Catching Up

It has been a while...sorry to my regular readers!  A lot has been going on, so I will try to catch up, without taking up too much of your time!

Family:  Everything is going pretty well with the family.  I really cannot complain!  Cheyton started baseball and is playing for the Cardinals.  He will be pitcher at his game tonight, but also plays first and third bases!  He has adjusted well to homeschooling and looks forward to starting at the school for homeschoolers in the fall!  Ethan is excelling in Academics.  We just went to his second honor roll assembly of the year!  He has started taking violin lessons with our dear friend, Amanda, and is a natural musician!  His first recital is May 15th!  We are quite excited to see him grow and show who he is and what he loves!  David is doing well!  He has such a heart and loves God!  He is improving in reading and excels in Math!  He (along with his brothers) participated in the Pinewood Derby for Royal Rangers.  He got a 1st place metal for show, and he proudly wears that just about anywhere we will let him!  He will be starting drum lessons soon!!!  EXCITING!  Sam is doing well.  Work is busy, home is busy...Not too much to report!  He has been such a blessing to me though!!!!  As for me, I am healing, slowly, but surely.  I got my hip surgery April 4th.  The surgery went well, but I have had a couple of setbacks since, so the recovery process is a little slower this time around.  I'm pushing through, with my family and friends by my side!  All the animals are doing well too!  Including our dog Cali!  She had been walking really well, as the weather warms up!  Looking forward to the sunny days, so she can go play fetch in the bay!

Relay For Life:  As I told you all before, Sam and I are participating in our local Relay for Life, to raise funds for cancer research.  Thanks to friends, family, collecting change and yard sales, Sam and I have together already raised ALMOST $1450!  This is a great amount for now, I am just praying that I am able to do more before June 1st! 

School:  I FINALLY got my diploma!  I graduated from a medical administrative assistant course in December and got my diploma in March!  I am beyond thrilled!  I am now studying for the national exam, in hopes of working in the fall.  We shall see what God has in mind! 

Like I said, there has been a lot going on...And this isn't even all of it.  There are some people in my life going through issues, medical and otherwise, that can use some thoughts and prayers.  For healing, guidance, peace, direction, comfort...If you need anything, be sure to let me know!!!!  I am here ALWAYS!
