Thanks to Vicki for taking notes allowing me to catch up.
Jen, So sorry to hear about your friend Alyssa.
Vicki, Congrats on the new nephew. How exciting! And great that he will carry on the family name. My dad's side only has one boy to carry on the name.
Kristine, Sorry to hear about Bill's cousin. And I understand the death complex. My aunt who travels for business usually once a month, has over the last few years had many people pass away while she was gone. She nows hates to travel.
Paul
on the new job.
Ellen Glad to hear that your DH and your jobs are safe.
for job security.
Jennifer, Sorry your scavenger hunt did not go as planned. for graduating. Hope your elbow is feeling better.
Kate, Sorry you don't have a definitive answer on either your knee or the headaches Nick is having. It is tough to live in the limbo mode. I feel like I have been like for almost a year. Last summer I started have double vision. Thought it was eye strain, it went away after a day or two. Then it came back about 2 weeks later. Went to the eye dr and I was thinking that at worst I scratched my cornea. Long story short, he noticed swelling in my optic nerve, told me it could be a brain tumor, sent me to my reg dr who then sent me to a neurologist and within a day I had a CT scan, and a MRI. Ruled out the tumor, thank God, but the neurologist wanted to do a spinal tap. Had that done and it showed nothing other than increased fluid in my brain with no rhyme or reason as to why. I should have been having headaches which I wasn't. So I have been on medicine to bring the fluid down but they cannot tell me why it happened. The diagnoses was Psuedotumor Cerebri and while I freaked my self out looking up stuff on the internet I hate the fact that I have this potentially life changing disease but feel no symptoms or that the drs are confused. It would be so much easier to know this is why it happened and this is what to look for instead of just wondering why. Sorry for rambling. My point is that just keep pushing for answers.
Denise, to Rees and the rest of the Figs. I hope the tests don't cause too much stress for Rees. And that they can pinpoint exactly the cause of his troubles. I hope your stomach is feeling better.
Kevin, Happy Birthday. Amy, the pictures from the wedding are great. Love the one of Alyssa dancing.
Jennifer, Happy Birthday.
Lindsay, Sorry to hear the assistant did not work out. Here's :wizard to help you through the next few weeks.
Glynis, Way to on finishing up school.
Clare, Would love to see pictures of the house.
Bernadette, Welcome Home. I hope your Emma is feeling better today.
Paula, the baskets are great. Hope you enjoyed the weekend with DH.
Tammi- Alyssa is so beautiful. Looks like she had a great birthday.
Chanon, I can't believe you got the package on Monday. It got mailed out around noon on Saturday. Sorry to hear the Disney money went to the lawnmower. We will be headed out to Michigan the end of June. We might be able to arrange a lunch or dinner on the way out.
I know I missed some, I apologize. I ended up reading every page I missed. Isn't that a sure sign of addiction.
I spent the day yesterday getting me unpacked and then cleaning the house. I also had to spend time just doing nothing with Emma. She had a really hard time with me being gone. Last Wednesday her Kindergarten teacher was out for the day and she broke down. She had to go into the other Kindergarten class to be around the other teacher as she was familiar. I felt so bad. Everytime I called she would end up in tears hysterical. She is my emotional one. When she realizes that we are going to Disney I hope she forgives me. She keeps asking if I am leaving again. Molly on the other hand noticed I was gone Thursday night at bedtime, she asked Eric "Mommy bye bye?" When he said yes, she replied "ok" and put her head down and went to sleep. They are night and day.
Well now my fingers hurt.

These are at the oldest 4th graders. So guess who is going to have a sleep over/body image night at her house? I just have to do it before we do "bunk with the beasts" (Girl Scout night at the Denver Zoo). Yikes body image problems start younger and younger.
I wish I had the time to read through the 100's or is it 1000's 
of posts I have missed, but I just don't have the time right now. I hope you are all doing well - I include you all in my daily prayers and ask for the Lord's blessing on each of your lives. Even though I may not know each of you're particular needs right now, I know the good Lord does! Just a quick update on why I have "dropped off" - I have lived on our family farm all of my life. My parents, my sister and her family, and my grandmother all live on the farm property as well (each in their own homes). Well, due to some health complications with my dad and his severe diabetes, he has had to make the heart-breaking decision to sell the family farm 
. As if this isn't diffult enough to deal with, it also means we are all losing our homes. We just finished moving my sister to a town 25 miles from here (I am used to her being next door - so this feels like thousands of miles!). My grandmother will be moving to Florida on the 25th (that IS thousands of miles!). My parents are building a new home (only a mile away). And we are well... soon to be homeless. But I have complete faith and trust in the Lord that he will see us through and provide for our needs. Sometimes it's just so hard to "let go, and let God", you know? I want the answers NOW, and it's hard to wait for His timing and His will. So, as you might imagine, our lives have been turned upside down. It is all happening so fast, and so unexpectedly. I am just trying to take a day at a time, and especially to get through this year's homeschooling (I am hoping to finish on Friday! 
) Please keep our family in your prayers and I will try to update and catch up with you all as I can! THANK YOU for letting me get that all out!
