Thank you. you know who you are. 

Weekend

Hey ya'all.

How did my weekend end already....i wish weekends were 5 days and week days were 2- that makes more sense.

We were gonna have a family night here on Friday night but instead came home and i made spicy pasta ( big mistake- more in a min) we hung out and had a fun family night being home alone with nothing to do, no where to go, it was fun.
Around 11 pm- i started having major pain down there... it is normal for me to have bladder pain especially after eating spicy food because i have Interstitial cystitis and normally it goes away within 30-45 mins, i have a pill i can take if it gets to unbearable, well Friday night i had to take 2 of these and no relief, around 1:30 pm i told Andrew i was heading to the ER because it was unbearable, i was crying in pain and nothing was helping it...
got to ER by 1:45 and they took me back to triage and started doing blood pressure, temp, etc..they look at me and asked how long i was in pain i told them, they said my blood pressure was at a very scary rate and i needed to be take back to get it down to normal...took me back to a room and got me relaxed enough to get my bp down...the pain was getting worst and worst..they gave me a shot in the bum of Demerol and gravel- nothing changed, pain was so bad, i was sending my bp back up again, they finally got me a shot of morphine and i went to sleep, when i woke up the pain was gone and they told me i could go home, they also gave me a prescription for new medication, i was home around 7 am, slept til after 1 pm- all that medication will make ya sleep and sleep.

Saturday i was groggy most of the day - i did manage to go grocery shopping around 4 pm and then i made nachos and wings for dinner, i was falling asleep again by 9:30, hubby made me go to bed and rest....i finally feel more normal today though. 

Sunday: my first Sunday as a Sunday school teacher and we never had the full hour like normally because we had a baptism today, our pastors daughter got baptised, was so good to see her have her sins washed away and be ready for heaven, we thought maybe Brooke was gonna too but she wasn't ready she said- when she is ready she will, not gonna force her or do it just because.
We went out for lunch with a friend from church, i had very little because i am scared of more pain happening again, but i realized something, i got prayed over in church this morning and i have had no pain since then, Praise God!
Service tonight was cancelled because we are in the middle of a major, snow blizzard, check out these pic 

but no snow day for me tomorrow I'm sure, my work rarely closes ever, tomorrow i have an assistant starting, I'm excited for some help with the front counter, it can get busy and over bearing at times. 

Well that does it for me, im off to bed because morning comes early. Night and I love you ladies so much, you mean the world to me, Rhonda says thanks for the prayers for her as she laid her baby girl to rest, keep her in your prayers she isn't doing well at all 

RIP Everlee

My heart is heavy and i feel torn in shreds and i ask WHY
Why do 2 people that would make awesome parents have to go thru this...
Why would she have to lay her princess to rest before she even got to see her pretty blue eyes...

Life is so unfair.
Yesterday a friend of mine Rhonda who has been trying for 5 years to get pregnant- was delivering her precious baby girl EverLee Rose ( such a sweet name), well Baby Everlee was already sleeping when she was delivered...

Why do they have to go thru this, WHY, WHY, WHY?

I am not sure when i will have the strength to blog again, my heart is just so broken. They will no longer be able to look at her physically after tomorrow... i just wish i could be there with her tomorrow, we have talked, sent text, but it isnt the same as a real life hug, I really feel shattered.

Dear Everlee,

I have never gotten the chance to see your beautiful face in real life but my love is no less, you were loved by thousands of people, you are our angel now, you are looking down from the arms of Jesus and telling us to not cry for you because you are happy and you are an angel.
I love you always and forever my sunshine Baby. xox

Dear Rhonda,
Words fail me, there are no words to describe the pain i feel for you,  i feel so shattered, i wish i could hug you, wrap my arms around you, let you cry in my arms, let your tears fall on me, because that's what friends do, they care for each other.
I am here for you anytime of the day or night, tomorrow will not be a easy day for you, but feel loved and surrounded by friends and family who love you both. My heart is there with you.
xox T

My favorite Valentine's Yet...

This day 10 years ago we "officially" got engaged- I remember going into my bedroom that morning after getting ready for work ( we lived together, just didn't sleep together til marriage ) he was acting nervous( wasn't sure why)- he then gave me my ring and we made it official, even though he popped the question a month prior to that. He then asked me for my ring finger and placed my ring on my finger. I was so excited all day.

Went and showed my parents( my parents didn't think pple should wear jewellery( another post for another day) my dad wasn't impressed but oh well. My mom loved it and went into full fledge wedding planning mode.

I love you Andrew always and forever, my Valentine

I fall more in love with him every day- he makes my life so full of excitement and love.
Here is my roses for this Valentines day

I'm the luckiest woman in the world, I have two Valentines, one calls me mommy and the other calls me hunny. :) Happy Valentines Day Everyone!
