New Job

So.....I'm happy to announce that Doug will be starting a new job on January 14th. He will be working at Union Hospital in their Bio Medical Maintenance department. We are so excited. The hours are great (7am-330pm) and no more traveling away from home. This is the job that his dad retired from so many years ago, and the job Doug has wanted pretty much since we've been married. So, it's been a long time coming ...... God is so good !! Thanks to all of you who have been prayer warriors along side us for this request . Love you all so very much !!

Ok so....I've always loved the Drummer Boy Christmas song. I can remember one of my favorite movies at Christmas time to this day is "The Little Drummer Boy". You remember.....the claymation version. Well, when you're sons grow up to be drummers, it give this song a WHOLE NEW MEANING. I've found myself recently singing this song with my sons in mind and CRYING !! The words are so awesome !! God has blessed them with this incredible gift of music through drums and I'm so AMAZED everytime I watch them and listen to them playing their drumset here at home. I watched them last night offer their gifts up to their God and it ROCKED. I cried like a proud MAMA.....I'm allowed to do that. Ha, ha, ha. (they even asked before I watched if I was gonna cry.... I was like .... "of course, that's what I do". But, not only because I am a proud parent but because their hearts were giving their gifts back to the one who gave it to them, GOD !!

P.S. Our sons are on the drums that are lit with pink....and Doug is completely to the right on a 55 gallon drum.

Healing and a Merry Christmas

Ok so the healing process is coming along well. I'm out of my sling YEEEAAAHHHH!!!!! Some movements still send shock waves of pain but we'll work through that no problem !!

So here I sit thinking about all my friends and family that are away from OHIO....I miss you all so much. Wish you the best Christmas ever !! Love you all so very much !!!

Ouchies

So, if you haven't already heard I put my bike down 2 weeks ago, Nov 20th. Rain+loose gravel+left turn=disaster. Anyway, I fractured my right Scapula (right shoulder blade) and a few ribs. NOT FUN.....painful of course. But, I'm ok and am healing. My pride is a bit hurt but, that is healing to. Sometimes I think I'm physically invincible. Hopefully my bike will be fixed within the next 2 weeks. Not that I will ride in the COLD !!! But, hey maybe God will bring on a 60 degree, dry day again in the middle of January.....this is Ohio you know.....it could happen. So do the holidays have you all in a frantic pace as much as they do me?? Where did the summer go??? I love Christmas....the family times....the food....the FUN, FUN, FUN !!!! Oh yea and.....THE FOOD !!! I'm looking forward to the relaxing times that the holiday brings. It's just this frantic....running around like a chicken with it's head cut off that drives me nuts. (yes I've seen a chicken run around with it's head cut off.....it's not a pretty sight, especially if it's chasing your little brother around your grandma's back yard) Well, anyway I hope that your Christmas Holiday finds you all in good health and in good spirits. Love you all so much !!!
