November 2011

So much has happened.
I am going to have a new baby Lenz in the family Baby Wyatt
We are all very excited about his arrival on December 14th
Justin and Tori Hamm went to prom together 11 years ago they are making lots of adjustments getting ready for their baby
Sasha will be the godmother and Tori's brother Andrew the godfather
I have met Rita Wigington and really like her.  I wish she lived closer we would be fast friends
Another baby will be here soon Pam and Chris will be new parents with the arrival of their baby boy Durham.  Sweet baby kisses everywhere.

I went to see Marlene for fall break.  It was a much needed regroup time for me.  I went alone and we truly had a wonderful time.  We rode bikes and relaxed.  She made me healthy oatmeal every am.  I love my dear friend.  We dream of one day living together again.  We would have so much fun doing crafts and hanging out.  We baked a pie together and she gave me a pampered chef apple slicer.  I am kind of loving baking apple pies.

Bobby is having surgery on Monday.  He is pretty quiet about the procedure so Ra will take him there in the am and get the scoop from the doctor.  She is my girl who gets it done for me.  Such a help to us both.

I am the proud owner of a MAC.  I am currently driving to Perimeter to learn how to use it.  I feel kind of dumb cause i wanted to add some photos earlier to the blog but still don't know how.  Patience grasshopper

Sasha recently got a job closer to her home.  i am so glad to not have her on the highway driving an hour each way.  She is such a great girl.  i miss spending time with her but she is so busy with work and school when i do see her it is always a joy.

i am currently on day 3 of not eating candy.  i love sweets and went overboard at Halloween.  Such a happy holiday for me first of all there is a lot of orange decorating and well i love the color.  It is a fun holiday also.  We went Trick or Treating with Jackson.  He is just so much fun and makes every moment a celebration.

So i have been getting back to my routine of working out.  I rode my bike tonight and went 13 miles.  It was cool outside and kind of  windy at times.  But i did it and the leaves were spectacular.  i am going to commit to going to the gym more and eating less.  I currently want to loose 10 pounds.  Not a lot and am sure that i can do it.

Well Random thoughts for now......

Bobby's Surgery

He has had several kidney stones in the past.  They are very painful and i know that he was not looking forward to this procedure.  During his last physical they found some blood in his urine.  So upon further tests they found what they thought was a very large kidney stone.  Dr. Futral said that it could be compared to a very large olive.  He anticipated up to a 6 hour surgery to go in dissect it and painfully remove and get all of the little particles.  He was very surprised to find over 100 little stones and was able to remove all of them that had packed themselves in to a finger of his kidney.  He said Bobby would be very sore and would need to stay down for a week with the tube that is still in his kidney.  I was so thankful and relieved that this was the case.  I sure do love that man and am sad he will have to recover from this painful procedure.  But hopefully he will on the the road to full health in a week.  So thankful for the power of prayer.  And for this doctor !!! It took him a full week to recover.  i am very hopeful that water will become his best friend and the memory of this will never leave him.  Let's get committed to health.  Xo

Greeley Fall Break 2011

It is so wonderful to be here and spend this time with Marlene. Going to someone's house let's you see what they are up to. There is a trail near her house we started our day being outside the weather is perfect. Shorts are in order for sure. A river runs along the trail we borrowed a bike from her neighbor Shanda and will ride the 10 miles to the next little town.

 Tomorrow. Since I am up early I have time to blog. We enjoyed a relaxing day yesterday I ran 3 and we walked 5 miles along the trail. Had my first taste of Mexican for dinner.  We even enjoyed a day trip to The Continental Divide.  The weather was fabulous and we seen this Elk up close and personal.  Spent a day with Kathy Ferris who took us back to the mountain we went to Black Hawk and watched her gamble.  Had a delightful dinner Patty Loza joined us for dinner.  All to soon it was time to say good by until the next time which i am hopeful will be 2012!
