So, I’m a little behind on my blogging.   I have a funny story about our Natchez trip, but tonight I want to skip ahead to today! 

Today is our4 year wedding anniversary!  Although, the  years haven’t been easy, they have been a blast!  Our trip to Natchez was our anniversary trip and we bought a new camera for our anniversary present to each other.  But today was a great day – even with no presents!

I came home from school to find some beautiful daises!  (Which, Justin says he  tried not to pick over 1 or 2 from any single yard. :) 

Anniversary Flowers 2010 (12)

In case you don’t know – Gerbers are my favorite!  AND they were the main flower for our wedding!  Yeah – I know my husband’s the best!

Our night continued with my ideal date.  We discussed going to Boure or Old Venice, but settled on Pizza Hut.   Drastic difference, I know, but this was the best!

We ordered our 1/2 BBQ, 1/2 Super Supreme Pizza from Pizza Hut online.  Stopped at the store to buy popcorn and coke.   Picked up our Pizza and came straight home.   We then watched “Did you hear about the Morgans?”  streamed over the internet through the Xbox!    (Yes – my idea of a perfect night is ordering out – eating in and watching a movie.)   It reminds me of when Justin and I were dating.  Every Sunday when we got back to Starkville, we would spend the afternoon unpacking and then get together for supper.  Usually it was a $5 large pepperoni pizza (had to only be 1 topping) from Papa Johns, which we would pick up to save on delivery.  Go rent a movie or watch a classic.  And spend the evening together.   So, I would say this anniversary was pretty close to perfect .  .  .

 Four years ago today,

we both promised our lives away

A promise to love

and never let go.

A promise to live

the only life that we know.

Its been a great ride

full of laughs and big smiles.

There have also been

Some tears through the miles,

but I have to say

that no matter the minute

You are the only person,

with which I would spend it.

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
