In January
Out of the blue Jeremy had surgery to remove a abscessed limp node

Than Heather started to have blurred vision problems she has since then had 2 MRI's and we find out the results of the second one tomorrow..its most likely a form of migraines

Than i backed into someone at church the other night..and Sunday Jeremy dropped his glasses and went to pick them up and stepped on them and of course broke them
and this is added to a very cranky prego women who is having a lot of scar tissue pain and the time seems to be going so SLOW for this pregnancy

I have been enjoying the warm weather the last several days but i know it will not last long...
I know I know LIFE HAPPENS... I need something fun for the next 7wks so it goes by fast......
so now aren't you Glad you stopped by...NOT...

My First Piano Performance

Farewell Dedication

Wouldn't you know it... its that time of year when I must bid farewell to all of the wonderful friends who have blessed my life. Thank you for being apart of my life.
Here are some poems that express how i feel..

I feel the time is getting close,
When we will have to part.
Ill show that I'll miss you,
With last words from my heart.
We must be dreaming,
For it has gone to fast.
The time we have spent together,
Will soon be in our past. By Rebecca L. Adkins

The hardest part of any friendship is when it is time to say goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. There is a secret that only real friends know and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate friends whose hearts are as one.

May you always have work for your hands to do.May your pockets hold always a coin or two.May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.May the hand of a friend always be near you.And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.~Irish Blessing
