Catching Up!

-
So its no secret, I'm terrible at blogging! How long has it been? I was off for Christmas and still couldn't find the time!


Our lives aren't as exciting as most. I'm working dilegently on my National Boards (as you can tell, since I am spending time doing this!) My mom has been great about pushing me ownward, but at some point, I'm going to have to push myself. I'm usually a procastinator, but not usually to this extent. I keep telling myself I can do this, but the motivation is lacking. As I was telling Beth earlier today. I sit at my computer and stare at the documents I am writing. Nothing comes to mind. Just staring and thinking . . .


My loving husband sits in his new recliner in our office reading his Microsoft books and setting goals to accomplish! If he wasn't in here, I would be even worse. We have a small tv in our office, which will no longer work after the digital transition, but when I am alone I watch whatever is on the 2 channels that the antennea picks up.


Justin and I are working hard on losing some weight. We are doing sugar-busters and pressing forward. It is the best diet for us, becuase it doesn't completely alter your life. We make subsitutes for certain foods and eat what we want. I am working out at school and Jillian (from Biggest Loser) is kicking my tail! It is the most intense workout I've ever done, but I keep on becasue it is obvioiusly working. I have had so much more energy since I changed my diet and have been working out regularly! I would highly recommend it to anyone who just feels tired and worn out all the time. I have more energy to wash clothes, clean house, and cook supper and I promise those aren't things I enjoy in my spare time!

Sweet writing! You might trying doing all your writing at the very last minute. It usually works for me after a long crying fit around midnight of the due date. Seriously, though, I don't recommend it. Keep pushing forward!

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal...

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, ...

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book a...
