Release

Release

Whoa! Thanks to all of you who have been praying for Chuck (and for me!). Pretty sure I was way more worried/concerned then he was. He’s just thrilled that he’s getting released soon, and that the Dr. approved him to go back snowboarding Feb. 7. (No comment.) His CAT scan came back OK, so praise the LORD!!Thanks so much for praying! Chuck and Jon have a two hour drive back this afternoon, so hopefully that will go well. NO MORE…

Bleeding

Bleeding

Well, this isn’t exaclty the blog I was hoping to write tonight, but Chuck’s CAT scan came back showing bleeding on his brain. They are obviously concerned and are keeping him overnight to do more CAT scans in the morning. From Chuck’s perspective, he went up about 10 feet in the air over a jump, and doesn’t remember anything until he woke up in the hospital. His face is scratched up, his limbs are sore, but he’s already talking about…

Pray for Chuck!

Pray for Chuck!

So I just got a call from a good friend of Chuck’s (boyfriend Chuck, not MN Chuck!) saying Chuck was being taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital. No one wants to get a call like that. My heart is racing, and I’m trying not to be the freak-out, worried girlfriend. Jon says Chuck should be fine, but that he mostly likely has a concussion from a snowboarding accident today. Please pray for him! Those are the only details I…

Happy…

I thought today would be a great day to introduce my significant other (Chuck!) to my blog world! Starting at midnight last night, he has made my special day more sweet and wonderful then I ever thought possible! I woke up this morning and the celebrating only continued! The first image I saw when I opened my bedroom door was this man holding lil baby Chail in his arms! Of course I turned right back around to hide my messy…

Tagged…

I finally got tagged in a 6th album/6th picture post! I’ll admit I was beginning to feel a little left out! Chuck, you made my day with your Waveland pictures AND with tagging me! Thanks friend! =) Unfortunately, I have already posted this picture on my blog. I confess this makes for a boring post, but I had to follow the rules! I will say I feel as if I am leaving Christmas behind now, and moving forward. I am…

There’s Somethin’ About Christmas Time!

There’s Somethin’ About Christmas Time!

It’s true! Our house has that feeling that can’t really be put into words. The excitement hangs in the air like smoke after a firebowl. The food sits out on the counter from morning til night. Cookies, cakes, chocolates, cashews, bark, candies, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew, and more Mountain Dew! Yesterday our GREAT friends KRISTI and Peg Walker (HI KRISTI!!!!! I love you!) stopped by with a warm apple pie to share! We sat around the table and gabbed for…

Remarkable!

Remarkable!

TODAY is a remarkable day! I am compelled to praise my God for LIFE. For MY life. I am living, breathing, alive, healed, WHOLE, and FREE today. 4 years ago today I never imagined that could possibly be true, but here I stand. I stand in awe of my Savior. I stand in awe of his deep, intimate, and personal love for ME. I stand in awe of His unfathomable power. I stand in awe of His ways. I stand…

The National Christmas Tree!

The National Christmas Tree!

I got to see The National Christmas Tree this past Friday night! I’ll admit before moving, I had never even heard of it! But I was invited, and more then excited to check it out! We rode The Metro downtown (which I loved!) and only had to walk a little bit before the tree was in sight. I think I squealed when I first caught a glimpse of it. To say it’s enormous is an understatement! Obviously, it’s so big…

Missing Minnesota

Missing Minnesota

I am missing Minnesota. Quite a lot, actually. It’s getting worse and worse as the minutes pass me by this morning. Particularly Minnesota Christmas. The MOAI miss walking in The MOA at 6:24 AM every morning and being awed by the thousands of strands of lights dangling so delicately from the ceiling. I miss gazing at them and being mesmerized each day. I miss those moments before the hustle and bustle started at The Mall. Just me and the lights….

While You Were Sleeping

While You Were Sleeping

Hi Father! This post is especially for YOU! Peg was clicking pictures while we were waiting for your surgery to be over! This is what we do for hours and hours while we wait…and wait…and wait…I think you had the easy part! You were fast asleep! 😉 Update: Dad got all 59 (YES! 59!) staples out today! His stitches, too! YAY! This is the screen I’ve mentioned in previous posts. Dad had a special code so we could watch how…
