Well, this year was a little different of a New Year's....a few weeks before Christmas Maranatha fell and tore her ACL having some fun with the girls from her Small Group at church. To make a long story short she had to have surgery. The same time she scheduled surgery (due to insurance purposes) was the same time Alfred had scheduled the College Ministry Ski Trip so.....at 1:30 on Wednesday, December 31st I found myself sitting in the Surgery Center Waiting room beginning a new book and sipping on my large sweet tea from Chick Fil A waiting on my sweet friend to get through surgery. Dr. Danney came walking through the door at 4:45 to tell me "all was well." Phone calls started....first to Alfred while he was enjoying the slopes at Breckenridge, second to NeeNay and Poppa in Memphis, and third to Momma T. Sent a mass text message out to about 8-10 people who had been praying for her surgery. At about 6:00 we were ready to load up and head out after recovery. She was SOOOO alert that when I got her in the car she wanted a Sonic drink! Crack me up~ so off we went! Got her home and settled into her two machines.....they were amazing and she quickly fell asleep. BUT she didn't drift off before she looked up at me and said wake me up at 11:30 so we can watch the ball drop.
Needless to say we brought in the last minutes of 2008 into the first minutes of 2009 laying in bed. I'm quite sure this is a New Year's NEITHER of us will EVER forget!
