Staying warm...

Thresca     

Ohhhh, December...you've been quite the mess!  
Deadlines, appointments, and medical tests!
If you could please just slow down and allow us to pause,
we want to celebrate the baby Jesus and Mr. Claus.
We've put up our tree and wrapped it with lights,
it's warmed our hearts and made our house bright.
I haven't bought presents, really haven't started the list...
I've got to get going so that no one is missed.
Please stop rushing, December.  You're important to me.
I want to celebrate you fully before it's January!

Where ya been?

This statement says it all...

Keep-Calm-and...
Unfortunately the Thanksgiving holiday didn't bring about the fun that I had hoped.  It was a wonderful day, but the strange neurological disease that I have battled since I was 17 showed it's ugly head during the break.  It's been NO fun and I have had to take some time off from regular life to seek out doctors and treatment. 

So to say the least, this Thanksgiving I was thankful for doctors, medication, a comfy bed, my wonderful husband, and the time off to rest.  Thank you, Lord, for each of those.  I know that God has me right where he wants me to be...it's just tough to understand why all of this is happening now.  I've lived the past 5 years without any major problems so the change has definitely brought about some shock.

Ok, enough about the serious stuff...let's get back to the fun! 

Guess what arrived yesterday?  She's just beautiful.  She arrived at 3:52 pm, weighing 13 lb. 2 oz, and measuring 25" long.

Yes, our beautiful dining room chandelier is here. 


We brought her home yesterday and placed her in her new room!  We just love her!  She's still adjusting to the change, but we hope to have her in place and loving our home very soon. 

I'm hoping to get back to blogging very soon.  Thanks to all of you that have kept checking back to see if I have posted.  I have tons and tons of ideas spinning in my head so stay tuned! 

xoxo,
