Moving...

Okay so here we go....

Thank you to all our friends who are coming to help today! We should be headed out of Texas by Wednesday! Lots to do in the next few days and even more going on...

Please pray for my family as we tell my Grandfather goodbye from this earthly home as he goes to his heavenly one. My sister is coming home from Hawaii to help take care of him, she is an RN and so sweet and giving to come and do this. Pray for Daddy as he is going to miss his Daddy so much.

We have other things going on but they seem small compared to the other...

I will post more when we get moved for the summer class....

Love, E

Lots going on!

Oh my the kids are growing too fast!! They just got back from a weekend sailing trip with Stephen...I will post those photos as soon as I get my computer to cooperate!! I do know that other than a side trip to the ER for Dale cutting his head the trip was a success...even with a little girl going!! I stayed home and was going to pack BUT my eye gave me trouble again so I was in bed for a good part of the time...there went my plans to pack!! The drs finally figured out what was wrong with an MRI and I have "orbital myositis" evidently it is very painful and hard to diagnose!! REALLY!! Anyway steroids and a lot of pain meds I am on the road to feeling better! Now if we can get the AF to get our move scheduled and our dates to us we will be set!! We will be packed and moved in less than 2 weeks now!! Oh and we still have a house for sale!! YIKES!!

eye business...

So they have a diagnosis and it is orbital myositis...My Dr is calling around to see what treatment to seek...I am just looking forward to feeling better! This hurts!

Dale had an accident to day and earned a trip to the ER...he is doing OK but banged his head and cut himself pretty bad...

Oh and we move in 2 weeks and I have a ton to do and life seems to be falling apart in many areas....

Please pray for my grandfather...he has been in the hospital for over a week now...

Better

Thanks for the prayers! My eye is feeling so much better. I am still going to have the test done on Monday to see what is going on, it has minimal pain but is so much better!!

We are getting so close to the move and it feels like we are going in slow motion in the day and then BAM wake up and it is 10 days closer to leaving! We still have a house for sale...In HIS time right!

I am going to drink some coffee and listen to the rain!

Retrobulbar Neuritis

My eye hurts...BAD! I have headaches and it is only in my right eye and hurts to above my eye brow...other symptoms but I won't bore you with them! It has been hurting for a week or so. The eye Dr thought it could be allergies and sent me home with a RX for that and to call if it kept hurting because it could be autoimmune of some sort. Well it started hurting again and I called and went to one Dr then another...a specialized eye Dr...then to my regular Dr. I am going to have an MRI done on Monday, if not sooner. I wish I had not looked up what this could be...I am going with sinus infection! Please pray with me that it is a simple fix!http://www.ecureme.com/emyhealth/data/Retrobulbar_Neuritis.asp

YUCK

Well all potential buyers are not "potential" after all...now we are back to square one. WAITING on the buyer...waiting on God...remembering that HE is in control of this all! Thankful we even have to opportunity to own a home keeps things in perspective! I am going to start packing some things this weekend. The kids and Stephen are going sailing. (Pray for their safety and fun) I am making a lot of lists! I am marking some things off them, makes me feel accomplished...now if I can just mark off the "house sold" that would be GREAT!

She is FOUR!!

So here is the girl's birthday! We start every birthday with donuts and singing! She had a big pink princess cake...lots of pink and a whole lot of fun! She conked out midway and I HAD to take this photo of her clutching her jewelery box! We are privileged to be her parents, she brings us a lot of joy and makes me want to be a better person...she is just so wonderful...

We are BUSY...as in I know everyone is but "hey we move in 3 weeks and the packers will be here in 2 weeks busy"...Wow that one snuck up on us huh? I am overwhelmed with all that there is to do and feel pressure to be what everyone wants/needs...BUT I am going to be what God needs...and Stephen and the kids need...I am going to be...

The gluten free is going great! I am feeling better and am loosing weight! That is a bonus I will take!!

I better go and make me a list!!

Celiac...Going Gluten Free

So big changes here...again!

When I had my gall bladder out the dr was optimistic that it would help the problems I have been having with my health. He was somewhat concerned that b/c I tested positive for Celiac disease gene I would need to go gluten free. Yesterday when I went to the dr he put me on a gluten free, or GF, diet. It is not just "cutting down" on the gluten it is NO GLUTEN at all! It is a pain in the ... but if I feel better it will be worth it, right?

Anyway I am off to do some research...it is overwhelming as gluten is in a lot of foods, additives, seasoning, drinks...it is everywhere...even in make up!

On another note...Merideth started doing some school today. She did great and had fun with it! Let's see how long the "fun" lasts!!

Now on to the research!
