great weekend!

Well this weekend was pretty good! Saturday I went to a wedding for a couple at church. It was a sweet and simple wedding. They are so cute together and obviously so in love. Then I came back to the condo and went to the pool. AHH yay for the pool!! Then I went to mom and dad's so we could go to a birthday party of an old friends children. Sadly she wasn't there, but her mom and her children were, she had gotten sick. Then we went by her parents new house, which is HUGE!!! Its like 7,000 sq. ft. I can't imagine. Then we came back to the house and ate dinner. I wasn't planning on staying @ home last night but I did because I was watchin real world which was really good. I miss my satelitte. I will survive.. That is what DVR is for. This morning when dad woke me up he told me that Laura, KC's friend was in Labor and was gettin ready to have her baby! Kate Elizabeth was born at 9:15 and was 8lbs 2 oz, 21 1/2 in. long. I went to church, then we had a lunch and guess what I did when I got home.... I went to the POOL!!! Then I came in and got ready and went to see baby Kate! She's soo cute. I also went to 3J and saw my friends. I stayed up there for a couple of hours talkin to Kendra and Connie, I went and got them a burger. It was very nice. Those ladies on 3J made a huge impact on my life and I don't think they'll ever understand. They came in and did things for you, yes it was their job, but they wanted to know how you were feeling and if you were getting better, and they wanna be your friend and comfort you if you were having trouble. The nurses were the same way. I spent a quite of bit of time up there for 5 months of my life and really saw this. Yes, they had bad days, don't we all? I think that I possibly made an impact on their lives too, but its a different type. I say all that to say, if you spend any amount of time in the hospital take the time to say thank you to your care partners and nurses. Let them do their job and let them impact your life the way they have mine!

Some people are gonna think I'm crazy for saying this, but I wouldn't take back going through cancer because that exerpience as a whole has taught me so many things that I could never learn not goint through it all. I'm glad that Jesus, allowed me to have that experience and I pray that I brought Him glory through the situation.

Good Night! :)

results from the test

I had the glucose tolerance test tuesday and it went well I suppose. I am what they call glucose intolerant. Thankfully, I'm not diabetic, but it could lead to diabetes if I don't learn to control my sugar intake. I have to schedule an appointment with a diabetic dietician to learn the things that I need to avoid and how to watch my diet. Once I schedule and have the appointment I will let you know how things go.

I have been housesitting for a week now. I like it, but I do miss the company of my parents. I spent about 3 hours at the pool this afternoon and got some sun :) I pland to do the same next weekend :) More later :) Time for church!!

peace!

the morning after a rain

I've thought of this several times, but have never wrote about it, so now I'm going to. Last night we had a thunderstorm that had a little bit of rain with it. We need the rain here desperately. This morning when we left for church I looked out at our garden and the plants looked nice and refreshed as well as the soil that was around them. I reminded me of how Christ is with us. We can be dry and dragging the ground and then Jesus comes in and rains on us and revives our lifes so that we look like we've just been refreshed by the rain. I'm am reminded of the song "Great is thy Faithfulness" morning by morning new mercies I see..

have a great night :)

Dr.'s Appointments and such!

I went to the Dr. on friday to have a wart frozen off and have my thyroid levels checked because they were up a little when the ob-gyn checked them a few months ago. Well the Dr. decided to check my glucose as well, because for some reason they are worried about me being diabetic, but its a good precaution, because it does run in my family so I am at risk. My glucose has been checked at least 3 times in the last year and each time it has been fine, but this time it was elevated. I'm not sure how elevated it was, but on tuesday I go to have a 2 hr. glucose test. I have to be honest, I'm nervous about this, because sometimes I'm just not sure how much more I can handle as far as medical issues in my life. I know that God will not put more on me than I can handle, but it's just so much in such a short period of time. Please pray that all goes well on the test and it was just simply because of something that wasn't under my control. Once I know the results of the test I will let you know! Also while I was at the dr.'s office the nurses who were trying to draw blood found out I had been through chemo and asked how I was doing and all but they weren't oh thats so sad and stuff.. I was happy about that. I am not ashamed that I had cancer nor do I think it was a bad thing. It was an experience I wouldnt trade for anything because it brought me so much closer to the Lord and my friends and family. I know I just said that I didn't know how much more I can handle, it's just because sometimes things can be so overwhelming, but that I realize why I had to go through that.

As far as everything else. It is going well. I am going to be housesitting for 4 weeks! I'm very excited, it will kind of be like living on my own. A great thing is the place has a pool and its extremely close! When I housesit it makes me realize how much I appreciate my parents and that I do like living with them. It can be kind of lonely living by yourself. Tomorrow we are going to Salisbury for Father's day Lunch! Then I will move into the house.

Til we meet again!

life

Well, things are still going well. I'm staying busy, and sometimes I just wanna relax after I've had a busy week.

I don't know what I want to say.. so i'm gonna go..
