Just another manic holiday!

Whew! I am sure that I am not the only mom out there who is thinking-

Wow-this Christmas sure went fast!
It seems that we all prepare and prepare for the perfect Christmas and it's over in minutes.
Then, we all promise ourselves that we will do it different next year. Make some better decisions so that the whole thing will last longer.
Well-at least I do this.
I just never seem to follow through.
So-I am warning you now. This is a very long post, full of a whole lot of pics.
I think that the best way to tell a story is with lots of pictures. Especially when celebrations are involved. So-grab a snack and get comfy, you might be here a while!!!
This is 6. Do you see that hole in her mouth. The one where her front tooth used to be? Well-we started out our December with one less tooth. She was thrilled! 8 informed her that if one loses a front tooth-the tooth fairy pays more. Whaa? I apparently missed that memo.
8 told her it was $5.00. She was a little disappointed when the fairy only left her $1.00. Guess that 8 is not as smart as she thinks she is. SHOCKER!!!

These pics were taken right before we had a major family event. I don't want to share the details of this particular day, but I do want to share the pictures. I also want everyone to know how lucky I am. I am a member of a family who is truly top notch. I know that we are all a little biased when it comes to our families-but I am really blessed.
I love being a mom. I am so blessed to be married to my best friend-forever!
I have some of the greatest, most supportive parents a girl could ask for.
My sister is my best friend and I am proud beyond proud to be the big sister of such wonderful brothers. I like to think that I had a little bit to do with how well they turned out! :)
I am also the favorite aunt and the favorite Sister in Law!! I hate that term-they are my sisters!
I love my family and consider them to be one of my favorite and greatest gifts! (don't we all)

Look at 8-she is turning into a beautiful young lady. She is not a little girl anymore and it's killing her Dad and I. She turns 9 in March. I can't believe it! She is as beautiful on the inside and she is on the outside. I am very blessed to be her mom.
(Sorry I am being all sappy-but a Mom has got to do this sometimes)
Am I the only Mom out there who thinks that her children look almost angelic in pictures. Too bad as soon as the camera is put away-the horns and tails come out! :)
Here is 4! Ok- I know that every family has a child like her. You know what I am talking about. They just crack you up. They say the most random things and their hugs are magic. That is 4's jobs at our house. She goes to preschool only 2 days a week. I love this time with her. She always is cracking me up over random things that she says. The other day-we were looking at some old family pictures. I was about 12 in these particular pictures. She took the picture and studied quite intently-then she said
"Mom-that girl has your face."
Yes-she is 4 and she came up with that.
She had her winter performance for school last week. She was the loudest little singer in the group. Not to mention very energetic with the actions! I have no idea where she gets this from. Not a clue. :0) She is one peppy little chicky and I love her-a lot! ( most of the time)

This is 6! She is my happy go lucky gal. She loves to be the little helper. She loves to cuddle and spend one on one time with both her Dad and I. She is the little mother to not only her sisters but also to her little cousins. My little nephew just adores her!! She is a joy in our family.

These are our Christmas Eve pics. We have "our" Santa come every year. He is not just any old ordinary Santa man. He is My Santa. Meaning, this particular Santa's helper has been coming to our Christmas eve parties since I was about 4! I love him! My kids adore him!

Here are my munchkins singing Santa Claus is coming to town. Can you tell which one was the most excited?Jingle bells-jingle bells, jingle all the way. What is up with 6's face. Cracks me up.


This is 8 pinkie promising that she will keep her room clean. I now have proof. Mwhahhhahaaa!


Grammy and the girls. See how much 4 is loving Santa. I think that she has a little crush on the big man. :)
Here is all of the grand kids with G&G! I don't know who loves who more. My parents or the kids. I guess that is one of those age old questions. Kind of like which came first, the chicken or the egg.
8 & 6 are part of a singing group. They love it. They go once a week and put on two shows a year, spring and Christmas. They did a program called "Christmas Vacation" and they both did great! 6 had a solo and some speaking parts. 8 had speaking parts. She doesn't love the whole center of attention like her sister does, so she did not do a solo.
4's favorite part of the whole night? COOKIES!!

We were very proud of our little singers!

Are you tired yet? I am sick of looking of the pics and they are of my kids! Almost done-promise! This must be done-I am only thinking of my posterity and how much they will love me when they have all of these memories! :)
Christmas Morning! The girls were up at 6. Not too bad. We had to sit around and wait for my mom to get here. Did I mention that I had to make my 3 children wait to open presents because my Mother felt the need to make her bed before she came. Yea-it was as fun as it sounds!!
6 & 8 got a super, fantastic present this year. I have done 4 little people's bedrooms for clients the past month. Every time my girls saw these rooms they both said that they wanted their rooms done as well. So, me being the fantastic mom that I am, got on the email with Santa and worked out a plan. 6's room was done in green. turquoise and browns. 8's room was done in pink and brown. Her room was a little more "mature" and 6's was really fun and glittery. I will post more pics of their rooms and my clients bedrooms in the next couple of days.
One last little bit of pictures. December is such a busy month anyway-my moms birthday happens to fall on the 27th. This year was a big deal. She turned the big 50! So-all us kids got together and threw her a surprise party. It was kind of a roast-only nice. We made her a movie and all the guests shared what they loved about her, memories and funny stories. She really had a great time and all of us kids were reminded of how lucky we are to have such a great woman to be our mom!
Doesn't she look great for 50? I want to look as good as she does!
This is 4. The words she said right before this picture was taken-Take a picture of me!!
All of the girls in our family. Look at my cute, very pregnant sister! I like to stand next to her-I look skinny! She is having a girl in 4 weeks and we are so excited!!!!


This is Hailey, Shawni and my bro. Brandon. We were dishing up the sweets for our guests!

Look at this cake! Is it not the cutest thing that you have ever seen? We had a friend do it. She got mom spot on. Zebra, polka dots and feathers! She could not have made a more perfect cake!
This is the whole family!
Happy 50th Mom! We love you!!!
Sorry the super long post! Thanks for sticking with me! (i really hope that you are still here) I will be posting new decor pics this week-the girls rooms and my un Christmas decorated house!!!
Have a great Monday!!!

One last thing....

I went to the Nerologist today. It was not what I was expecting. \
Unfortunately.
I wish that this was over.
More than words can express.
But when I stop to think about my life and all the trials that I am going through-I think
1- It could be worse
2- I could have no support
3. the Lord must have a lot of faith in me to send me this trial (s)

The dr. told me that my headache was a tension headache and I needed to exercise and it would go away.
Oh people-it was all I could do to not kick him in the teeth.
I sat there and asked him if he honestly thought that I was not/or had not tried everything that I could do to control this?
Everytime I asked this wonderful DR-he would look at me and not answer.
He would not look me in the eye, but he would my husband!!!
GRRRRR!
It was such a frustrating day!
I thought that I was going to get an answer-just got nothing instead.

So-I sat and felt sorry for myslef while I drank and eggnog shake. (so good BTW)
then I thought, what good am I doing?
Satan is winning, because I am letting him.
So-I read my comments from "strangers" who don't know me from adam-and felt the love through their words.
I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and try to find good things from this.
S0-here are my "GOOD THINGS"

I am blessed beyond measure
I am stronger than I know
I have faith in Heavenly Father that he will never leave me alone.
I have a husband who is better than gold-even better than the perfect pair of jeans! :)
I have a family who supports me-no matter what I throw at them.
I have 3 beautiful people who love me no matter what.
I have the joy that they bring when they yell MOMMY when I walk in the door.
I have the love of my friends, the concern of strangers, the prayers of others to get me through the days. Sometimes it's hours and sometimes it's minutes-and thats ok.
I am blessed.
I am loved.
I am special.
I can do this.
He sent me this trial because I can do this.

My new favorite quote:
That which brings you closer to God is a blessing.

This trial is a blessing.

No picture post.

I know that sometimes it is not really very fun to look at posts without pics. I just wanted to share some not so fun info.

First-some good news.
We got my FIL home-well at least to UTAH!! Yea!! He is not better and he is still in the ICU-but he is in one of the best hospitals in the state. They are already talking about weaning him of the vent. Small changes but good. We are so thrilled that he is here. It is truly a miracle that he was able to be transferred. The good news is going to be keep coming. I just know it.

Now-my new reality. I know that it could be worse. Just wish it wasnt' so.
I had another spinal tap done yesterday.
Yes-I still have my headaches. They only went away for about 48 hours. CRAPPY!
Found a new neuro-he ordered another test. This one was nothing like the first. My back doesn't hurt at all!!!!
My head on the other hand, is much worse.
We went to the ER this morning because the headache was different and we were afraid that it was a spinal headache.
No-it wasn't. They just all decided on what on I have for sure and what the next step is.
I have a Pseudo Neuro Cerebrai Tumor.
Basically-this works like a tumor-pressure on my brain and optic nerve, there just insn't a tumor.
They said that this was a possibilty before, but the first Neuro told me it wasn't.
Anyway-after many meds to try and treat this-No luck.
I go tomorrow to see my Neuro so we can decoide when to do the shunt.
Yes-I have to have brain surgery-sort of.
They tell me that they do shunts all the time.
It's a very safe procedure-it's not a big deal.
Well-it's a big deal to me!
I am freaking out.
they will have to drill a hole in my head.
That would freak anyone out-right?
So-that is what is happening here.
Really wish that you all were a littl more closer-Icould use some hugs and mm&m's.
Not to mention a couple of elves who love to wrap!
Haven't even started on that task yet!

Thanks for letting me vent. (if any of you are still reading) I know that it could be worse and there are many others who are dealing with a lot worse. I am just so grateful that I have great insurance, good Dr's who can help and a husband and family who support me in whatever crap I get them in to. Plus-they say that they love me no matter what!
(We'll see )
Have a great day!

Look what came in out mailbox!!!

Santa sent us letters!! Not just any one liner letters-special just for them letters!
The postmark was even from the NORTH POLE!
My girls were more than thrilled.

6 was thrilled!


8 was overjoyed as well!.(sorr the pic was a little blurry)

Look at 4-do you think that she was excited?



Cool-A north pole postmark! Authentic-REAL BABY!

This was picture was taken before they opened the letters. Can you tell how excited they are! Look-they are gritting their teeth-thinking
HURRY UP MOM-TAKE THE STUPID PICTURE!!




I am working on another client right now. We get to do two girls bedrooms! We shopped today and hit the jack pot!! It was a blast! It is always so much fun to decorate girls rooms!!
So-I am crafting a bit to make their rooms extra special.
These are some bulletin boards that I did tonight.
The girls are so excited-I had to give them a little somethin-somethin!!!

Happy December 5th! Is anyone else freaking out that Christmas is 20 days away?
Or is it just me? Maybe is't because I am not ready.
Please tell me I am not the only one!
I wanted to share a couple more pics of decor at the Hoyt's house.
This is my room divider that I made out of bi-fold closet doors from the thrift store!
They were so simple and a great peice for any room.
Pluse-you can decorate it up with a kinds of sparkly goodness!!! These are trees-2,3 and 4.
Yes, those are snowman plates that you are seeing.
When you have a fake tree-you can whatever on them.
Thats is why there is only pine scented scentsies and no pine scented trees at my house!
I couldn't decorate a real tree with all the crap that I use on a fake!


See these little carboard words.
This is mom genius that you are looking at right now.
No-I am not trying to be stuck up.
If I was going to do that-I wouldn't being sharing this fantastic idea.
It will make your life easier and your children smarter!

The girls were BORED last night. I didn't want them on TV or the Computer. So-I made something up. The little white words were a punchout in a workbook that 6 had.
The directions said to makeup sentences with the words.
Well, there were not enough words for both of them to play.
So-I grabbed the scissors and the empty cereal box that was on the counter-and got to cutting.
We made more of the regular words-and, the as, a, I etc..
Then we added some Christmas words. Sleigh, santa, elf, naughty.
Then we said go and the girls went to town.
They had contests who could make the longest sentance, who could use the most christmas words, who could make the shortest sentance the fastest.
They played happily for over 20 mins.
NO FIGHTING!
I had to share.
We are going to make this little game for friends for christmas.
I will make them cuter, and you know, more of the same shape.
8 wants me to use Cursive words. Because they can read them now.

So-I figure with a lipgloss that cost me 69 cents from Avon-and this little gem.
Friends gifts can get the old heave ho off the list.

What are you waiting for-go and make these.
Your kids will love you.
It will take you 3 minutes.
You could even add magnets and stick them on the fridge.
The possibilies are endless.
We are going to make the friend sets this weekend.
Me, the girls and my trusty CRICUT!
Let me know what you think, and if you are going to add the
"20 minutes of pure bliss" game to your house this holiday season!
have a Fantastic Weekend!!!


Sorry there are so many grammatical errors in this post.
I am just not in the mood to make sense!
Hope that you are understand and still love me!!

Fa La La La La

Christmas, Christmas Time is here!

I love it!
I love when I pull all the totes up the stairs and un-saran wrap the trees!
(I finally got smart and figured it out-much less work)
So, I thought that I would share a couple of pics of the work.
Not too much though, just a peek! I am going to participate in the house tour on the 15th-it's kind of boring to see the same pics twice!!
See this little man. Well, I guess he's not so little. I picked him up last year at the thrift store. I think he cost me $5! I just added a little TLC, made my talented mom repaint his face and Voila!
He's supposed to sit on the porch. He will make it his home tomorrow!!!
I found this adorable Santa sign just the other day at the thrift store. It only cost me $5! I have a thing for $5 junk! This was perfect and I loved it! I also have a Santa book-the one that it laying open with the clause pocket watch. I have had this book around since I was little. We used to just sit and look at the pics when we were kids. Now my kids do the same.
One day, in the middle of the summer, a couple of years ago-I came across it in the thrift store. SURPRISE!! This is one of the 6 trees that I have. I know, I am a little obsessive about it. My mom, she has more than me. Guess it's hereditary. I made the little snowmen under the tree. I also found the "Santa" head in the suitcase. He was even more scary than he is now. I again, found him at the thrift store! We just TLC'd him up. I had him on my door last year. Everyone thought that it was scary. (everyone being my 4 year old and husband)


This is our tree garland. I saw the idea on the crayola site. I thought that it was perfect. A little craft that everyone could participate in. Even Dad. We made this one for my MIL. She is still in Arizona with my FIL. He is still in the ICU and still struggling. We thought that we would send her a little Christmas Cheer. I know that she reads my blog-so when you see this-pretend that you are surprised!
I am loving every ones Christmas decor. Keep it up! Can't wait to steal more ideas!
PS-I am one of those crazy, freaky Black Friday shoppers. I will have to post about it later. It was a blast and I got some great deals. Not to mention-a heck of a nap. Nothing like waking up at 3 am to make a girl exhausted!

PS-go and check out the http://theinspiredroom.net. She has a great linky set up with all kinds of fun ideas!!

I am still here-barely:)

Just kidding!!
I just wanted you all to know that I am still here. If any of you still read this.

My father in law is still there. Still sick, but hopefully going to turn the corner soon!
We are praying that he can make it home for Christmas-or at least be stable enough for them to med air him home.
Oh how wonderful it would be, if he was HERE in a hospital.
We have learned a lot, and continue to do so.
I have always believed strongly in the power of prayer. Always.
I can't even describe how I feel about it now.
I don't know any other words to use.
I can just sum it up with-
I am truly blessed!!!

I got bit by the bug.
The christmas bug.
I couldn't handle it anymore.
So before my husband left for Arizona again-I made him drag all the totes up and the 6 large trees, 3 small treas and the larger that life toy soldier!
I was so excited!
So-I turned up the christmas tunes and got to work.
It was kind of hard to be in a christmasy spirit when it's sunny and nice outside.
I am ready for the snow!
I have a winter wonderland in my house, now I just need to be able to see one when I look outside!

I will post pics of all of my chritmas glory in a couple days when I get it ALL done.
I know, I know-it's pathetic when one has so much christmas decor it takes more than one day to put it out! :)

One more thing-I won something!!!
Yep!
I never win anything-I did last week!
It came when i truly needed a pick me up!
I was so thrilled, I knew I had to share it with you!

She is called the North Pole Secretary.
Santa finally got him a secretary and she is not even an elf. (at least I don't think)
She helps him with his letter writing.
She makes sure all letters are personalized with all kinds of great details about each little boy and girl.
She doesn't even forget the littlest details.
The post mark is North Pole as well.
She is one pretty amazing lady.

Go and look at her site and see what she can offer for you.
I was thrilled!!!
www.http.//NorthPoleSecretary.com

Have a great weekend!!!
I'm off to check etsy and see what I can check off my list!

Theres no place like HOME!!!

There is no other words that ring more true than those right now.

Kal and I flew in today and we did a little happy dance when we walked in the door.
It was hard and sad to leave his Dad and Mom, but we needed to come home.
We missed our girls, and I am happy to say that they missed us!

My FIL is still in the ICU. We have got a bit of good news, so we are holding on to that.
He is still on a ventilator and lots of dialysis, but the Dr's are pretty sure that he is going to make it. It's going to be a long recovery(about a month in the hospital in AZ) but we are hoping that he will be home in time for Christmas.
What a great Christmas it will be.

We want to say thank you so much for all your prayers and kind words.
I know that it was prayers offered on our behalf that helped us make it through some days.
We thought that we were going to lose him a couple of times.
It was then, that the angels surrounded us, and the peace was felt by all of us.
Thank you again. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many fantastic people.
The world is full of good, loving people. I am lucky to know some of them.

I just have to say, this whole experience has taught us a lot.
Kal and I came home different people.
My testimony of prayer and modern day miracles has been strengthened.
My love for my family has increased 10 fold.
I have realized that life is too short.

Life is too short to leave without telling your family you love them.
Life is too short to hold on to feeling of resentment and anger.
Life is too short to worry about things that don't really matter.
Life is too short to not spend your time making memories with those who truly matter.

I realized, that in all of my 10 years of being married, I don't think that I have ever told my FIL I loved him and gave him a hug.
Now, I am not an evil person.
They are just not touchy people.
I know that they love me, and I know that they know I love them.
But life is too short to not tell them.
So, the next time that I see them, I am going to hug them both and tell them how much they mean to me. (so get ready-cause I know that you are reading this)

You never know when your life is going to change in an instant.

Here from Arizona

I have always wanted to go to Arizona-never been here.
Never wanted to come here under these circumstances.
My husband and I flew here on Sunday morning.
My Father in Law was moved to the ICU here in Tuscon.
We flew in as soon as we heard.
Yesterday was a very scary day-but today he is doing a little better.
They put him on a ventalator and all kinds of other stuff.
The Dr's said that he is improving a little today.
We are so thrilled to have some good news.
Please keep us in your prayers.
We can use all the help and strength that we can get.

Just wanted to give a quick update. Thanks so much for all of your concern and prayers.

Saturday, November 8, 2008

S.O.S

My family and I, we have kind of had a hard time lately.

My headache did go away-for about 36 hours, and then it came back!!!
CRAPPY!
I am finally on some different meds that seem to be helping and lowering the pressure.
I have a diagnosis-I have high csf fluid, or in lamans terms-spinal fluid.
I have some sort of blockage somewhere that is not allowing my body to get rid of it.
We are really hoping that these meds are going to take care of it, and it's not going to come back.
If it does-they have told me a shunt might be in my future. This would solve the problem, but the idea really scares me.
If you know of anyone who battles this, or someone who knows someone who battles this, let me know. I would love to know what other have done or are doing.
The whole thing kind of freaks me out.

The lame headache update, was not the purpose of this post.
Sorry, I am so sure that you are all sick of me.
I was hoping that I could trouble you to listen to one more thing.

My Father-in-law is in the ICU battling some serious medical problems.
The worst part-he is in the ICU in Tuscon Arizona.
We live in Utah.
My in-laws were on vacation when he was hit with a major pain.
They took him to the Er-admitted him and then put him in the ICU.
My poor Mother-In-Law is there by herself.
We are kind of on call. Just waiting anxiously by the phone.

I would so appreciate it, if you my friends would say an extra prayer for my family.
We are a little nervous, espescially because we are not there.
We have priced flights and my husband is nervous and waiting.
I know that it takes faith to make it through something like this.
We both have a feeling of peace and calmness, I just know that my husband would rather be there than here.
Thanks so much for listening.
I would truly appreciate all your prayers!

Thankful for Thanksgiving decor!!!



You know, I have a really fantastic family.


I am truly blessed. Truly. But, my mom takes the cake.

She has done nothing but love and help and support through all of this crappy time.

Not only does she call and check on me every day. Worry if I don't answer the phone. She truly loves as a mom can only love.

She came over today, even though I know that she had better things to do.

She helped me take down all of the Halloween decor and put up the turkeys!

She vacuumed, rearranged, and worried if it was ok.

I love my mom. I love her more than I can ever express.

I am so spoiled to have her. I am sure that we all feel that way.

Right?

My Grandma passed away 9 years ago this December.

I loved my Grandma. She came to EVERYTHING us kids ever did!!!

She came every Christmas morning at 6a.m. to watch us kids open, more like devour our Christmas presents!!

She took us everywhere, did everything and loved us more than anything!

My mom, she is just like her.

We miss my Grandma alot. And when these holiday times ago, I have an ache that can't be filled with anything. I have a picture of her laughing and holding me one Christmas morning.

It is my favorite!

My girls adore my mom. She is the perfect Grammy and Mom!!

I am sorry to be so sappy, I have just had one of those emotional days.

You know how we get, right?

I love you Mom, thanks so much for all you do.

I truly don't know what I would do without you!

Everyone-call your Mom, or stop and think of her.

Remember how much you love, and tell her if you can!

Thanks for listening!


Here are some of my Thanksgiving decor pictures!!

I am itching to create. I just got to think of something to make.

Can't wait to see what everyone else does!

So post, so I can copy!!
I don't know if you can see her. My little faith doll is on the little chair! I love her! Every time I see her, I smile. She reminds me that I am not alone and that my Heavenly Father loves me, no matter what!! (My mom bought her for me at a local boutique)
I took this pic so you could all see my favorite picture of the Savior. He is smiling, and every time I look at his picture, I am reminded of His love, support and care. Truly a treasure in my home.
This is Tom. He is the freaking cutest turkey ever!!!! My mom and I made him about 7 years ago. He makes me smile when I see him. I just wanted everyone to love him as much as ME!!



Have a Fantastic day!!!

This is my gratitude girl. I made her about 6 years ago. I love to stich, and I love Pillows. I need to make a christmas one and a Winter one, and I have will have a seasonal pillow for every season! I love to put them up, they make me happy!!!



Look at that cutest FALL swap. And the garland and the Acorn! I know, I am spoiled! I did a swap with a fellow blogger. Why, cause I really like to get to know fellow swappers better! Jen, from Lipstick and Laughter, she so spoiled me, and I was so thrilled. Her box made my day!! She also gave me a wonderful Christmas book, a super cute little RELAX sign and a gingerbread frame, She also made me a super cute acorn magnet! I felt so spoiled! Thanks Jen-I love it all!

Look what I got!!


My hubby's work sent me some beautiful flowers!!

Are they gorgeous or what?

Why is it that flowers can make a girl have a great day?

Just had to share!!

Have a great monday

It'a gone, It's GONE!!!!


this picture was way too funny not to post. She said that she was trying to be scary. This was just the perfect pic to show all of you just how happy she was on Halloween Night! So not kidding with this one.




After a quick trip to the E.R-six hours later and I am HEADACHE FREE!!
Yep-you read correctly. Your eyes are not deceiving you.
I am a girl without a HEADACHE!!

I went to the E.R. on Thursday.
My Dad works at the hospital and talked to a Dr in the E.R, told him all about my symptoms.
The Dr said he would do a spinal tap and hopefully get me into the Neurologist sooner than FEBRUARY!!!
So, he examined me first and said that I didn't have any symptoms of excessive spinal fluid and he was probably not going to do spinal.
CRAP!
Now, it's not that I really wanted to have a spinal tap done, I was just out of options.
I went and did a couple more tests, all which were normal. He didn't know what else to do, so a Spinal Tap it was.
He ONLY had to poke me 4 times with a 4in needle, but the 4th time was the charm.
He took out 4 vials of spinal fluid.
I had 6x the normal amount. This is what was causing the pressure in my head.
It was literally minutes after he did the test, the pressure went away. NO HEADACHE!
Yea, my back hurt, but I so didn't care. I was headache free for the first time in over a MONTH!
So I am happy to report that it is gone!!
I have some scientific name, that is really long and I can't remember what it is. Another name for it is a false brain tumor.
Scary huh?
My hubby did all this research on it when we got home. Turns out, this is a pretty serious thing. It can cause blindness and brain damage if the pressure gets to high.
I am going to the neurologist on Monday. Yes, this is the same neurologist that couldn't get me in until February. Guess it just depends if one has a "false Brain Tumor" or not.

I am just so thrilled!!! My headache is gone and I am one happy momma. I don't think that I am as happy as my husband. He was thrilled beyond thrilled!
We were both crying in the room after the test was done. The first thing we did was pray.
We are both so grateful that Heavenly Father answers prayers.
Even though this whole experience was really terrible, it did bring us closer together.
I am one lucky girl.
I am so blessed and so grateful!!

i just wanted you all to know the news.
Thank you so much for all your words of concern and advice~
I am blessed to have friends like all of you!!!

Sure hope that you all have wonderful weekend!
I know that I will!!
