I have no witty title..

I always enter into blogging "bursts" with the best of intentions to keep them going and going strong.  To document our little lives with all the energy I have.  Well...  I either am lacking in the energy department or we're super boring.

Jeff has been in Wisconsin since last Thursday and flies home late tomorrow night.  It's taken six months, but his transfer should be underway now.  The last of his equipment is turned in and so really all that we lack is the official word.  He wound up having to go to drill while he was there, so he didn't get to spend as much time with his family as he would have liked, but we were grateful to God for providing for the trip so he could go and get things squared away.  He starts his fall semester of college in a little under a week and seems to still be enjoying school.  He's considering changing majors, but we won't announce anything about that until it's more definite.

I have been signed on with Beary Unique Gifts to sell as a crafter in their store and will start selling with them on September 1st.  It's a lot of work, but I'm really excited and glad I'll be contributing to the family income somewhat.  I also am working on getting a store on etsy.com up and running so that I can more easily sell to friends and family out of state.  MOPS starts back up in about three weeks so I am starting to get everything ready and lined up for that and am hoping for God to open great doors for that ministry.

Kamden is going and blowing same as always.  He's over 3 feet now and talking like he came out doing it.  Believe it or not he's started reading some (not just memorizing - actually reading) and is obsessed with music. 

There's more to share, but the time is not right.  Just keep the three of us in your prayers if you read this blog...and keep posted for more updates.

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
