Now that I'm feeling better let the Holidays begin!

WOW where did the holidays go? The last thing I remember was Halloween and then I woke up and its the end of January. I don't remember Thanksgiving and was too tired to remember Christmas and New years was a blurr....... The weeks are flying by so fast. Soon I'll be celebrating the seventh year of my transplant and my 48th Birthday. Wow never thought I 'd see the day. But must tell you all how special it is to be here to enjoy it all. Life is good!



Our family is busy as ever with ball games the girls have to cheer for and dance performances to go to. Needless to say I am staying home during most of it. Have attended one ball game to watch Jenna and will go next week to see Jordan cheer at one of her home games. Jayme has a mini cheer camp performance this week so will go to watch her. They hardly have enough time to eat let alone sleep. They are doing so well. I'm proud of them and how well they can keep up with their studies and all of these activities....oh Jayme will be starting Piano (I think I heard that somewhere) sometime soon.



Jason is doing awesome and loves his mission. Honduras can't be all bad if it looks like this WOW nice sunset Jason provided to us in his last email. Its hard to believe that he has under eight months to go before he comes home. Its our understanding that another convert was baptized over the weekend I guess Jason's companion has moved and he now has another one. He seems to think he'll be transferred next from his area. I think he may have one to two moves left before coming home.

Tammi starts a new job with Juvenile court today so she is nervous and still in the same building but with different people and office. We'll keep you up to date on her progress. As for me and miss maggie we kind of keep each other company through out the day. She lets me know when someone comes to the door and another animal has broken the security perimeter.... always on high alert she keeps things hopping around here.

Its hard to believe that January is almost gone and will soon be Feb. Time never stands still. We miss you all and I appreciate all your phone calls. Stay warm and away from the flu bug.

Is it 2008 yet? I've had enough of 2007!

Just a quick update.....WOW where did 2007 go? I can't say that I enjoyed the last three months of 2007 very much but hey, I made it home for Christmas and got a chance to enjoy a little bit of the Holiday season. Thanks giving was a bust for me can't remember a thing and well lets jsut say "I'm so grateful to be home" .

With 2008 only hours away now I thought I would do a blog and make sure eveyone knows how HAPPY we are tha tJessica na d Bryan are going to have a BABY! July 16th is her due date. We are now anxiously engaged in open discussions regarding BOY or GIRL and already planning around Fireworks season. Jessica had to make things interesting to have a BABY right during fireworks.....WE don't care just as long as she has a good healthy one. We'll even send up a blast to celebrate the arrival.

Jenna will be graduating this new year and will be moving out to go to school, She claims she can't wait....we'll see about that once she's gone! And our lastest on Jason well I've included a picture for all to see.. he is going to need to get married soon after he gets home, someone needs to take care of this guy. Look at his shirt I don't think he knows how to do laundry very well. WOW it looks pretty hammered.

Everyone is doing great and looking forward to the new year. We have been so blessed, more so than our family deserves. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends to encourage and to offer support. Thank you all for your prayers and fasting on my behalf...as you can see it really works. And the Lord does answer our prayers.

God bless you all

The Excitment of The Holidays is Here!!!! 11-5-07

I think I had one of the best Fall seasons I can remember, at least for me it was one that I absorbed everything in and really appreciated the color that was available...nothing like in Maine but hey not bad either.

Can you feel it happening? I can its the month where something happens in your heart where you begin to feel gratitude for everything you have. Your reminded of the things that matter most to us. I love Thanksgiving I just wish I could eat more of it. This year I'm determined to eat a little cheese onion pie, and fruit salad. Perhaps a few bites of a cream pie too. This year has gone so fast for our family. With Jason on a mission, we seem to be writing all the time. The weeks just fly by here. And now the holidays are approaching and things have got to slow down so we can enjoy a quite night to decorate a tree. Which won't happen until after Thanskgiving.

I don't know about you, but I intend to enjoy these Holidays to their fullest. You know really get into the spirit of it all. They could be yor last you just never know. So from our house to yours we hope that you all have a great holiday season. Tell those you love just how much you love them and smile it'll all be over faster than you think.
