Day 239: Survived Surgery

Most of you know by now, but I had sinus surgery a week or so ago. It was rough..a lot worse than I thought it would be. I didn't think I'd ever get better, but I'm back to my old self now.


Mark took very good care of me. I kept saying I was testing out that 'in sickness and health' part. Well he passed with flying colors. I wouldn't have made it through with him!


It was hard for Mom not to come up here and take care of me. Her little bebe is all grown up now :) It was such a surprise to get these beautiful flowers from her! It really cheered me up when I was having such a rough time.

When I came back into work..look what I found! A sweet card, my favorite candy and a gift card to Hobby Lobby! My coworkers know me all too well :)

Still not 100% healed, but I'm getting there...

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

Day 225: Day on the Lake

We drove over to Smith lake yesterday for some family fun in the sun. Mark's dad and stepmom had the camper, Jana and Jarrett had the boat. It was a great day!

We had lots of fun with our niece and nephew, Morgan and Caleb.

I gave Morgan a marshmello, which turned into a huge sticky mess...but she seemed to like it :)

Mr. James on the grill...We had an awesome lunch! They always cook so much goodness and I can never pick just a few things. I have to have a bit of it all. Diane even made homemade macaroni....they were camping! I was very impressed.

We did a bit of tubing, kneeboarding and skiing.

And a good bit of swimming....

Mark and Jarrett even cliff dived,
which made all the girls super nervous

And we had fun just cruising on the boat....

I've been regretting not writing our names in the sand in Jamaica on the honeymoon, so I tried to create it in Alabama dirt. That's pretty much the same, right? :)


Thanks for a great day everybody!
