WELCOME to my blog!!

It has been approximately 2 years since I regularly updated, but recently I began missing my blogging. I have gone against "the rules of blogging" by simply naming my blog "Bridget's Ramblings". It goes against the rules because you are supposed to choose one topic that you are passionate about and write about it. Well, it just so happens that I become passionate about anything that piques my interest at any given point in time. My husband once told me my hobby is finding new hobbies.....I can't deny it!! However, I will say that my kids--currently ages 11, 8, 6, and 4--will always be a major topic you can expect to read about. Beyond the kids, my current secondary interests include running and biking....gardening will most likely be the next topic to grab my attention. But, the one thing you can count on is that I will undoubtedly ramble on about whatever I find interesting.

A friend in need of prayers

My friend Jessica's parents were in a motorcycle accident last night-- so for anyone that prays, please add them to your prayer list. Their names are Sharon and Dan. You can click here to view Jessica's blog. In addition to being very worried about her mom and dad Jessica and Garr are having to visit them at two different hospitals that are 40 min away from each other. Mr. and Mrs. Orshaw have always been so kind to me and my kids and they are just wonderful people. It breaks my heart that they are in so much pain and suffering right now.

Jessica said her dad has a broken shoulder that will likely need surgery soon. His eye is messed up and swollen so they don't know the extent of damage to the eye right now. The Dr's are concerned about some possible spinal damage, but they aren't really sure about that part yet. He also got scraped up pretty badly. It sounds like he's in a great deal of pain. Mrs. Orshaw has a laceration of the liver, but the Dr's think it's superficial and are monitoring the situation right now.

Also, please keep Jessica's children in your prayers. They are very close to their grandparents and I know they are going to be so worried. Fortunately, the two older ones (close to Kaeli and Paige's age) are at camp this week and are staying busy. But Jessica and Garr also have a 5 yr old and 7 mo old. The 5 yr old is staying with another friend today and tomorrow and I may watch her on Thursday and Friday. The baby is breastfed so he needs to stay near mom.

I guess I just want to ask that everyone who reads this keeps this family in your thoughts and prayers. They have so much on their hearts and minds right now and I can't even begin to imagine the stress on this whole family at this moment.
