Happy Anniversary!

7 years ago today, I married my best friend.

Step Out for Diabetes

We walked today at Soldier Field along the lake. It was nice up until the point that we started walking, then it rained up until we were about 100 yards from the end...then there was sun! GRRRR! But it was worth it. We raised over $700. Plus, Steve, Madilyn and I all walked the WHOLE ROUTE! Almost 4 miles. I am so proud of all of us! We rewarded ourselves by going to the Rainforest Cafe afterward.

Covered Bridge Festival

Last weekend, Steve and I went to Indiana for the weekend. Kind of a mini get away for our anniversary. We had a great time. We stayed at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast in Attica Indiana called the Apple Inn. It turns out that the owner is a scrapbooker. What are the chances? AND...she does retreats! **gasp** We stayed in the Devon room. It's named after the owner of the local theater. It was cool. There were painting on the wall of Marilyn Monroe, CW Fields, and one of the boys from Abbott and Costello. Okay, back to Covered Bridge... We only made it to Mansfield. And it took the ENTIRE Saturday! We didn't spend an insane amount of money, but we walked A LOT and had a great time! Also, got to smell a lot of goodies. Of course, I didn't allow myself any of those goodies. (and my blood sugars thank me).

The day at the hospital.

That is what it was.

First was my biopsy. It went ok. The right side didn't really hurt. But the left side was a different story. It hurts to swallow. It hurts to move my head too far. And now we wait for the results, should be the middle of next week.

Then was Bill's lung biopsy. Which actually turned out to not be a lung biopsy at all. Instead it was a chest wall biopsy. Again, we wait for the results sometime next week. He is in the hospital. At least I got to come home.

It's been a while!

So we've been busy! Lots of stuff happening, but most importantly we've had some health scares.

Tomorrow, I am having a biopsy on my thyroid. They are checking for cancer. The left side of my thyroid will be removed regardless, but the right side might stay in.

Also, my father in law is having a biopsy done on his lung. Something that is potentially life threatening...please pray that everything is okay. With both of us!

Cards

Here are a few cards I've been working on. One is for Madilyn's Piano teacher. The "give thanks" cards are for Operation Write Home (www.operationwritehome.org). The Red, White, and Blue cards are hero cards, also for OWH.

Another Fall Project

This is a fall arrangement I made for Madilyn's piano teacher. I hope she likes it.
