What do we do? We brainstormed. My mom was off of work at 6pm, and could watch him then, but what do we do in the meantime since we have to leave at noon?

Well, we called the Fosters. I apprehensively asked Nicole if she could watch Joshua for 6 hours, and she responded of course! (I told you they rock my world). In fact, they were going to Bethelhem (A Salvation Army event in Chicago) and would be over in our neighborhood so they could pick him up. What service! It all worked out well in the end. Andy and I got 24+ hours of being adults, Joshua had a great experience, and my mom and dad still got to play with their grandson (which they were looking forward to). Thanks so much Greg and Nicole!
