Crazy Life

Well life had been nothing short of eventful.
Our computer kinda crashed about three weeks ago. We are in the process of having it fixed (thanks Mike). And thanks again to Mike he is letting us borrow a lap top. So I have a little more access to the internet. So my blog is a little behind and a lot boring. I am going to try and update you a little. But no cute pictures of my kids to help with the blah, blah, blah that I write.

We have experienced a lot this past month. The Monday before Thanksgiving I had my breast reduction completed. Wow, I still cant believe I had it done. I have been talking for along time about doing this. I still look down and cant believe they are actually smaller. And it feels great. I have had a little harder time recovering than I thought. It has been hard to have someone (mainly Adam) completely take care of me. I am so grateful for Adam, my mother in law, Cindy, Bliss, family. I know I cant name everyone and the amazing things they did for me, but I had to have help with my kids, with my hair, with just getting up and comfortable. But it has roughly been three weeks and I am feeling great. I can lift my arms now, pick up Sophie, do my hair, take a shower, fix dinner, sweep the floor, push a stroller, put my kids to bed, pick up my house, do the dishes, help with laundry, put on my shoes, ( I could go on and on, but then I would just bore you). It is amazing how many things I took for granted. I do have a little infection, but with antibiotics and TLC I am doing great and they are looking better and better each day. I am so glad I finally did this. I will look great for the summer, YEAH!!!!!!!!

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with my family, grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, parents, and brothers & sisters. It was a nice to see everyone and feel of love and concern. What a great day to have good food, good company and a relaxing time. I was not much help, I could not do anything. But just being around people I love was awesome.

Adam has been thinking of going back to school. So this past week he has been attending some information seminars for his MBA. I know that he needs to do this, I knew that he needed to do this sooner than later, I know it will be worth it, but I am not ready. At least he would not be starting until next fall. He has to take a test, apply, get accepted, and prepare (or convince me) that it is time. How crazy life will be. I thought it was bad now. At least he will be the program with his brother. (Emily and I can keep each other company.) Adam also promised before he starts that he will take us on a family vacation (so get ready Katy and Tammy, I think we are actually going to make it to visit.)

The kids are the same old. Sophie is teething and getting better since mom is doing better. Jessica is loving having friends to play with. Hailey is a social butterfly. And Curtis is always bored, but loves playing with friends.

We are getting ready for Christmas, if course we need to do more shopping. I am so grateful for my sister (Brenda & her girls) and my mom for coming last week and setting up my Christmas tree and decorations. They helped clean my house and do my laundry too. It looks and felt amazing. This helped me get ready for book club. Yes, I agreed to do the book club Christmas party at my house. Adam was great at getting things ready and we had a great time.

Thanks for all the prayers and happy thoughts. Thanks for all the amazing offers of kindness and thank you for all the service offered in our behalf.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas season.
