Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

merry christmas…a little late…

as i imagine you realized by now, joeys surgery went well.  he was in surgery for a little under 2 hours.  they cut the tendon, removed the bone chip and reattached the tendon.  he was in quite a bit of pain for the first two days and still has his moments.  i rewrapped it for him last night and noticed a big blister on the bottom of his foot, probably from it being all wrapped up and sweating.  and it was fairly swollen last night (also bruised).  i take him back to the dr on wednesday for him to look at it.

we had a WONDERFUL christmas!!!  we went to aunt graces christmas eve and had a great time with family there.  and of course we had awesome food there as well.  once joeys foot got to hurting (and he knew papa was at our house) then we headed home.  the kids were SO SO SO excited to see their papa.  they went straight off to bed pretty quickly that night. 

christmas morning i had a boy up at 2 am wanting to open gifts and then a girl that got up at 5 am…once she got up we just all got up.  watching their faces when they first walk in to the living room is awesome!  they were so excited to open all their presents.  and i think they loved every.single.thing. they got.

my love got me a HUGE sign to put out front for my photography business.  it’s beautiful, amazing, exciting…and for some reason that sign makes it feel more official….he’s a good boy!

i’m back at work today and tomorrow then off for the next 5 days after that, thank gosh.  sometimes i really need a break from this place.

out for now

so i totally suck…

i was doing SO SO SO good at the pic a day and then i just totally suck and miss a whole week…but i guess i kinda have a good excuse…

so last monday i posted the pic of my face after i fell on the ice.  well, turns out my nose IS broken and i also have a concussion and whiplash.  i went to an ent (ear, nose and throat) dr on tuesday and he said my nose deffo needed set and fixed.  BUT he was going to be off until january.  and he explained there was only a 8 – 10 day window to set my nose before it fused that way.  so he referred me to a different dr, a facial surgeon.  i have been to that dr 3 times now in the last week and he doesn’t want to do ANYTHING to my nose.  and basically tomorrow my 10 days is up.  now i am just waiting until january and going back to dr no. 1.  he will have to rebreak my nose and set it then fix my deviated septum (since i can’t breathe out of my right side).  honestly, at this point, i don’t care if they have to rebreak it as long as it is fixed CORRECTLY afterwards.  basically my last week has been filled with tons of dr appointments and headaches, literally.

tomorrow is joeys surgery on his foot, so please keep him in your prayers.  i know he is really nervous and scared about it (even if he wouldn’t admit it).  i’ll be sure to update the blog tomorrow from my cell.

and jade hurt her foot this past weekend as well, i’m praying it isn’t broken.  she really wanted to go to school today because they were reading to the third graders…and i haven’t got a call yet from the school so it must be working out ok.  last night and this morning every time she would try to walk on it she would cry.  and this morning i looked at it and it was swollen and very bruised.  if she isn’t better this evening i guess we’re off to the er for an xray.  and i swear if she broke something i am going to put my entire family in a bubble for the rest of the winter!!!

thanks for the prayers…i’ll be sure to update tomorrow…

**little full…lotta sap**

oh saturday, what a day THAT was!!!  it started off kinda shakey.  i thought it would be fun to take the kids outside and play in the snow some.  except the snow had this big (probably inch thick) crust of ice on it.  so much ice that you didn’t even break through when you walked on it.  we had a blast at first just sliding down the hill on our butts.  then as i was walking across the yard i just fell flat on my face, literally.  i’m fairly positive i broke my nose, busted my lip and pushed my one front tooth back.  honestly, i am SO not graceful!!!
hence the pic of the day for saturday…my face right after i fell…

yesterday was day and a half…we woke up to freezing rain outside and church was canceled.  i didn’t feel real well at all because of my fall (headache and neckache).  i will kinda blah, cranky and moody all day long, which sucked.  we just hung out at home and watched tv and movies all day.  we were suppose to meet bec and mike but it was just too yucky outside.  we rescheduled for next sunday.
here is the pic of the day for yesterday…miss raven…loving up her kids.  she is such a loving dog and just such a good girl.
