So what's up?

Okay Just a few little updates. Yes it has snowed and alot! I took Oak outside to play in it for the first time and she loved it. She would walk a couple steps and bend down to look at the powdery white stuff then walk a bit more and turn and look at me and grin then fall on her butt. She looked like the Christmas Story kid with her huge coat on that she can't move in. She was so fun and I love her so much. She has also began to talk a little bit. She says "Hi" to everyone and everything. She knows sounds for elephant, bear, dog, cat, rooster, sheep, cow, boat, car, and she is just learning the lips and pucker sound for a fish(at least the sound that mommy thinks they make). She loves books and songs and her baby. She is a total cuddle bug and I don't mind that one bit. She has also started saying "Da Da a you?" ( Daddy where are you?) She dances and claps all the time. For anyone who has seen the movie THE JERK, her and I dance about as well as Steve Martin finding his rythm. Ha Ha but if she wants to dance then by golly I won't hold her back. Aaron's job is going great as is his schooling. He got straight A's this semester and he is greatly anticipating the rest of school to be over(actually we all are but what can ya do) I should be starting classes in January. I just have one more interview to get through then I am set. We are still running and training for Ragnar, just slowly. Between being sick, having work and school, a baby and traveling we try and sneak in to the gym 3-4 times a week if we are lucky. I wish I could go more but we will work on it. All of my clothes are to big and my so-called skinny jeans are now loose jeans which is kinda cool but I really love my clothes and now they don't fit as well as they did. Oh well shopping here I come. ha ha So that is what is up with us just so you all know we didn't drop off the planet. Some pics hopefully soon to come.

Difficulties Still Loom

First I just need to apologize for once again using this thing as a journal but I have so many thoughts right now and I feel like someone is listening. Life is so funny. You think that you are super human and invincible and then The Great Man Upstairs decides to bring you back to earth. My dear cousin, I just found out, is suffering from the same liver problems that I suffer from. My whole heart and faith are with him and his family right now. I haven't been sick in a little while and because I have recently been blessed with good health, I have felt invincible. Clearly with life no one is invincible. I have been brought back to the reality and reminded that I am not perfect nor is my health and because of this the Lord can take me at any time. I emphasize His time, not mine. My amazing mom reminded me that all we can do is live like we need to right now and it is what it is. So now, once again after a great reminder, Live it! My health is what it is and no amount of tears and worries will fix that. I have been a great wife, mother, daughter, friend, sister. I am truly happy. I know my Father and Brother live and I have complete faith in their plan. I love my family and my prayers are with my cousin and his family. God Be With You and the doctors treating you.
