Wow

Didn't realize it had been sooo long. Seems as tho I'm always apologizing, but I'll quit apologizing after this one~ I'm sorry. Just remember that when I'm late again :)


Well, mom's back home. She came home that Sun. She had a UTI that she ignored and it became poisonous to her body.


Me, Trevor, Mark, and my BF went down to see her that week. She's doing ok, but not as good as she wants you to believe. We spent Wed.-Sun. in Ga. She got to see Trevor for the first time. So sweet. I talked to my dad last week, and he said that they(her therapist and in home nurse) want to get mom to get a motorized wheelchair and a "porta-potty" by her bed so that she won't have to go into the bathroom. Gonna be hard to convince her, but we'll see.

We don't know how much longer she's gonna be around. Just pray.

On the way down, we stopped at a McDonalds and they had these on the wall. I was so surprised, but happy.

Please Pray Without Ceasing

Please be in prayer for my parents. My mother is in the hospital right now. They aren't too sure what's wrong. I won't go into too many boring details :), but just a few.

My mom had a seizure this week, then became unresponsive. They took her to the ER and her blood pressure was 190/90 (her normal is 90/70). Her temp. was sky high. I think the doc actually thought she wasn't going to make it. I don't think my dad did either. They have her on very strong antibiotics right now. Yesterday, she was babbling the whole time. Couldn't make out a word. Today, my dad said you can hold a little bit of a conversation. Her blood pressure is now 145/90 and she's running a low grade fever. They want to do a MRI, but she can't handle it....VERY claustrophobic, so they want to try a CAT to get their answers. They took 4-5 vials of blood, but the results won't be back for another day or two.

My dad's request (and of course mine too) is to pray without ceasing. He is in rough shape too (both my parents have had back problems since I was little, so this is taking a toll on his back too). It's tough on me being 300+ miles away, not being able to do anything.
Luv in Christ

Sometimes...

...I forget why I fell in love you, but something always brings me back:



~to that first glance...and I saw you.

~to that first smile....that melted my heart (you know how I love your dimples)

~to those first words....that captivated my ears.

~to that first staring contest...when I saw into your soul.

~to that first kiss....that sent chills.

~to the songs we heard that made you tear up.....making you wish for a future together.

~to the first I Love You....even tho I said it first :)

~to that time we went to Blowing Rock...and I "proposed" to you

~to that night you proposed to me...tho it was wasn't the day you had in mind.

~to that day going to the courthouse....to become husband and wife.

~to those tears of happiness.....that we both cried.

~to those smiles of glee.....which neither of us could get off our faces.



To the many years to come...as we grow old together.

Happy 6th Anniversary!!
I LOVE YOU LEWIS!!!
