So this year is really moving! Right now am working on my son's birthday party. He wants a pirate theme so I have the invites done (Thanks Mom!), cupakes started for school, made chocolate suckers for the party and chocolate pirate markers for cupcakes, ordered a Pirate themed wall, filled gift bags and have been given detailed instructions on how to make the cake! So now I have plans for how that will work-- wish me luck that it turns out the way he wants it!!!
I am still staying on track with my Reading the Bible in 90 days, I have a hard time on the weekends but play catch up during the week. I am finding out interesting things and for sure will have to try this again in the future and actually use the guide that I bought to really focus on the reading. I believe that now that I have gotten out of the family tree section of the bible it will go eaiser-- I am into the Psalms and enjoying it much more!
I read "Eat, Pray, Love" and really enjoyed it, so I bought the movie and am very glad I read the book first or I don't think I would have know what was going on in the movie. But I did enjoy them both!!! I am looking forward to the summer movies-- especially the Thor and Captain America!
So I am trying a little more with blogging-- so check out the upcoming pages!
Have a great rest of the month!

So I have been on a strange kick lately...
I am presently reading "Eat, Pray, Love" and enjoying it and I have joined an online group to read the Bible in 90 days and so far am on day 9. Finding it hard to get thru the start of the Old Testament, but plugging along. I think my incident has tested me to take a look at myself, my faith and my wants. I have lots of goals for this year and am hoping against hope that I can complete them!
Oh, anyone reading this-- can you tell me how to get more pictures to add-- apparently it won't let me and I don't truly want to delete any. So any ideas or clue ... let me know!

2010 Year in Review
What a crazy year! I am only hoping/praying that 2011 is a little less hectic and more rewarding! My goal for the new year is to start a "Read the Bible in 90 days". I want to travel more and have a lot less stress at work. I am very grateful for friends and family and all the support that I had after my surgery, very grateful that the tumor/mass was non-cancerous and that the Doctor and nurses were awesome. Makes me glad for the profession I chose many years ago.
Happy New Year Everyone!
Happy New Year Everyone!

Ok Ok!! I have been bad and not posted in a while but I do have a reason!
So apparently it has been a month or so since I have posted so bear with me and I will try to provide updates.
Aug 14, I was working and had lots of abd pain and went to ER while I was at work and hoped if it was anything it was appendicitis but after a CT of abd, and a consult to a general surgeon. I had a mass in my upper abdomen attached to my pancreas. So lots of stress and Dr visits with a trauma surgeon, hematologist and such. I was scheduled for surgery on Sept 14th. Spent lots of time trying to get everything that I could think of done before surgery, not so successful if I do happen to say so, but we made it.
Sept 14th, went in for surgery at 1:30 and came out into the ICU at about 7pm. Very long surgery. Thank God for the ICU staff and my surgeon. I was graced with lots of good people and people that I knew to take care of me and make me feel safe.
Sept 16th, apparently that evening after brushing my teeth, I coded and was thankfully brought back. What an evening, very stressful for my husband and son, and the ICU staff and my Dr who were there with me. Thank God!
Well after 5 days in ICU, I was transferred to the surgical floor and spent 5 days there and was finally able to go home.. My mom was here to help take care of Gavin and me for about 3 weeks which I am very greatful for her help. I had lots of wonderful friends and visitors while in the hospital. Thank you everyone!
October 25 I am still recuperating at home, with the help of my son who is fantastic with everything! I had help in decorating for halloween -- our favorite holiday! So I believe I am caught up there, Gavin has his costume and I have candy for trick or treaters! Next Dr visit is Nov 9th and I should get the ok to go back to work if I am lucky! I miss my work friends!
