Good Times

-

This week has been a great week!  It didn’t start off too well, but it has made up for itself.  For anyone who doesn’t know, our dog (Ty) has been taking beginner training classes for a few weeks now.  We have been going every Monday night to PetsMart for an hour to learn commands such as: sit, stand, down, up, leave it, take it, drop it, and STAY.  He is passing with flying colors with the exception of STAY!  We thought he would get to graduate last week, but unfortunately STAY did not go well.  I understand that he should not pass if he doesn’t know the commands, but still disappointed.  Monday night was not a good night.  Tuesday morning, I took a deep breath and decided this would not ruin my week. 

The week began to improve - - I like to sleep, I need sleep, I’m a happy person when I get to go to bed early, I get up on time and not in a rush, when I go to bed on time.  This week, Justin had a busy week at work and he was pretty exhausted when he came home each night.  So, we went to bed by 9:00pm every night this week!  Loved it!  We were on time for work and not rushed to get there! 

Tuesday night – I am taking IC3 training at school.  It’s a basic computer certification.  I did much better on my practice tests this week!  Wednesday night at church, the Bible Drillers made me smile!  They are working so hard and I get so excited to see their improvements!  Friday night, Justin and I had an indoor date night!  We ordered a pizza and watched a movie (Oceans 12).  I always enjoy watching a good movie, even if I’ve seen it a few times!  Saturday morning, we didn’t have to get up early (1st Saturday in about 6 weeks!)  We got up, made it Starbucks by 10:30, did a little leisurely shopping (had a blast, laughed a lot!), came home, visited with his parents while our dogs played, went out to eat, and once again went to bed early!

Now, nothing about this week made Ty learn to STAY any better, but we are working on this and will continue!  Hopefully, he will graduate tomorrow night and we advance to INTERMEDIATE classes!

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

Boston Bound

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
