Peace for a while

Ha Ha...what a picture. But, seriously, we had such a nice time with Stephen this weekend. He turned 24 last Thursday so we went Saturday to visit him. Gave him a GPS but I bet he puts that up for sale...didn't seem all that interested in it. We visited Tybee with him..that was beautiful. Got back last night and I have to admit it was a nice break from work and church. We went to church with him but it was nice to be anonymous.
I'm feeling well except a TB cough. John's having some of his usual problems. Erin is 15 weeks pregnant now and feeling okay. They got a 2005 Honda Pilot today...I'm proud for them! Mom and Dad are in Charleston on a little break.
All seems to be calm at least personally. Out and about there are gas shortages, long lines, panic-buying, financial crisis in the country, and the possibility of getting someone named Obama as our president. Ugh.
Fall is here and it's beautiful...leaves are beginning to turn. So I'll just concentrate on God's beauty during all this hoo-ra. I love You, Lord. Thanks for the mountains and the valleys.

Relief!

Today I feel almost normal. Amazing because it's been so long since I've felt well. Thank You, Lord! I am still experiencing nerve pain throughout my face and sore gums but it comes and goes. Poco a poco.
Evan has his GED now. Another big praise and a relief to his folks!
Erin has gained one pound and is 13 weeks pregnant. Heartrate of Jake or Maddy is 150bpm. That's good.
Mom turned 71 yesterday...we will celebrate tomorrow at Longhorn and also maybe celebrate Evan's accomplishment.
John's not been too well this week but hopefully that will be resolved soon.
Life is never dull and I do NOT take for granted feeling well and having little and big blessings both! Again, thank You, Lord! I love YOU.

Hopefully Moving On

Ended up going to the endodontist and finished up root canal "therapy" today. Ow! Ow! Ow! The procedure itself is not painful after the 6 shots I got...just the aftermath. My whole face hurt, headache, gums, etc. Horrible. I'm feeling a little more human tonight after taking 9 Advil since 10:30 this morning.
Better news...Dad did great in the heart cath situation. No problems whatsoever. All is well, thank the Lord.
Stephen got the Applebee's job...waiting to talk to him.
Erin is now 12 weeks. Going to the doc next week.
I pray next week is a normal productive week for me with no leaving to go to a dentist or doctor.
Lord, I know you work all things together for my good.
