Oh wow......  That is a loaded question!  We are staying at home for the 4th, but then either Saturday or Sunday we are going to Fort Worth.  My father inlaw had a ruptured brain aneurysm Sunday night had had emergency brain surgery.  He was in surgery for 2 1/2 hours.  My husband left here and drove 400 miles to be there.  He then saw his dad and came home.  We are going to help them out with their bills because they are way behind.  Luckily we are in the position that we can help so we are going to.  But he had some jobs to do here with our pest control business that he had to finish up.  Then yesterday morning my FIL had what they call a TIA with is a small stroke that leads up to a major stroke after brain surgery.  Luckily they knew what had happened and were able to stop the larger stroke from happening.  They moved him out of ICU this morning!  This is amazing news for us!

Okay so we are leaving out Saturday or Sunday to go to Fort Worth.  My husband is going to do some jobs for them with their pest control business too so that he can help them out.  We are going to pay a few of their bills while we are out there too.  He is going to be staying with my inlaws and me and the girls are going to stay at my dad's.  Then after he is finished up there we are going to go another 125 miles to see my grandmother for a few days.  Then after that we are going to leave and drivethe 525 miles back home!  Lots of driving, lots of emotion, and lots of rollercoaster stuff happening, but it is what needs to happen!

Please be praying for my FIL. We have not gotten along much but still, I love him and he is my husband's father.  My husband is amazing that he his stepping up to the plate and insisting that we help them out financially right now.  We know that that is what the son is supposed to do but unfortunately not a lot of sons would do that for their parents, particularly when we haven't gotten along much.  We haven't spoken to my FIL in 2 years until this happened.  God is talking to us I know it!  I'm just thankful that God has provided so much for us that we can help them out in this time of need so they don't have to worry about money!
