Weekend...and Home Alone with Molly
Hi friends! Did you all have a fantastic weekend? I most certainly did! I'm going to back this up alll the way to last week though, because I didn't tell you much of anything that happened last week, for good reason - I was home alone, and I was not ABOUT to tip off any kidnappers (I'm kid-sized, I could get kidnapped) because I don't have the skillz of the Home Alone kid when it comes to warding off home invaders - instead I would have hide in my closet with Molly and cry on the phone (battery at 5%, of course) with my daddy while waiting for Granddad to show up and save the day (yes guys, that happened). Thankfully it was just some of our neighbors, but it was enough that Miss Molly and I didn't' sleep much for two nights and ended up spending Thursday night safely at my grandparents. However, the entire time my parents & brothers were at camp, I had an automatic trash can (it rolled itself to the road on trash day!), an automatic gate opener (locked every night and open before I left for work!), and an automatic cattle feeder. Oh wait, that was all Granddad - I was very well taken care of :)
Anyway, Monday night, Matt came over for dinner and it was "semi-homemade with Shae" - meaning I stopped by the grocery store and threw together something resembling a meal. I took one of their rotisserie chickens, shredded it, poured in Head Country BBQ sauce, microwaved to warm, and served on King's Hawaiian rolls, slider style. Delish! I also picked up some red potato salad and chips, just in case the chicken didn't turn out right. Of course, I made rice krispy treats to go along with dinner since they're the one thing I know I do correctly every single time.
Tuesday night was spent huddling in my closet with Molly. Oh, and she was having some MAJOR breathing issues last week so HAD anyone broken into our house they would have found us in 2.2 seconds since the locked closet door + Benadryl did nothing to mask her loud breathing.
On Wednesday, I went shopping to reward myself for surviving Tuesday night. I'd been wanting a pair of colored shorts to brighten up my life and Old Navy had the perfect pair. So perfect, in fact, that my Caylee and I both ended up wearing them on Saturday (hundreds of miles apart). #LikeBigLikeLittle #Perfect #Besties (Yes, that deserved 3 tags. #Duh). They're perfect and comfortable and I LOVE the color so much. I'm definitely going to be buying them in every color the first chance I get.
Molly and I had a slumber party at my grandparents on Thursday night, and Friday night, I went to Falls Creek! Mom & Dad had been cooking all week and the boys were campers. Kaden was leaving Saturday for a mission trip, so he wanted to sleep in his own bed for a night - Super Sis to the rescue! We drove home Friday night and I dropped him off with mom to go back to Falls Creek for training Saturday.
After dropping Kaden off on Saturday, I tanned (it's Jessica's wedding week!) & headed home. Matt came over and we watched movies with Dad & Kale (while mom slept) then picked up steak from Ken's. Matt took me out on a super fun date - putt-putt and the drive in! The drive in that's in Chickasha has a putt-putt course in front of the screen, so we played a game before the movies started. He beat me, but I let him win fair and square :( We saw Monsters University - LOVED IT - and stuck around for about half of Now You See Me - it was too late for us old folks.
Sunday after church, it was time for lunch with mom, dad & Kale, hours of swimming with Kale & Kiera, then the Falls Creek service at church.

I ended the night snuggling with Molly and praying for my brother & his team to have a GREAT week on their mission trip! Please join me in praying for him, his team, their leaders and the people they'll be working with over the next week. If you'd like to follow along, FBC Tuttle will be posting daily updates of specific things to pray for on Facebook while Kaden's away.

The Metro
Surely you've all heard of the Metro. Oh, you're thinking of OKC? No, no. I mean the other metro - the Minco Metro. Though I've been there many times over the years - stock shows, #TwinTime, athletic events - I've never had The Official Minco Tour, and because of the conversations had that evening, Minco will now forever be known as the Metro to me.
Friday night, Lori Jo and I had Grady's for dinner and were watching a Redbox movie when her craving hit (#PreggoProbs). For those of you who don't know, Lori has wanted one thing forher entire pregnancy the last three months - snow cones. So, off we went to get her one.
There were fires all around the state on Friday*, so we went to Moon Tower to look at the smoke making its way across the sky. Mind you, I'd never heard of Moon Tower, so when she told me to drive to it, I had no idea where to go. It was at that instant that she decided to give me a tour of the Minco Metropolitan area.
When we go snow skiing, my family plays this game called "windmill." It's basically slug bug, minus punching and with windmills instead of cars. I don't know why, but our family just loves this game. So, imagine my excitement when we don't just drive by the Minco Metro Wind Farm (I'm not sure of the official name, so here's my vote), but we go smack dab to the middle of it! I could have won the game for sure. We also happened to be there as the sun was setting, which meant it was absolutely beautiful.
On our tour, I learned where Lori's cousin lives...and her other cousin...and her other cousin...and her other cousin...and her other cousin...and so on. I'm pretty sure she is related to literally everyone in Minco. I also learned the grocery store burned down two years ago (I had NO idea and thought for sure it was still standing.) and that Minco has two gas stations.
So, Minconians (is that what you're all called?), what is the one thing in town I need to see? And if you don't live in Minco, when are you giving me a tour of your hometown? You have high standards to meet!
*Speaking of the fires - pray for rain on the dry land, for the firemen battling the flames, and for the families living in the areas near the fires!

Aunt Pam
When I think of my Aunt Pam, I don't just think of my grandma's sister-in-law. No, our family doesn't work like that. Our family is close, and we are in each other's lives and business no matter if we like it or not. So, when I think of my beautiful Aunt Pam, I think of one of the strongest ladies I know. No matter what has come, she has faced the day head on. Bad circumstances have never gotten to her positive attitude for longer than a split second. She has incredibly strong faith. Aunt Pam's laugh, smile and jokes are always quick to come. She is a teacher and counselor by profession, a caregiver and good friend by nature. She is the best decorator I know - if the TV networks pick up on her I'm quite certain Martha Stewart will be sent packing.
Today I ask you to pray for my Aunt Pam. Today she will have surgery to remove one of three brain bleeds. Thankfully, she is at the exact place our family has learned she needs to be - in Phoenix, under the care of the best doctors.
Please join me in praying for my aunt today. Also remember her doctors and the team of medical professionals who will be performing surgery and providing care for her after, along with her family and others who made the trip to Phoenix to be with her.
I have full confidence that God will not give her any more than He can handle. He has already shown his faithfulness and power.
Aunt Pam, I would say don't give the doctors too much trouble, but I think we all know that'd be like spitting in the wind. I love you!

In Oklahoma...
Some things just aren't supposed to happen.
Bombings. Shootings. Heartbreaks.
Thankfully, we live in a state where the great outshines the bad and we know firsthand that we can overcome any challenge. More than that, I'm thankful to serve a God who is bigger than the storm.
The shooting in Bricktown after the Thunder game last night was too close for comfort. I'm thankful God kept Chase, Caden and me safe, and I'm praying for those who were injured. Such a terrifying event to happen on such an exciting night.
"For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, fear not, I will help you." Is. 41:13

Pray.
Mac's dad, Terry Gordon, was recently diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. For those of you who don't know, Mac is my cousin Magan's boyfriend. Pray with me in the coming days, weeks and months for Terry and his family. Remember the doctors who will be treating him as well.
-Shae Suzanne
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4:6-7
