Abe hits his quota

The big news of the day was that Abe hit his quota! It was a total miracle. As of 4:30pm this afternoon, he still did not know if he would hit or not. We feel very grateful for how everything turned out, and I feel sure God’s hand was all over this day and this quarter. Abe billed over sixty percent of his quota today, the last day of the quarter. I have spent the last three months praying God would bless Abe with “water from the rock,” and today that prayer was answered in a rather dramatic way.

For me personally, this day was full of emotional downturns (except for Abe’s news), but I’m feeling a little more upbeat now. I felt bad to cry during dinner, especially when Abe was on such a high, but he was so understanding and helped me feel much better.

We went to the library in the morning and ballet in the afternoon. I have had one recent “stress” nightmare about not having the girls’ Halloween costumes in time (hard life, I know), so I shopped during ballet. After all that, I think I will probably end up buying Lydia’s costume online. But I did find a really cute gnome costume for Mary that goes on clearance tomorrow, so I think I’ll take Mary to get it during Lydia’s preschool tomorrow.

Today was the first time Mary qualified to go to the big kid story time...but we were late. So instead, Lydia went to the little kid story time with Mary. The letter of the day was "d," and the puppet show was about dinosaurs, so I think it turned out just fine.
