Too Gross For Pictures

I've been wondering how to tell you about my upcoming surgery (hysterectomy). But, I guess I just did it.

I've also wondered how to tell you that I haven't felt very good for a long time. I guess I just did that, too.

I don't have to wonder how to tell you that after several weeks recovery, I will be just fine! No more pain. No more dizziness. No more nausea. No more tiredness. I'll be back to being the Me-I-Used-To-Be. I will be running, cooking, cleaning, driving, shopping, working, studying, traveling, creating and playing again - Just you wait and see!

In the meantime, I was wondering if you could remember me, and those who are very close to me, in your Prayers every once in a while?! Please?! Some of my loved ones are worried/scared. I just want them to be peaceful. They don't know that I will be just fine.

Thanks! :)

Much Love To You From Me!

The Flu Has Arrived!

We are usually pretty healthy, but 4 out of 6 of us are down and out!

I don't like that.

Have You Ever Seen...

...a Blue Chichuahua?

I'd never seen, or even heard of one, before. This was Anthony's (my nephew in the background) Christmas gift from his Uncle Brad. However, Katie & Reed 'adopted' it for the day!

For All You Twitch Fans

Meet my niece Makaela!



She is the silliest girl you will ever meet. She is so much fun we love to have her around. Her Birthday is the same day as Lauren & Ashley's. She only just turned six, but can make cookie dough and drop it onto cookie sheets by herself! For Reals!



She knows how to do this because her Dad, Blair (Barts brother), makes dessert with her every Sunday after church for Family Home Evening. Such a great idea for a little girl to have some Daddy time!

Please...

...don't be jealous of my New Year's Eve Date!



Bart missed Midnight. I was looking for someone else to Kiss, but couldn't decide on my options!

Just kidding.

Really, I AM just kidding.

Wow!

Today I am a Big, Fat, GRUMP.


M.U.S.T. S.L.E.E.P.


My favorite way of experiencing 4 a.m. is AFTER a Good Night's Rest; not BEFORE!!! :)


Gotta Love Those Energetic, Hungry, Night-Lovin' Teenagers!
