Appointments & Such
Well Mike went to the Doc's today and he has to go and get blood work done every month until...well I don't know when. The doc wants to keep an eye on things and if it is still looking low, he will be referred to an internal specialist who will test his bone marrow. That is all the news I have in that area for now. I am glad they aren't just going to pump him full of drugs. The doc told him also that he can live with the platelets where they are but it would be good to know what is causing this we think so too! Anyhow that is the news on that. I will know more later I am sure. As for me I have a praise report...I needed to get in to see the dentist for a check up (for college stuff) and originally I was supposed to go in sometime in JULY! I was able to get in TODAY! Everything checked out great! No cavities!!! YAY! So that is that news. Most important news...Please, please, PLEASE pray for my best friends Jeff and Shannon. As some of you know they are struggling with infertility and we thought that this month she was pregnant and I got the news today that she is not. I feel so devastated for them so I cannot even begin to imagine how they must feel. She sounds like she is putting her best foot forward and talking about God's timing being perfect so that is good. However it has GOT to be tough. :( Please stick them at the top of your prayer list for a while. I don't know how hard it would be but being a Mom myself and knowing how much I love my daughter, I couldn't imagine not having her in my life. I just want them to have the same thing. I know they will someday, it is just hard watching them go through this. Also it kills me to see so many people getting pregnant and NOT wanting to be...I KNOW that these two would be beyond wonderful parents. It is just hard. Kinda' makes me angry and sad. :( So yah, please pray...Pray for peace, healing, patience, comfort, love and joy as well. Thanks everyone for listening to me. 'Til next time...
Rip Off.
Ok so I have to admit that I stole this from my friends blog because I thought it was too beautiful not to share with you. So enjoy it and really take the time to digest it all. Many truths are written here. I will most likely be writing later about Mikes doc appt. Until then, enjoy! Oh, and I love you.
A wonderful Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend
more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses
and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more
degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more
experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years
to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We
conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the
atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan
more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We
build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days
of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality,
one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology
can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to
share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is
the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there again.
Give time to love , give time to speak! And give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.

Mini Update
Well, I have still been wuite busy. The school work seems to be going a bit more smoothly but I am finding that I enjoy working during the day while Meg is sleeping. It kinda sucks tho cause then I don't feel like doing the other things that need to be done around the house. It is a good thing that Mike is so understanding. Meg and I went for 2 walks today. Uncle BJ took us out for lunch today so we walked to the Mall. Then after Mike got home we decided to go for another lil walk. It was refreshing.
We went to the shrink again and he told us that he is going to write a "highly favorable report". So that is great news. The weekend in itself was awesome. Things seemed to just work out perfectly in regards to timing. Thanks to Bill & Renee we had a place to stay and the weekend went really smooth.
Mike goes to the doctors On Wendsday (providing they don't cancel again). I will have more for you then. Bye for now.

Sorry
Alright, so I know that I have not posted in awhile and for that I apologize. Just a heads up it may be like this for a bit until I feel like I am far enough along in my studies to do so. I do want to share something neat that happened to me the other day. I was driving out of my cul de sac and my neighbor was driving in and we ended up stopping in the middle of the road to chat. Long story short, she is going through some REALLY tough things right now and I was able to minister to her and pray with her. That is what life is all about, ministering to the hurting people. Anyhow, she called me today just to thank me for praying for her and I was able to share some of my testimony with her. It was such a great experience. If you think of her please pray for her. Also pray that I will have more opportunities to share God with her. There is nothing more exhilarating then being able to share God's loving grace with the hurting world.
Also, My best friend needs you all to pray for her. As I have shared before our best friends have been trying to conceive for a few years now. We are praying that this is the month that it happens. Pray for them both to stay healthy and that they are able to begin the journey of parenthood this month. Those of us who are parents already, just think about what life would be like without our kids. Now pray for them. All she has wanted to be her whole life is a Mom. I believe that God knows her heart and I pray that His timing is now. Also our family is travelling to Edmonton again tomorrow to see the shrink again on Saturday so you can pray for us in that area. Thanks everyone. I will try and post when we get back. Have a great weekend.

My Funny Day
I forgot to tell you guys about something funny that happened to me yesterday. In the mornings I go down and fix everyone's breakfast and then Mike brings down Megan and I breastfeed her while Mike is getting ready for the day. Well yesterday, Meg and I were waiting and waiting for Mike to come down and eat breakfast and I was rushing him because the time was ticking away. I was watching the clock and getting concerned that he was taking so long. Mike carpools with a co worker and I was afraid he was going to miss his ride because he was taking so long. So you can imagine my surprise when he comes to the table wearing his uniform! I said "Why are you in your uniform?" Then it hit me...It's Sunday not Monday!!!! A smile flashed across my face as well as a blush because I was thinking "How dumb is he going to feel?" LOL! It was the weirdest feeling ever! I was all prepared for Monday and was pleasantly surprised to realize that it was Sunday! SO it turned out well! Have any of you ever had an experience like that? I would love to hear about it so leave a comment!
