Signed, Sealed, Delivered !

-

Not quite like the popular song, but National Boards is sealed and delivered!  I finished and packed it on Friday, March 27th with the help of my wonderful mom!  I couldn't have completed this entire process without her!  She has been so wonderful!  Thanks MOM!  

Wednesday - March 25th, Justin and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary!  He gave me a planter with Gerber daises (my favorite)!  He is so thoughtful.  Since, I was completely bogged with National Boards, we didn't go out or anything.  But when I finished packing it on Friday at 6:30pm, we threw some clothes in a bag and went to Memphis.  We mailed "the box" on Saturday morning and I thought I was going to be sick.  When you actually understand the worth of the box (extra $6000 a year) it will make you sick to think about not passing!  We went to eat at Rendezvous in Downtown for lunch!  (It was great, as usual)

This week has been fast and furious as well.  In my class at school, we have started our FLUGTAG study and are starting to build.  Ours is a small scale competition, but it will be a blast!  We are inviting everyone this year, not just parents!  It is on Saturday, May 9 at North Pontotoc (Times aren't definite yet) and it only costs $1 to watch!  It is awesome!   Anyway, that is what is going on at school.

Justin and I have been working in the yard a little this week and plan to do some more work next week.  Our lawn mower is in the shop, so for anyone who loves to mow - Our yard is going to need cows soon.  We are also working on some painting in our bathroom.  You know our lives just aren't any fun without two or three things going on at once! 

Yesterday, though, we did have time for some good John's Creek fun!  Justin's cousin, Nathan, wants to see how high/far he can fly a kite.  So, he put a kite on a 2100 foot roll of fishing twine and came to the field beside our house to fly it!  I have never seen a kite so HIGH!!  There were times when I lost it and couldn't see it!  The birds were flying BELOW the kite!  It was so awesome.  I tried to get a picture of it, but it was too bright outside for me to see to take  a picture.  The kite went across the road and over a few houses!  It finally took a nose dive into some trees.  (Meg, this is the fun stuff you can do in Winfield!)

Anyway, its almost church time!  Hope everyone has  a great Sunday and listens to God's direction for your week!

I know you are so proud to have your boards sent off. I did the Take One Process last year, because my district made us, and it was terrible and that was only one entry. Congrats, I know you will be great. Get ready to spend your money!

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
