Life in the fast lane . . .

So, for those of you out there who think that teachers don’t deserve the summer off.  Don’t worry, I don’t feel like I’ve had a break!

I have been very busy, but it has all been worth it!  I mentioned a few weeks ago that my sister was planning  a summer mission project for our church and youth group!  Many people have jumped in and worked very hard!  This week was the first week of  X-treme Life Camp!  The theme for the summer camp is living your life to the extreme for GOD!  Each week the kids are learning about people in the Bible who lived their life to the extreme for GOD!  Amber has done an excellent job with planning, our church has been very generous to donate materials and pray, and many of the youth have volunteered to help.  They have done an awesome job working with the kids! Much of the responsibility each day is theirs: set-up, clean-up, feed the kids snack, make/lead crafts, play games, etc.  I have been helping drive the vans and then I get to sit back and watch the youth serve the Lord! 

Amongst this, gardening, mowing, the usual house stuff (which my husband may say hasn’t been much of that being done), and taking care of my cute puppy has occupied my days.  (And maybe a few power naps). 

Ok, so it really hasn’t been that hard.  But it has been busy.  Here are a few pics.

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, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

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 and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
