So I've been yelled at...

For not blogging. YAY someone reads my blog!!!

Sorry faithful readers, it has been bananas here. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! (Dish girls, that was for u!) I have tons of photos and lots to catch you up on, but alas, the pics are not downloaded, and the info is a jumble in my brain!! But its been good!!

We've definitely come into season at work...There is no mistaking it! Oh my its busy! But busy is good, busy means business!! All tho there have been a few nurses and patients I've wanted to strangle! We had a very blessed Christmas! God has been so good to us as always! We spent the first couple of hours with my mom and dad, then spent the rest of the morning with Matt's folks, then took the trek to Miami where we spent the afternoon and evening. I went to visit my Grandmother (my last living GRAND) with Matt at the ALF she resides in. She has Alzheimer's disease and requires constant care. Normally she is very too herself and distant. She is no longer the Mema I once new. But God was good this visit! She was smiling, trying to talk, holding my hand and kissing it, kissing me, blowing kisses to Matt. She kept patting Matt on the arm and even posed for a picture smiling (well smiling for her!) It was wonderful and a wonderful visit! I love leaving on that up note because you just never know with her how things will go. I left praising God for that smile and those kisses. Who knows what next time will bring, so I rejoice in today.

We then went to my aunt and uncle's where the whole fam damily joined in!! We feasted and did our gift exchange! My amazingly talented cuz hand beaded me a purse with butterflies. Its so amazing! Pictures to come! Promise!!

It was a wonderful blessed Christmas. But above all, God leaves me in shear amazement at the wonder of His amazing gift He gave to us!! He gave us His son, stripped down to an innocent, helpless baby who would grow into a man that would save us. Can you imagine, or fathom the awesomeness of sacrifice that was given to us? I praise God every day for it, for Jesus. They sang a song at service for Christmas Eve. A Baby Changes Everything. Who knew on that night so long ago, that this little baby would be changing everything. I pray you remember that as we finish this holiday season!!!

Love to all of you!! Merry Christmas!! Be blessed in our Lord!

Just a couple fotos...

I wanted to show you our tree and some pictures of Lily being silly!! Hey that rhymed! Things are well, just busy!!! Getting ready for the holiday season and catching up at work! I'm feeling much better but the jury is still out on fault for my accident. They really make you hurry up and WAIT! SIGH...So here we go, wait wait wait. Seems to be a theme in my life! LOL

Alright, photos! Have a blessed day in the Lord!

Pictures from Thanksgiving

Sorry it took so very long!! My gracious its been a crazy week! It took over 15 hours to get home on Sunday on what should have been an 11 hour drive...OIY. Traffic was nuts. Then work on Monday was a tad crazy too! (No boss tho, he is on vacation!!!) On Tuesday, I was in a minor accident in my PARKING LOT AT HOME!!! My neighbor backed into me and squashed my new car's bumper!! SAD SAD DAY!! I also hurt my back. I had seen him coming so I tensed and must have been turned just right to tweak my back. So It was a day full of insurance claims, police case numbers, adjusters, doctors and annoyance. My car is reparable, but they haven't decided the amount of fault yet. Gotta love Florida's NO FAULT rule!! Then on Thursday, JUST when my chiropracter got me feeling better, our office chair broke when I flailed back after hubby tickled my foot, and I fell flat to the ground on my back, shoulder, hip and side. I'm a lovely assortment of colors, from the deep blacks and purples, to the beautiful hues of blue. OIY. I've seen my chiropractor more in the last week then I have in a YEAR!!!

So needless to say, here I am now, posting some pictures for you! I won't do to many, just some of my silly family!!! I really enjoyed my time in NC, missed my hubby tho! Overall it was a wonderful reunion and family gathering!!! We are truly blessed with how God has brought such peace in such a turmoil time!!! So without furthur ado...Here are some pics from Thanksgiving, and oh a little of other stuff!!

This was the full moon the other night, it was just gorgeous! Pics do NOT do it justice!!!
