"OUR" mini-vacation :)

WE will be taking a mini vacation on the third, Lord willing, and I can't wait! WE will be going to Louisiana, so don't forget to be praying for us. WE'RE leaving Thursday after my husband gets out of work, and coming back on Monday. WE will take lots of pictures, so you all can see what WE'LL be doing!

My rainy day

Talk about one thing after another. Today I was in a little fender bender. It was a day of running around, both boys had doctor appts, so I had just dropped David off at my mom's so that I could be in the room with Mike while he had his MRI done. It was a rainy day, and I had just past the casa de amistda when this guy made an illegal u-turn in front of me. I guess he didn't see me. Since it was raining, it didn't matter how hard I pushed on the brakes, my car didn't stop, so I hit him on the driver side door, of his brand new silver Mustang. I called the police right away, and I would like you all to know that it still took them 10 minutes to get there..... anyway, I was so surprised, cuz I actually wasn't scared. Mike was very shaken up, I felt so bad cuz he was crying. But I just thank the Lord, cuz my car doesn't really have any damage to it, well my husband says it could be hidden damage, but on the outside it looks ok. All I can say is that it could of been worse, and it wasn't so I thank the Lord for that. Oh and I was told that if I blogged this I would have to put up pics, but there isn't any to put up :) but yes Sal it did really happen. I'll show you the police report to prove it! lol

Keep praying for me

It's so easy to say "don't worry", but that's easier said than done. I couldn't sleep very well last night, due to things running around in my head. I couldn't make myself stop thinking about everything. I usually snuggle up next to my honey and feel so protected and secure, but last night was just so different. I felt frustrated, helpless, drained, overwhelmed. Even now I feel this way, and I hate it. I am so used to having things under control, and I can't find anyway to do that with everything that is going on. I thank God that I have Him to lean on, as well as my husband, and I guess that I just have to learn to do that, but again, that's easier said than done.

Pray for me

So much has gone on these past few months. These things make me stop to think about how we could all be gone tomorrow, but also how blessed I am. How so many people go through many different situations, some so small, yet we tend to overreact, or maybe not even react the way that we should. Why can't some people stop to think about what they do before it affects everyone else? They think that they're only hurting themselves, but they forget about the rest of us that care so much for them. In every way, we all affect someone, somehow. There is so much going through my head right now, there is so much to say, but I can't even find the words. All I can do is cry and pray. Just remember guys, the things that we do and say, can affect you and others for the rest of our lives.

THANK YOU

WOW!! Where do I begin. There has been so much going on lately and there was no time to blog about it. First the remodeling of my house had begun and I was so excited that we were almost finished. My dad came into town and said that he would finish up what we had left to do. So we started last Friday, but it all came to a stand still on Sunday. We had gotten up like we do every Sunday morning for church, kicking and screaming! Just kidding anyway, when we got to church my mom and Ms. Pat had noticed that David looked swollen, well when I looked at him, I pulled his collar down a bit and his neck was big. I got scared and showed my husband and he said lets go! We were going to take him to his regular dr, but they weren't open yet so we decided to take him to the ER. We were sitting in the room waiting for the results or prescription or something, you know how that goes, and then we were making plans of taking the boys to eat at Peter Piper, when we got the news...... David would have to be admitted. We were shocked! I didn't think that it was anything serious when we first took him in, but then they started saying that they had to admit him because his airway could get blocked due to the swelling on his neck. So as most of you all know, he was in there for four days, the longest four days of my life. Not because I stayed there, but it just seemed like it would never end. I couldn't stand to see my baby hooked up to the IV, or to see him cry when they would have to poke him again or give him medicine and it would burn through his arm, it was horrible. But I thank God that HE helped me through this, cuz I didn't lose it, (only till I got home!), but I also thank God that all you guys would go and visit and call, that helped so much. I had been saying that since I was there, there was no where for me to hide, you know since I'm not big on having company, but it really did help so much. I realized how much people can make such a big difference in times like these. So thanks guys, I really did appreciate it. David did too, especially the gifts! You all mean a lot to me, thank you for taking time out of your days just to go and show your support to our family. You all were so good to us, thank you.... and now David is out, he still has Dr's appointments to go to, and they say that he will have to have surgery to remove the cyst that he has so that it won't get inflamed anymore. So please keep praying for David! And as for my house, its almost done! Again, thank you all!

My birthday

Yesterday was my birthday and all I can say is "man I'm getting old!" Nah, not really. Birthdays don't bother me like they do other people. To me it's just another day, with little added bonuses of course. I'm not all about the present getting either. I know my husband hates that, in my case, its really the thought that counts. I don't know why I'm like that, but as I always say "you know what I can do with that money!" lol My love always wants to go all out for me, as you saw on the really embarrassing Christmas blog, and I don't ever let him. (sorry baby) but I'd rather do things together and spend the money on all of us, then on myself. But anyway I had a really great day yesterday, I got to spend it with my family, Lucy made me this awesome cake, which is all gone by the way, and EVERYONE I know called me or emailed me or BLOGGED about it. So thanks guys, I love you all, especially you baby!

Day at the Zoo

I went to the zoo with David the other day, and boy was it hot. I did have some fun walking around with him and answering all his questions. I really don't care much for the animals, and for those of you who don't know, I got a nose that can smell anything! So animals and my nose are not a good combination, cuz it stank! So here are some pics of David at the zoo, he was really excited about seeing the lion.
