Sandy Came to Nana's!!!

-

When the details of our trip were finalized, it seemed like I'd be there for so long that I'd want to travel all over to see my friends that were within five ours. Turns out after three days of driving and then the back and forth to Kansas City and Great Bend burned me out on the whole travel thing. It was a huge relief that I made plans with my best girl Sandy to come and visit while we were at my moms. I love her. She's the kind of friend that every woman needs and wishes they had.

She came early in the morning and stayed two nights with us, which was amazing. We had so much fun laughing and just hanging out. Her kids didn't come this time so that on our visit we could concentrate on catching up, which was just what the doctor ordered for both of us. On thing we did do was play American Idol on the Wii. The kids were totally into it and begged to play over and over again. My little rock star was the only one I captured because I'm kind of a flake that way. This just cracks me up every time he gets a microphone!

I have to say that my favorite moments with American Idol came when it was just Sandy, me, and Sarah. And Brooke via Facebook. And Jonjenek and Teresa via text. We laughed so much that night that I had flashbacks to my benedryl episode when I was in the hospital having Leila.

Thanks for coming, Friend. I'm pretty sure you can't know how much it meant to me.

I woke up this morning Fully realizing that He is gone. There is nothing I can Think Or say Or pray That will undo that. Now we have to Navigate through another day Without him. Like learning how to walk On new legs. Pray for my strength To come only from the Him. Mine is faulty. May the comfort of our Lord Come to those around me Through these two arms And these two ears And this trickle of tears. Lvb

  This dog is a fierce opponent of mine. For over a year I have avoided the last leg of my two-mile walk because of his ferocious bark. I have a fear of dogs from childhood that is pretty irrational, but I am able to reason myself out of running scared, sometimes. Instead of walking to the end of his block, I would just retrace the distance over an area that was dog-free. It felt silly, but it kept me safe. Then one day there were two walkers ahead of me that managed to get to the end of the block with no sign of attack. I could hear the dog barking, but he didn’t approach, so I assumed there was an electric fence. Oh the joy I felt at this discovery! I began to shed my fear and walk freely to the end of the trail.  I was so happy about my newfound freedom that I decided to write about it. So one day, I stopped on the sidewalk in front of the dog’s house to take a photo of him. Before I knew it he was charging at me, barking viciously. He got closer and closer and I walked quickly down

Hi, have you met Dale? Than you know why this picture shocks me everytime I look at, it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. So I'm praying that I'll have at LEAST one writing project done by next spring. With the new home schooling goals, I don't know how practical that is, but without a forty hour commitment to working every week, starting in October, I'll have a little free tiME! WE GOT THE JOB!!! Dale interviewed today. We should have a reporting date in October. Thank you all, with all sincerity, for your prayers for us and the timing on this crazy thing. It has been worth the wait- for this. If we had not been forced to wait the past months, Dale would have gone into the interview totally unprepared, overweight and out of shape. But God... For years we have lived our lives like Mario- when he's invisible and the fast music is playing- invincible. (my first big word as a kid) When we first got married, Dale worked at Blockbuster as a manage
