Well, I guess it is time to update again!
I am excited to report that our Bowling night went GREAT! We had 15 that went AND we have 20 people signed up to go snow tubing! Check out where we are going at www.perfectnorth.com !
God is truly blessing our minstry with the kids already! AMEN!
Michael pulled out his old Trombone and Euphonium from his mom's house the other day. He is wanting to be a band geek, I mean start playing again! tee hee hee (and one time...at band camp...) Mandie hates it when he plays. It hurts her ears. She runs over to me to hide when he starts to play. His Euphonium or however you spell it has been in the closet at his moms house for 13 + years and has been affected by the moisture and has greened in some spots. So we took it in today to be worked on! The man at the music store said "Wow, an instrument this beautiful needs to be cleaned up and played and he noticed from his mouth piece that he must be an excellent player. I think that it is cool that I will finally get to share that part of his life with him again and hear him play. We are going to do special music at church! My man is so talented!!!!!
Enough bragging!
I am glad that our friends Cindy and Matt are staying in KY for a long while! How selfish of me, as I know that her family just as mine does would love for her to move back to Dallas!
But I am glad they are staying here. She is a great friend-even though she is an Aggie! :O)
I go back to the Dr. in 2 weeks and I hope that she will release us to go ahead and start trying to have a baby again. I am ready for that. Congrats to Lynn and Holly who are going to be parents!

Attack of the killer Mullet
Never, Never, Never let you mom dig through old pictures on Thanksgiving Day! This is what happens!!
Turkey Day, Black Friday, Bowling.....
We had a very nice Turkey Day. Mary cooked a yummy spread and it was nice to just relax. Then we went to Brian and Eileen's for our traditional meal with them. We had a great time there too! Thanks for having us again.
Well, I swore that I would not venture out on Black Friday. But my sister in law Jennifer scammed me into going. We went to JC Penney, Peebles and then to the dreaded Walmart. I got out of all those places with just buying some peppermint chapstick and peppermint mocha coffee creamer... (guess I was on a peppermint kick-Tis the Season).
Pretty good huh! They had tons of sales by golly, but I abstained!!!!
Tonight we are taking the youth group bowling. So far we have about 10 that are going-which for our church is great. We called every kid on the list. We are very excited to see how things are going to progress with this.
Tomorrow will be church, Michael is taking the pictures for the church directory. I am so proud of my wonderful husband. He has so many incredible talents and he is humble about everyone of them. Most of all, he uses them to help other people. Doesn't get any better than that.
I wonder when Janna Bananna is going to have her baby. I am praying that everything goes smooth and that God wraps his arms around her and Wade during this time. What great parents they will be!
We sure missed seeing our Texas family for Turkey Day, but we are so glad you had a great one.
We love you! Sounds like you had quite an adventure on the road. Bad Boys Bad Boys Whatcha gonna do......ha ha

Happy Birthday Cindy!
Happy Birthday to Cindy!
A few poems I made up especially for your birthday tomorrow:
Happy Birthday to you,
Cindy Loo you live in a shoe
You smell like a monkey, but don't look like one-true!
Cindy from D-town you are so cute
You were a band geek and played the flute!
I'm sorry your an Aggie-we won't hold that against you
But if you were a Longhorn, you would wouldn't be so blue!
Nesco was no fun, I will have to say
I am so glad neither of us had to stay!
You say it's your birthday, you are getting old
Soon you will need Fixodent for your dentures to hold!
From the Cavalier to the Silver Bullet
I am just glad you don't have a Mullet!
Cici's pizza you do like to feast,
when you don't get your pizza you are truly a beast!
Moving on up to the North side,
Now to come visit me it will truly be a long ride! :O)
Celebrating your b-day on turkey day
at least your off work so that you can play!
OK, that is truly enough out of me! ha ha
Hope your birthday is great!

Exciting Sunday
What a wonderful day we had yesterday!
We went to church yesterday morning and had such a great service. Our pastoral staff is phenominal. We announced our upcoming bowling and pizza night for this coming Sat. , but got very little response which was somewhat discouraging. Then we were asked if the youth could decorate the CHRISTmas tree this year. So we are going to do that before we go bowling.
Along came Sunday night!!!!
It was the annual Thanksgiving Potluck and worship service. WE GRUBBED!!!!! Such yummy vittles! Vola our pastor, asked several people if they would come up and give a Thanksgiving testimony, and of course he asked Michael and I. So we shared what we were thankful for this year etc. Many others shared as well and it was special to hear how God has been working in our church. Now here comes the most exciting part!
We announced our Snow Tubing trip that we planned for the kids. WHAT A RESPONSE!
Many of you know that our youth group has been VERY slow going getting started.
We had 2 sign up. A boy and his sister. Now this isn't just any boy, this is a boy that Vola told us about who comes pretty faithfully to church, but his grandparents told him that he isn't a Christian. How exciting! This is a huge step for this kid, and I am so excited that he is going to go. He also goes to the same Highschool that Michael went to and plays the drums in the band, like Michael did. So that is something that they have in common.
I just know that God is going to use Michael in this boys life and many others too!
Several kids have asked if Michael would be willing to give them drum lessons and just show them the basic techniques. So Michael told them he would start that up!
God is working in our lives in many incredible ways. I am so thankful for our church. It has been such a ministry to us in just the few short months we have gone there.
Please lift our youth ministry up in your prayers. Pray for Michael and I as we take this on. Pray for the kids and that we can spark an interest in them to come. Pray for preperation of their hearts.
God is good, ALL the time.
This thanksgiving I am thankful for God's faithfulness!!

The last few days
Hey there family and friends.
Things here in KY are good. I am recovering slowly but surely from my surgery and looking forward to feeling better and better each day.
I go see the Orthopedic Dr. on Friday for my ankle/foot, so wish me luck there and pray to God that he does not say the word surgery!
I have had my fill of surgery's to last a lifetime.
We had a nice visit with Heather and Lukey. He was a little out of his element and it was hard on him, but I sure enjoyed him being here! My oh My how he has grown. Like a little weed. What a big boy!! It was good to spend time with Heather as well. We had good sister time together!
Mom will be here until Sunday a.m. and we are enjoying each other's company as well. It was good to have the family together, but wasn't the same without Jason.
It is growing cold here and we had some severe thunderstorms last night and even a tornado in Western KY, but it didn't effect us. Now it is just cold and they are predicting some snow flurries!
Well, I guess that is about all that I know for now. Had to do a quick update for ya.

Surgery update
PRAISE GOD!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers. I truly believe in the power of prayer. I certainly always have, but it seems that it has been more evident in my life lately!
My surgery went great. Dr. Karon cleared out all the endimetriosis and also the tumor that I had in there. She also released an adheasion that was on my colon and was sticking to the uterus.
I came out of anistesia a lot better this time and it was not bad at all this time.
I am feeling so much better than the last time. I prayed that God would allow this one to be better so that I could enjoy my family being here and not have to lay in bed the whole time and he certainly answered my prayers!
Thank you to everyone who prayed for me. Thanks to Mary for being here for me again and for all that you do for us. Thanks to Mom, Heather and Winkerbean for coming to visit aunt Brooke! Thanks to Eileen and Brian for coming for a vist. Thanks to Matthew and Vola for being there too. Cindy, thanks for offering to pick up my family at the airport. Annie, thanks again for providing for them to be here. Angela, thanks for your sweet card the other day.
I love you all!

Finally... an update
Hi, it's me.
I know it has been a while.
I am exhausted, but the blog Nazi sent me a warning, so I had no other choice but to update!
One more day of work and then I am off for a week. Wish it was for vacation!
I am very excited to see my family on saturday! I am very nervous however about my upcoming surgery. I am afraid of going thru the pain again! Uggghhh!
Well, sorry folks but it is going to have to be short and sweet tonight!
I am off to ice my foot and put it up.
I had my MRI yesterday and will know the results in probably a week, but in the meantime my foot is getting worse!
Please continue to pray for our friend Jim. The visitation is on Fri. and the funeral is Sat. Pray for Michael too to have strength for Jim.
Will update more later on!

Prayer
Well, there goes another weekend. Man do they go by too fast.
Monday here we come! 2 weeks without seeing my boss. He is out of town this week and then I will be off the whole week after that. YIPPEEEEEEEE !!!!! 2 weeks without seeing him is like Chirstmas and my birthday all wrapped up in one!
Please pray for our friend Jimmy. Many of you may remember him from our wedding. His mom and dad were in Hawaii celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and his dad died. They think that he had a heart attack. So they have to transport him here back to Kentucky. Please pray that the funeral does not fall at the same time of my surgery, because we want Michael to be able to go to the funeral to support his friend. I know that God already knows the future and is in control of it.
Please pray also for my MRI on Tues. and my surgery on Fri. Also pray for a safe trip for Mom, Heather and Lukey. Pray that traveling with Lukey will not be difficult, and that everything will fall into place! Thanks again Annie for providing a way for them to be here!

A Week in Review
OK, OK, GEEZ LADIES CAN'T A GIRL BE TOO BUSY TO BLOG EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE... HA HA!
What a week! First off, I finally I am blonde again. I got my hair cut and colored. And my eyebrows waxed. Sure makes a girl feel better!!!
I go for an MRI on my ankle on Tuesday and then go to an orthopedic surgeon 1 week after my other surgery. What an inconvenience! My friend loaned me one of those boots that they give you when you break your ankle, so it has been so much better. Although, I feel like I am doing more harm than good to it.
I am having my suregery next Friday. Mom and Heather and Lukey will be here next Sat. I am so very excited to spend time with them. I will probably be flying high from the pain meds, but we will have a good time!
I got into an altercation with my boss today at work. He started my morning off by screaming at me at the top of his lungs for something he didnt even know the whole situation. So I called his boss and reported him! I am not taking anymore crap off of him!!! Something has to be done with him.
I need a vacation!
Michael and I are cracking down in the month of November with our spending habits. We have commited to not eating out lunch or dinner at all and not spending any $ that is not a must. It has been hard considering that we used to eat out everyday for lunch, but I know that we are going to save a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ !!!!!
Michael is going fishing tomorrow with some people from church. He is so excited. He loves, loves, loves to fish. I am glad we have made new friends at church that we can do stuff with! What a blessing.
This weekend will be low key. I am going to spend tomorrow sewing! I am on a sewing kick. I am working on Christmas stuff! You will just have to wait and see what it is next month!
That is all for now, just had to blog so the Nazi would get off my back! Just kidding, love ya sis!
