So, once again, a week between posts. Life is just crazy at times.

Bryce's sports are still going great. He has 3 more football games, 4 more soccer games and then we're done....until basketball season that is.

Several people have asked about Chad, he is doing well as long as he takes his meds when he's supposed to ;) he goes back for a check up soon.

I've missed the last 3 days of work with a %*$#) kidney stone. I finally passed it a little while ago and feel much better but very tired. I missed Bryce being announced on the football field at the high school game tonight so I'm totally bummed about that.

A little heart to heart.....As most of you know, it was a long, 2 year struggle to get pregnant with Bryce. I am soooo very blessed to have him in my life and I praise and thank God for giving me such a wonderful child. We tried for almost a year starting last August, to have another baby. So 1 year, 2 IUI's (sorry for too much info) later, we have not been able to have another child. I still desire another child so badly that it hurts. I had to keep the infant nursery at church Sunday night and just smelling the babies brought me to tears. Chad has really moved on from the idea and has come to peace with the fact that its just not going to happen. I, on the other hand, have not been able to find that peace. I have prayed and begged God to please either give me the baby that I want so badly OR give me the peace to move on. There are days when I get sooo mad and frustrated that other people seem to be able to have babies by just looking at each other. People that don't care about and love their children, can pop them out like its nobodies business. I just don't understand, I really don't. I know that God is perfect and has a reason for everything, its just hard to see it at times. Ok, not sure why I felt the need to share that with you guys but I hope that you will pray for me.

Love you guys! Have a great weekend!

Some pics for ya!

Bryce had his school pictures Friday - here is a pic I took of him that morning



And, this is what I did with my night alone last night! Felt so good to do something scrappy!!





Have a great weekend!!

So.....

Its Friday - yay!! I've been lacking on the blog psoting because there has been a lot going on so I'll try to fill you in a little.

First, I told you that I would let you know about Chad's tests, etc. We didn't get very good news but its definitely not as bad as it could have been. Seems he has chronic ulcerative colitis. Being a RN and knowing what this can potentially mean in his future, he was really upset with the news initially. He is handling it better now and the meds they have him on seem to be controlling the symptoms well for now. We are very thankful for that. This means that he is always at risk for a flare up, he is at a higher risk for colon cancer and will have to have routine colonoscopies often. Potentially it can affect him very little or a lot depending on how things go. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Second, Bryce and sports. Good gravy that kid is keeping me busy! He is still playing fall soccer and football. Still loves both and keeps us busy almost every evening. He has homework every night so trying to balance that with practice and games proves to be challenging some days. He and Chad had to have a come to Jesus meeting about both of their attitudes about sports. It got ugly this week but I think they've finally talked through it. They are both soooo competitive and stubborn that they don't see eye to eye at times.

Third, the diet world. Well, there is a program that is all the rage here. Everyone I know that has been on it has lost tons of weight. Well, I've been on it for a while and I've been walking most days of the week and haven't lost a thing. After doing some research I think that stupid Adrenal gland deal from the summer has affected me more than I realized. Seems when you have adrenal gland failure, you can't lose wait like other people. So, I've found an adrenal gland support/weight loss pill at GNC that I'm going to try to see if that helps at all. Why can't my body do anything right?!?!?!

Fourth, work. It has calmed down some. We start new software on the 14th so I'm sure there will be some kinks with that. Looks like I'll be in my current job for about 6 more weeks and then we'll see where we are in regards to me switching to my new position. With the current market, I'm very afraid that there will not be enough loan volume for me to go into the planned position so please pray that something great will work out! I'm secretly hoping they will make me the marketing person for the Western team of the Secondary Mortgage Dept!

Guess that's enough rambling for today ;) Hope you have a great weekend! GO HOKIES!!!
