Here is a Question for you!
Do you ever had days where you are just happy? Just really happy! I am in a happy mood and I am tired. You see I only got 4 hours of sleep which usually makes me sleepy and grumpy, but not today.
I am blessed
I am happy
I am loved
Lucy makes me smile. Somtimes we wonder why she is a bit crazy, but she does make me smile.
I look forward to my dates with my hubby.
I enjoy just watching tv with my hubby.
I love talking about the future, going to China, hanging out with friends, and other vacations.
I love sunny, cold days.
I love it when my Michael puts really cool cds in the cd player for me to sleep to.
I love the fact that even if I dont see my friends for months, they still love me and treasure our friendship.
My nieces and nephews make me smile.
So I ask you, what makes you smile?

Its Monday morning, the beginning of the workweek. Today I have many many random thoughts but I guess I will think about them a bit before posting them. I hope you all had a good week. I must brag on my husband. As most of you know, he is diabetic. He has done so well lately. His blood sugar has been better than is been in a long time. So, I just wanted to say to him...I love you my Michael, and I am very proud of him..Go tell him congrats over at his blog and you can also read about his funny story of the week.Who knows? Perhaps someone out there is also a diabetic and can offer more words.
On another note, there is a great blog conversation over at Stevens website regarding church, worship and the way bring people into the church..You know, praise music, U2...Interested? Check it out here

Thank you
So, I went to the dr to get those elevated white blood counts checked. As a nurse and after talking to doctors at work, I knew the chances of it being anything were slim. I called to verify my appt, and they answered North Atlanta Cancer center, may I help you? Fear began and I don't know why. Perhaps its the funeral this week, other patients but the C word scared the crap out of me.
I get there early to see the dr. I see patients waiting..Older patients. Younger patients. Bald patients. I hear their stories. I know what their plans are for the day. Chemo, bone scans, new treatment. I am alone. (not to worry, Michael would have been there. He needed his sleep and I wanted to go alone). I hear them. I see them. The faces of cancer. This horrific disease has affected each person around me.
I go into the office. I glance at the chemo chairs. They give me a pamphlet on YOUR CANCER! I'm thinking, do they know something I don't. I get weigh..Now that was fun, I tell you. I got blood drawn. A lot of blood drawn. I am sent to the exam room, where I wait alone and my mind wonders. Not for long thank God, but it indeed wonders. Am I ready for a surprise? What if there is a lab that was drawn that I don't know about and my Dr didn't want to tell me.
Well, my new Dr came in and said "You are a keeper. I'm sure seeing Cancer everywhere scared you" you are fine and your WBC has already returned to normal. Seriously. She rocks. She came and just told me. On a scale of 1-10, she said she is worried about a 0..She said, come back in 3 months and we will recheck and then release you to a doctor. She is setting me up with a nutritionist there so that's good.
Oh yeah, because I had to wait, I had to pay an extra dollar in parking. They took a check for 4 bucks from me..

Poll below
If I were to close the poll today, the majority of the voters chose TLC as the one cable station they could live with if they could only choose 1 station. I had no idea so many people watched the baby story! Go ahead, vote away Thurday 13ers

Wordless Wednesdays
These are a few pics from our trip last weekend home to celebrate our birthdays. We actually spend our birthday at Animal Kingdom. The children you see are our nieces and nephews!
The sexy dude would be my hubby, Michael!
Dont forget the poll a few posts below!
Yesterday
Besides my wedding and the birth/adoption of our future children, yesterday was the most beautiful experience I have encountered and I am blessed to have been a part of it. Catie, whom you can read about here, was a funny, lively little girl that literally touched millions of lives. I asked permission to share her site with you, so please visit!

the week ahead
2 things
1) I was able to take off a few hours and will go to the funeral. Leaving work at 430am and hoping to make it to Savannah by all after running home to change!. Pray, its going to be a rough day. Im expecting it to be a full church. Her precious life will be celebrated tomorrow. What an awesome, beautiful experience this has been for me. To be a part of a journey like this is like nothing I have experienced. Miss Priss will be remembered.
2) I am quite happy Mr Peyton is going to the bowl. Okay I dont know football. In fact I learned tonight that the quarterback is not on the field the whole game. Something about defense and offense. I need to learn. I am kind of excited about this game. Perhaps its the commercials because it certainly isnt about halftime. I think Jennifer Hudson should sing the National Anthem.
Thats all. I am off the next 4 days so hopefully I will get a lot of things done. I will let you know
