LOL Don't get excited. It's not a new baby. No immaculate conception has taken place. I got a call today that I'm approved to start insulin pump therapy. I am SO excited. It's going to make my quality of life better. It's going to make my diabetes control tighter and help prolong life for me. It's going to make future pregnancies safer for me and for the baby. I won't forget shots. I won't have to prick my finger 6-8 times a day anymore. Instead, I'll have continuous monitoring and an alert to tell me if my sugar is going too high or too low. I was so thrilled when I found out that you would have thought I HAD found out I was pregnant. lol The biggest blessing is that our insurance covers the supplies and pump at 100%. Let me introduce you to my new baby...

(If you wonder if this letter is to you...it probably is.) Dear ___________________, I miss the talks we used to have. I know we didn't get to talk too often, but the times we did get the chance to were wonderful. I always felt like we were able to understand and encourage each other. I don't know if I was the one who moved or if it was you, and I don't know if I did something to push you away or make you want to leave, or if it was just life. I love you and think of you and your family often and I hope you are well and pray you are blessed. I hope that one day God allows that we find each other's friendship again. Until that day, I will continue to pray for you and love you like a sister.

For any who follow me on facebook, I'm sure you will remember a status update from me this last week regarding not knowing which career path to follow. At the risk of sounding conceited, I have a lot of talents that REALLY enjoy and and good at. There are also several things that I am passionate about. Taking these two things into account, I was REALLY having a difficult time deciding what path I wanted to pursue. The two that stood out most predominately were full time ministry and doctor of psychiatry. (Don't get me wrong. I fully believe that one must be called to full time ministry and that it should not just be a way to "make money". That is NOT a thought I take lightly.) I got to talking with my friend S.W. tonight and she mentioned something that should have been completely obvious to me. I'm entirely and completely happy being a stay-at-home-mom. I still "work" outside the home by way of doing volunteer work at the church. The work I d...

Jeff has remained in contact with a WONDERFUL supporter and friend of ours, Wally, who works for Total Axxess as the night DJ. I don't remember if I blogged about it or not, but Jeff and I both had the opportunity to guest DJ our personal top 5 Christian songs on Wally's program late last year and have kept in touch through phone and email since then. He's a bit crazy, but he's got a HUGE heart. I went out for a coffee date with a friend and her daughter earlier today, and on my way home I got a message from Jeff telling me I needed to check out Wally's website and take a look at what he had to stay about "OPERATION: H.E.R.O.S Helping Everyone Remember Our Soldiers" Nothing could have prepared me for what he posted there. It means so much to me to see his support of troops in general, but to do what he did for Jeff...for all of us...it brings tears to my eyes. I couldn't do it justice trying to put into words what he has started, so PLEASE check o...
