More than a little BUGGY - Part 1

I was going to write this story as 1 post but determined it might be a long story so the following is PART 1.

So there is nothing like a 32 hour trip to Jakarta, Indonesia to revive you after a CRAZY week. No really. Justin and I found travelling in business class to the other side of the world is quite relaxing and we needed a good rest to recover after the busyness of last week. So what did we need to recover from? Well...

After the triplets 3rd birthday party and my 30th birthday, I began preparations for a big birthday blow out for Jack. To pull off this party, I had called in the services of Granny (who agreed to stay in Houston between June 30th and July 9th), Candace, Debbie and my mom. The last 3 would be available to help starting July 6th. And as the week went on, I was glad I had them lined up as the guest list kept growing and now we were looking at around 90 people attending the party at OUR house!!

(I should also note at this point that Justin and I were also trying to prepare for our 10 day trip overseas while all this was happening.)

The first unexpected event occurred on Sunday morning when we received a call that Papaw was on his way to the hospital. He ended up staying there until Thursday. Praise God that all the test came back showing that there were no serious problems.

The calvary (Candace, Debbie, Mom and Bill) arrived on Thursday to help me get ready for the party. And when they arrived I was already a couple days behind on my list of things to do.

Mom and Bill took the triplets and Carter to the hotel near our house. And Debbie and Candace got their marching orders on what to do around the house. With Papaw home from the hospital, Granny was able to pitch in completing a few projects of her own.

Thursday night Candace and I stayed up late working on party favors while sitting on the office floor. I should have known when I bumped my head three times on the table when I was standing up (UNBELIEVEABLE) that it was going to be a LONG next few days.
