TRYING TO GET TO SUMMER


TRYING TO GET TO SUMMER
Wow! Its been a long time since my last blog entry. So much has happened since last year!In October I started a part-time job at JC Penney's and I absolutely love it! We've had a long hard winter beginning with back to back family deaths including my Aunt Jolene, Cousin Lary, Chris' Uncle and our cat Miss Meow, a freak emergency room visit for me in January and what seems an endless cold winter. All together it has been a difficult process but it has made us stronger.My emergency room visit helped lead me to a wonderful therapist who specializes in panic attacks; something I have been suffering with for many years now. After 6 months of therapy I put my whole heart into, I am finally on the road to recovery! Chris and I began fertility treatments once more in January as well. So far no luck, but we have faith that it will happen when the time is right. Also in January, Katie made a reappearance back into or lives. We missed her so much and have been worried sick about this this sweet girl that we have gotten to know over the past several years.Katie's situation at home took another turn for the worse in April and she was pulled out of the home into foster care. Currently we are seeking to have her come stay in our home until her family becomes stable again. Things don't look good for Katie's family right now and she may be with us permanently in the future. For now, we stressfully await her and the courts final decision. Its been the longest wait, but we've been apart much longer before so we are hanging on to our hope and faith that all will work out as it should. Please keep Katie in your prayers.

I wanted to post a few pictures taken over the past year, and decided to include Katie too since she is someone close to our hearts right now. The younger pic of Savannah was taken last September for family pictures and the older ones are mainly from Easter and early May this year. The pic of Katie and Savannah is from her January visit and her seperate pic was taken during Katie's trip to Michigan last summer.
