Snow Day . . .

-
I can't believe it snowed! The weather man said it would but I was skeptical. Of course, its almost melted by now, but still . . . SNOW!! We got a snow day from church, but that is not the same as a snow day out of school.

Still striving onward with the National Boards. I actually think I made good progress this week. My goal for finishing is two weeks. We are going on vacation during Spring Break and I don't want that hanging over me. My sweet husband encourages by saying, "You're the one that is going to be working while I play all week." I guess he knows how to motivate me and he would . . . "Play without me" on spring break. He really has been great and always ask how he can help me finish, but there really isn't anything he can do. I want to finish, pack, and mail it before we leave. It has to be postmarked by March 31st, so if I don't get it mailed before I leave I might can live with that.

This is my busy life. My friends are selling houses, buying houses, moving to new towns and having babies. I have too much going on for that right now, but I agree with MEG that growing up is scary. I don't want to make big decisions about houses, insurances, and children. I will stick to making tough decisions about students and trying to solve their problems.

Point of Blog today . . . 2 weeks until Spring Break . . .Must finish National Boards!!

Room Service

Justin has been moved to a room this morning!  He is doing great!  All of the doctors and nurses are very excited about his progress.  Before leaving ICU, they removed most of his “stuff” (except for one IV).  This allow him to move around more freely, which is the next step.  Justin will be getting up and walking around this afternoon.  He is also just starting to eat again.  If you think about it, he hasn’t had anything since Monday night supper.  So, it will be like learning how to eat after the stomach virus.  We are praying this doesn’t make him sick.  They will also be giving pain medicine by mouth, so we are also praying that his pain continues to stay under control! He is making such great progress!  I think he is far ahead, especially with moving around, than he was this far out of last year with his surgery!  That is exciting!  Praising the Lord for this! Loving your comments, I read them to Justin as he is dozing in and out.  I can’t wait to read them to him when he is

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

Congrats to . . . 1. Suzy, my cousin, for guessing the name before the last letter was released!  She was the first to send in the correct answer! 2. Chris and Paige; Chad and Ashley; and Lindsay for sending in correct answers on the blog!  Great job to Paige for being creative in her posting! 3. Ashley V. for texting in the correct answer! 4. Mrs. Donna for knowing before the last letter was posted and just heard the letters during choir practice! 5. Larry Swords for correctly guessing through a verbal guess! Charles Elliot McMillen will be joining us in a few short months!  It sounds even closer when you count it in weeks – 15 more weeks to go! Charles – Justin’s father and grandfather both had the first name of Charles!  Charles means strong, manly; valiant one. Elliot – Jehovah is my God – When we first talked about the name, we were still talking about other options until we found the meaning!  We love the meaning of his name! Thank you for playing along in ou
