Blogging on a lazy, rainy Saturday night . . .

-

I’ve been meaning to talk about this lately, but has slipped my mind. For those of you who follow my blog, you know that back in March on vacation my family swapped secret sibling gifts. My secret sibling got me a “BAGGU”. This is a shopping bag with a cute little pouch to put it in. I am officially going green. So, it took me a few weeks to get up the nerve to use it because it isn’t something most people around here use. My bag is very cute, its black with white polka dots. (I got this picture from the BAGGU website and I think this is the one I have.)

So a few weeks ago, I got up the nerve to use it at Red Line Markets (our local grocery store). My cousin, who was the cashier that night, laughed at me when I said, “I have my own bag.” Anyway, I had finally got that first time over and have now used it at Wal-Mart too. Most of the time, my groceries at Wal-Mart won’t fit into that one bag, but I have been telling the cashier she can put more items in the same bag. The cashier at Wal-Mart didn’t look at me funny at all. They sell “going green” shopping bags, so I figure they are used to it! My “baggu” holds much more than a regular sack and I’m having a good time using it! Meg, seriously you should get you one to go with your coffee at your brand new Wal-Mart in Winfield!

Moving on . . . I wrote a few weeks ago that Justin and I repainted our bathroom. So here are some pics. The first shows my wonderful husband hard at work and notice the “beautiful” green we painted 3 years ago. I wish I had better before and after pictures. Second is the completed project with my beautiful new shower curtain.

The pictures don’t do show it like HGTV would ,but we like it!

This week we’ve been planting flowers and the rain today just makes the color look great! We were going to plant the garden today, but we were rained out. Hopefully next week we can get the plants in the ground.

School is winding down. My schedule is Flugtag –this Saturday, MCT the next week, family outing to Rendezvous', one week of school and Justin’s Birthday on the 23rd! Then summer vacation!

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

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
