Father's Day

To all of the daddies who are able to hold their children and watch them grow...
I wish for you a day surrounded by the people you love and hope that happy memories are being made.
Happy Father's Day Daddy, PaPa & Mr. Cloud

To all of the daddies who have experienced the loss of a child and for whom today is a reminder of what should have been...
I pray that the Lord would give you peace and understanding as you maneuver through this journey of grief and endure these tough days.

Happy Father's Day to you B.
I love you.

B. cannot take a picture!

Bless his heart.....

He just cannot take a good picture.

He tried really hard but it just didn't happen!

We had a really fun night with N. & C.

 It was great to hang out and listen to Martha's Trouble!

This Week.

I love my jobs. Yes, I did say jobs. I'm still teaching preschool everyday to my lovely little angels and I'm also a ministry assistant at our church. I work with our Early Childhood Director. Love love love my jobs...but I am SO busy. I already see a crazy busy weekend ahead of me! Busy is good.


Note sure if I even said what was wrong with my shoulder. I fell and caught myself with my arm locked. To make a long story short, I found out that my shoulder came out of socket and went back in on it's own. After looking at the MRI, the doctor told me that my shoulder went back into place incorrectly and because of this I have a pool of fluid and a lot of swelling behind the front muscles of my rotator cuff. Physical Therapy is going well. I am seeing such huge improvements in my injured shoulder. I'm doing a ton of stuff that I couldn't do four weeks ago. I'm still in pain but it is getting much more bearable. I do not enjoy paying for the physical therapy. It is going to end up being almost $50 a session. The therapist thinks I'm probably going to need 3 to 4 sessions a week for the next 6 weeks. OUCH! I'm hoping that this will only be a 2 or maybe 3 week thing...one week down already. It seems like the second we get out finances back on track and remotely feel like we are on our feet again...something happens...every time!


Guess who came to visit on Tuesday???

Sister Woman and D. Piddy! They were only here for one night. I wish they could have stayed longer. We had a great time. I wish that we lived closer. I'm always sad when they leave =-(

FYI - All of the pictures posted in the past week or so have been from my phone. I have been wanting to get a really good camera for a long time but it keeps going further and further down the list of things to buy. This year we have already had to replace the dryer, washer, laptop and we bought a "new" used car (it was way past time) and have paid for a TON of medical bills....I'm guessing the new camera will not be happening any time soon. 


Ok, this post is turning into one huge ramble so I will stop now.
Happy Thursday Night to all of you.

Sunburnt - Baseball Tournament - Fun Times

I wish I had time to blog all about the fun weekend we have had but it's 10 pm and I'm a zombie if I don't go to sleep by 9 pm. (this will be a quick post) This weekend Auburn has been hosting one of the regional tournaments for college baseball. Bryant loves baseball so I really wanted to go. It has been extremely HOT! I am not a girl that likes to sweat but it has been fun. Our sweet friend  A. and little Miss K. came to stay with us on Friday night. It was so great to catch up with them. We will be heading back out to the baseball field tomorrow night to see if Auburn came win this thing! War Eagle! Boo Clemson!

Bryant and I are having fun. I'm realizing every day how much we need this right now. I just need time. It's so weird because I still have a lot of moments where I feel really badly about having fun. I feel like "fun" shouldn't be something that we do anymore. Life has changed for us so much. Sometimes it's very hard to see how much we moved forward from losing Nate. This is such a journey for us. A journey filled with so many hills and twist and turns. I know that even in the fun there is still sadness. I had so much fun this weekend but seeing daddies taking their little boys to the baseball field was tough. I know it was hard for Bryant too.

God is in the waiting. I don't like it and I certainly don't understand why, but I know this statement to be completely true. Our pastor talked about this today. I wish I didn't know it. I wish I couldn't identify with sermons on waiting, tragedy, difficult times or grief but I can. It's the path we have been given to walk on....so we keep walking..

I know I probably need to post a shoulder update but I don't have anymore energy tonight. Physical therapy starts tomorrow and I'm scared. More details to come....

busy week

  

June is here!

Craziness.

Time is going by so quickly that it shocks me every time I look at the calendar.

I had a great weekend at home with my family. I love seeing them. I was able to spend a good bit of time with my grandparents. I also got to see D. and the kids...and Sister Woman too.

Good times...

I had an MRI on my shoulder Tuesday. They put this stuff in my shoulder. I'm not sure if it was the dye or contrast stuff. All I know is that it hurt a LOT! I've had a lot of medical procedures done in the past year and this was definitely one of the most painful ones. I went to the doctor today to get the results. When I got there they informed me that my appointment was tomorrow. Awesome. So, tomorrow I'll find out what the doctor wants to do. I'm still in a lot of pain. I can't really use my left arm/shoulder at all without hurting. It makes it very difficult to be a two year old teacher and only have one good arm.

This week is turning into a week where I need about three extra days to get everything I need to do done. I have a lot going on with work, house stuff, doctor's appointments, planning some fun stuff and the weekend is the NCAA Auburn Regional Baseball Tournament. Bryant and I will be at the ball field Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. I'll try to be a good blogger and post pictures!

*Wonderful World of Trying to be Pregnant and Stay Pregnant Update*

I had my post op today w/ Dr. H. Everything was good and my hormone levels are where they need to be. That's good. We have a plan for the future...a new plan. Bryant and I are very encouraged and still hopeful. I'm just not sure when we are going to be putting this plan into action. I feel like it's time to rest and just breathe.
