At what point do you let a cold/sinus infection type mess send you to the doctor?  We are going on a full week here & I still feel just as bad as I did last Sunday.  I've rested more then I thought possible, I've taken every over the counter med possible, I've hydrated myself as much as possible.  I am getting sad & frustrated about being sick.

 

Yesterday was our Church's 2nd annual Wild Game Dinner.  Turn out was great, food was GREAT.  My Dad was in charge of getting the food and deciding who would cook what.  Hats off to my Dad!  He did have one of the ladies in the Church help him (cause she's usually in charge of dinner type things so she has the experience).  Dad was nervous, stressed, and excited about the event.  Its the first real leadership roll he has taken on at this Church.  I am SO glad, for him, and our Church that the event went well.

 

I am especially glad it went well for my Dad, he needed the boost this week.  He applied for a job (within his company) that he thought he was a shoe-in for.  He didn't get the job and was extremely upset, and doubting himself in everything.

 

I think I mentioned here, that I'm most likely going to NC next weekend to meet my new nephew.  Well, could be a few days earlier.  I have to get a dress fitting appt and a doctor appt rescheduled and we will be leaving on Wednesday, so we will still be home for Easter.  I am just SO excited to meet Squishy.

 

God is good, all the time.  All the time, God is good.

• I'm sick.  Sore burning throat, can't swallow, ears hurt, nose is stuffy and runny, eyes are watery, very weak, very tired and I'm sick to my stomach.  I'm sure I'll be fine in a few days, but right now it sucks.  I missed out on a mini-vacation due to this illness.  Ugh.  Double UGH!
• My fiance is currently out of the country (Yes, CANADA is a different country) on previously mentioned mini-vacation, but its work related.  It sucks.  I am home sick.  He can't even text/call me.  I don't like knowing I can't talk to him.
• ST, yes ST of years gone by, ST my ex-fiance, is getting married (I think I mentioned that awhile ago)  I find is cool, yet odd that he is getting married the day of my wedding shower (and I'll be married 2 weeks and 6 days later).
• There is a very good chance I will get to see my new nephew, Squishy, in a week and a half.  At first, it was going to be hopefully August when I met him, then that changed to hopefully May (there is still a chance he along with his parents will make it to my wedding) but as of yesterday it turned into hopefully next Friday!  It will be a VERY short visit, but a visit none the less. 
  
• I met the new neighbors today.  They seem really cool.  It sucks that I'm moving soon, just when we get cool young neighbors.  (Don't freak, just moving to Fiance's a week or so before the wedding, my parents are staying put)

God is love.

I am getting married in less than 8 weeks!  I am excited to start the next chapter in my life.  I got to meet my fiance's step-mom yesterday (his only living parent).  I was so nervous, but it went well.  Everything wedding is coming together.  I remember getting frustrated with Roomie over her place cards for her reception.  Well, I am starting to drive myself nuts about invitations for our backyard open house reception.  Invites are just so stupidly expensive and I don't have a good enough printer to do my own. 

 

My new nephew Squishy is so darn cute.  Its driving me crazy to not be near him.  Mom is down there and between Mom & Jo, I get a cell phone picture daily.  I just want to cuddle with my Squishy! 

 

God is love!

overtired

Obviously I am overtired lately...I posted basically the same thing twice about my new Squishy nephew. I had no recall of posting one last night. LOL. Overtired with lots on my mind.

God is love.

Squishy Baby

Happier news to report...

I am an Aunt x4 now. Jo gave birth a tad early to baby on March 13. He will be known as Squishy. He was 19 1/4 inches long, and weighed 5lbs 14oz. Jo is doing great. Squishy has a few issues, but nothing major. Jo went home this morning, Squishy will be there for a few more days.

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!

I love relationship fights when you think things are roses.  Ugh.  This to shall pass.  I'll post something more exciting in a little bit.

God is love.

Squishy Nephew

I'm an Aunt...have been for nearly 15 years.

WELL...I am now an Aunt for the fourth time!

My little sister Jo, gave birth Saturday at 2:37pm. Pretty quick labor for her first one. She got to the hospital at 8am. Jo did great and is doing well. Her blood pressure is still high, so they are concerned but not overly. She is tired and needs real sleep!

Squishy (the baby...thats my nickname for him) came a few weeks early, as a surprise and a blessing at the same time. He weighed 5lbs 14oz and is 19 1/4 inches long. He is doing well just can't maintain his tempature.

My Parents found out at about 8:30am that Jo was really in labor and baby would be born shortly....so they hit the road about noon. Got down there (North Carolina) about 2pm.

I don't know when I will get to see Squishy but I pray its soon!

God is love!
