Well... Well.. Well!!

I thought that I would update a little something before I let a whole year pass before I blogged again :)

I can't really say that I have really been all that busy that I could not post. Just working and the occassional Branson trips. I have just gotten out of the habit and it has somewhat slipped my mind about blogging.

Speaking of Branson, I think we got some other people in on enjoying some of the things that the great ozarks have to offer. But it is one of those places you either like it or you don't. I happen to love it!

Branson




Well the weather is changing and I am ready to head back to Branson. Last year in November was the first time that we actually took Audrey on the gokarts and she loved it.. Of course she only wanted to ride with whoever was winning, which was usually Granddad!! The picture was of one of the few times she actually rode with me. I couldn't stay caught up with them enough and safely drive while she was riding with Granddad! But she asked if this was the way that we were going to teach her to drive.... HAHA!!

Another year has passed!!....

OH MY GOODNESS... I can't believe I have let a year pass me by without blogging. Even if I don't update, I do read the rest of yours occassionally. Although I have not been on the blogspot much with all of the things that have occured throughout the last year.
I praise the Lord that He put some of the memories out of the minds of those in pain while they were in the hospital, although the rest of us we will remember for some time. Another point of memories that God can take care of; for the longest time all I could remember of papa were the last few months and how rough things were for not only him but for what gma was having to go through. I was worried that I would not ever be able to remember the good times because of those that I could not get out of my head. At the time, pictures were not even helping. It has been almost 7 months and I the old times are coming back. Thank you Lord for some answered prayers.
Christmas was very difficult, but MY SANTA was there in spirit and in the love of his family.
He was just such a jokester, even to this day he is making us laugh. The other day Audrey was trying to get some M&Ms out of one of his despensers, some of those heart candies that have the little messages came out of it. He must have put them in there last year. I do miss him a great deal, but would not wish him back to this ole world. I will see him again. He is telling gma Audrey about her namesake that is here :)

You know, the saying of "you never realize how much something means to you until it is gone" is so true. Hold on to the ones you love for just an extra minute and tell 'em you love them.

HUGS to you all. I LOVE YOU!!

visiting...

Sorry still no pics...

Well it has been awhile again, but rest assured I have been keeping up with you guys :) So I visited a church Sunday (thanks Katie for saving a seat), and a gentleman's song was really touching to me. I had actually been reading a book that I got for 50% off from Ruth's "Lord, Help me I've fallen and can't get up". very good book by the way. It talks of letting God be in charge rather than you trying to... And I must admit, I have been trying to run things. I want that perfect job with the perfect hours and the great pay (is there even such a thing). I had to take a step back and look at where I am, I was getting to where I would get physically ill at times knowing that I had to go to work. But God has me here for a reason, not sure what it is yet :) but I know that it is all Him, and when the time is right I will have a different job opportunity. Things are better for me, I see that I have to also put forth some effort in making it a happy place for me as well.

And by the way, I also have left it to God for that perfect man for me (yes Jodie Lynn, one that cooks, cleans, and does all those things would be nice!!! better than nice). Maybe after Audrey is grown, he has to be able to treat and love her like his own otherwise, and I know that can be hard to do. So only God knows.

By the way Jodie Lynn could you change your font, its pretty but very hard to read and for some reason i can't post on your stuff... Thanks!

Life

It has been awhile... Life seems to be so crazy busy and flying by! Where has the year gone??

So many things have been going on in the last several months that makes you appreciate those you love and the way that they are there for you when you need them. I went to Jodie Lynn's church last Sunday and the sermon really touched me. The title was something of "Holding Hands". What kind of friend are you? Do you help out or hinder someone when they are in need?

Dad's CHRISTmas day incident resulted in his need for help in feeding for a few days. His doctor visit revealed that he should use it "lightly" but should heal on its own. So praise the Lord there!!

Life is so precious, hug your loved ones and tell them that you love them often. I love you all!!! (All three of you who read this!!)

Thank you for being there for me when I need you Jodie Lynn (and Chris).

Day dreaming as well...

I made a lengthy comment on Jodie Lynn's post several times but when I went to post it somehow it went crazy and I was only able to get the shorter one in, kinda why it is more in a text message fashion:). So I will attempt it this way... I too have thought of moving however the wonderful family God has blessed me with are very influential as well as inspiring and very helpful. I'm too nosey I would want to know what's going on, not just what they want me to hear, HaHa!!... I am very thankful for my family and appreciate all they do for me and Audrey..  If I do not tell you enough; Thank you!!!

Like Jodie Lynn says, it's mostly just day dreaming... Mostly about the things I would do if I did not have a child. I think I would like to do some travel nursing... See the different cultures of nursing as well as patients.

I am very blessed with the wonderful "little Audrey" that God has given me.. So my dreams of travel nursing will have to wait awhile :)

Wow! Where has the time gone??

So I was reminded the other day of what a slacker I have been with updating this page. I apologize! Life has been crazy busy the last several months... Finished school the end of September now just waiting til the second weekend of December so I can offically sign Angie RN, BSN haha!! Since my only two followers are Katie and Aunt LaNell, oh wait and I can't forget Jodie Lynn has now joined.. All of you are so much better at blogging than I. I'm not really sure what to blog about... But I guess if nothing else can just post pics!! :) but that too will have to wait for now...
