Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

It's hard to believe, but tomorrow will be one week since Mr. Cob's unfortunate soccer injury. It's been a long, emotional week, but it has also been an eye-opening week. I've truly seen the generosity and love of our friends and family. So I'd like to take this time to give a shout out to you all!

First I have to thank my dear mother-in-law. I called her and asked for her help, and she got on a plane and flew down here the very next day. I'm not sure we'd have gotten along as well as we have had she not come down. I definitely wouldn't have felt comfortable going back to work and leaving Mr. Cob at home if she weren't here. So thank you - I feel blessed to have you in my life! (And I know Mr. Cob wanted you here, even if he didn't ask. I know from experience that sometimes you just need and want your mama! A wife DOES NOT replace a mother - he now just needs us both!)

And thank you to my own mama. She sat with me at the hospital for 2 days and did her best to keep my mind off the surgery as it was going on. She helped me clean the house from top to bottom and just held my hand when I needed her. If you ever need someone to wait with you at the hospital, Sip is the first person you should call - she has much experience and is an amazing caretaker. I've learned from the best and only hope to be as caring and loving as she is.

Bret & Tedra - thank you for the flowers at the hospital...they certainly helped brighten up a dim room! And Bailey would like to thank you for her new litter box - she loves it! And our bellies thank you for the BBQ - we managed to get at least 3 or 4 meals out of it! Oh, and the squirrel thanks you too :)

Gene and Lauren - thanks for cooking us dinner and spending time with us. And especially thanks to Gene for "babysitting" Mr. Cob and Lauren for being my date to the wedding - it was so kind of you to relieve me for a few hours! And Mr. Cob needed someone else's company by Saturday night!

Kristin and Scott - thanks for the soup - SO DELICIOUS! (I'm going to need that recipe soon). Also the Arrested Development DVDs have kept us laughing, and as they say, laughter is the best medicine! I'm just sorry I wasn't here to thank y'all in person!

Mr. Cob's work family - when we returned from the hospital a bag full of gourmet food was waiting at our doorstep...what a wonderful gift. I highly recommend checking out: www.insteadofflowers.com - delicious, and so nice not to have to think about what to eat after a long couple of days.

And all the friends who have called and emailed. Your support, prayers and love has definitely shown through and helped us this past week. We love you all! We're truly blessed with the most incredible friends and family!
