Things are looking up!

We are finally beginning to feel "human" again. Grammy is doing great from her gallbladder surgery. Mom got the staples out and is getting around pretty well. She still has a long road but is expected to recover. She is still getting IV's twice a day and has about 4 weeks of that left. I went to the doctor for a post-surgery checkup and got most of the packing removed. It will take some more time to determine if the surgery was successful at restoring my hearing. I am still hurting off and on but things are looking up. In the meantime, we have all had a little cold going around at our house but now we are doing better.

Wedding plans are in the works and it will soon be here. We attended a wedding shower today for Alex and Amanda and have another one to go to tomorrow. The flowers are all finished and the details are coming together for the rest of the decorations. Raegan's dress finally came in and it fits great. I got my dress and we have ordered Scott's tux. We are finishing the final plans for the rehearsal dinner and desserts.

It looks like school plans have changed slightly. I was going to begin college again in January to get my ED.S but they have decided to start the program up in the fall. This may be a blessing in disguise since things have been so hectic lately. I am looking forward to going back to school but this will probably be my last degree for a while. LOL! Everytime I say that my dad says yeah right until the next one rolls around but I'm serious this time.

Raegan got her first report card from school. We are proud of her and all she has accomplished. I love to see how much she loves school....ahhh evidently just like her mommy. She works intently to memorize her Bible verses. They recite one a week on Fridays and then they get to go to the treasure chest. We practice with her each week and she enjoys the praise and the reward for her success. She has made many friends at school and I am proud to see her personality through her interactions with these little friends. We plan to send her there next year but after that I'm not sure what will happen. Private school is so expensive but such an investment so I am praying about it!

My sweet husband has been a blessing lately. He has helped clean the house, take care of me and my mom, and cooked for us. He has been so thoughtful and kind while things have been so crazy. He has been a rock to me! I love you Scott....I can't believe that 10 years ago this month we met. Neither of us were too serious about a relationship but we were crazy about each other. You told me to just let it go where it was meant to go...get on the train and ride...and so here we are. We are committed in a wonderful marriage and still crazy about each other. Thank you for 10 great years of being yours.
