Orlando

We spent the last week in Orlando with our friends the Vinson's and the Wilson's.  We left wednesday morning and came back monday.  While in orlando we went to Kennedy Space Center and saw the space shuttle Discovery, which is why we took the trip, it was supposed to take off thursday but got moved to april 5th.  After that we went to Cocoa Beach.  It was a cold windy day and the water was freezing, but we had to put our feet in and take pictures.  We ended the day by eating at a resturant called Dixie Crossroads.  They served cornfritters with powdered sugar on top as appetizers, sounds crazy but it was really good.  And the most amazing shrimp any of us have ever had! It was great!  Friday we went to Universal Studios.  We road a lot of rides and saw some cool 3D shows.  We were pretty worn out that night! Saturday we went to Sea World, where Eli got to swim with a balooga whale.  He loved it!  We were supposed to fly home Sunday, but after loading the plane and pulling away from the gate, the engine wouldnt start.  After an hour or two they finally canceled the flight and put us up in a hotel.  We finally made it home Monday at 11.  It was a great trip with great friends! Now back to the real world for me.  I go back to work for the first time tomorrow. Pray everything goes well!

Roxie and my bday week

Well we have a new addition to our home, or should i say yard, her name is Roxie.  She is a precious blonde golden retriever that is 7wks old.  This past week was my birthday, so we went to Fayettville and watched the hogs play.  Then on sunday we went to Branson for a few days.  We shopped, ate, went to see Spirit of the Dance, and watched a movie.  It was nice to get away, especially because this week was our due date for Grant.  We are still having a hard time, it is a day to day struggle.  We went to a high risk doctor and he did a lot of blood work, we should get results soon.  I went for my 7week check up today with Dr Citty and he said everything looked good.  He is the nicest doctor ever! He was awesome during this whole experience and he is still being great.  Offered to call us if anyone comes in and wants to give their baby up for adoption.  We are checking into the process, but we will probably adopt soon.  Just pray for us and that we make it through this.  I am keeping busy by painting the kitchen and living room.  I needed something to keep my mind busy.  I go back to work next week, monday for my sister at dr.thomas office and svi wed and friday.  Ready to get back to a normal schedule.  I am going to work prn for now and just see how things go.  Back to my puppy.  We went home through little rock and got my puppy Roxie! She is so cute and sweet.  She keeps us company and she is so fun to watch.  She plays well by herself, but cries if she knows we are in the house and not paying attention to her.  She has learned to sit and fetch.  She hasn't gotten the entire fetch concept down, she will go get the toy but not always bring it back.  She likes the game keep away best.lol  Anyway, we still need lots of prayer and are so thankful for all the family and friends that we have in our lives! WE are very BLESSED!!
