O my, I'm getting old....yessss, my 29th Birthday is next Monday!!!! This weekend Ryan and my family are taking me out to a nice bday dinner at P.F.Changs and then my NKOTB besties are taking me out the following Friday for a girls night out (which btw thank-you Lauren and Tara.) This will be a birthday party I will never forget!!!!
We all went to the NKOTB concert in October and I have to say I
had a BLAST!!!!! Lauren, Tara, Ashley, Amy, Kim and Summer are the best friends and I'm so thankful for their friendships.This past weekend I ran the 5K in downtown Greenville. Lets see the run was beautiful even though it was cloudy but I'm totally out of shape. Lauren had to run and check on me just to make sure I was alive (hahahaha)........ I was but barely. They say when you quit smoking you eat more - that is totally true. Ryan and I are wanting to run the Cooper River in April with the gang so I have to get in shape so I can run and not walk the whole time. If Ryan is gone to basic training, I will have to rely on myself~ POSITIVE attitude will have to kick in!!!!!
Since the last blog, Ryan and I have been extremely busy. He finished pre-test and decided to do National Guard. He leaves this coming Monday to get his physical and take one more test. I'm really excited to see Ryan succeed but at the same time I will miss him when he leaves for training. Ryan is my everything and I'm so grateful for his love.
We also had a praise this past week on my mom's health. If anyone doesn't know my mother....she has had a lot of health issues since I was little girl. My mother used to be handicapped believe it or not. We had a nanny named Debra Valentine who dressed me, took me to school, cooked supper for us, and took care of my mother as much as she could. She was amazing and without her we would have gone crazy!!!! My mom still has a lot of trouble but she can walk....( totally a God thing) In spite of everything else she had in 2006 (the worst year ever for my fam) she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and was rushed to Emory Hospital in Atlanta. Now if anyone doesn't know this.... usually people are dead before they find an aneurysms. THANK-YOU Jesus for saving her! We feel truly blessed everyday to have her still here with us. The test she had done two weeks ago is called a anagram and the doctors said the test results cam out great! Everything looks good and she has to go back next year for another check up. So we really were
excited and its so amazing to see God's work.The best way to end this blog I believe is that we are not promised tomorrow. We have to live life to the fullest even though we have bad days. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be!
