A Little of This and That!

WOW! So much has happened in such a short span of time and so much to share with all of you wonderful blogging family and friends.

1. Health ~ Praise God that on Friday morning, I got up with absolutely no pain at all! What does this mean? Well no more daily bed rest, no more pain meds and no more losing sight of the goal. God is faithful and thanks to all of your prayers, I was like a whole new person when I woke up on Friday. I had been in severe pain for little over a week due to endometriosis, fibroid tumors and ovarian cysts. Honestly it is fall, it's time to carve this pumpkin and take out all the inners. My life would be much simpler. Going to check out some recommendations that all of you shared and we will see where this journey ends.

2. Travel: Steve left town yesterday and despite suffering some huge setbacks, he will be headed home, sleep deprived and exhausted this morning. So once we pick him up, it home for some much needed sleep for a few hours before he heads back out tonight.

3. Cold Nights : We are finally settling into some colder temperatures and had our first frost warning last night. Let me tell you temps nearing that freeze mark have been feeling so great and welcome here. Time to break out the lotion because your skin gets so dry here due to low humidity.

4. Prayer Request: Please continue to pray for my brother as he has now found himself to be one of the recent layoffs happening all over. Even though he can collect unemployment, if he doesn't find work before his savings runs out, he will be moving out of his apartment. Pray that God will have a hand in his life and have an opportunity waiting just around the corner.

5. Awards: I have had the wonderful opportunity to be given so many incredible awards over the last few weeks and with so much going on, I haven't had time to post them like I should. I received the most recent from Christie at The Secret Life of An American Wife and Mom. This award is called Adding Sunshine to My Day.



There are no rules to this award. It is just a blessing to those who have blessed you with their comments, encouragement, or inspiration from a writing in their own blog. I would love to pass this award along to all of my blogging friends and followers who have stopped by and made my day a little brighter by their presence in my blogging world. I am always so touched when you stop by and even more so when you comment and let me know you touched my world. so, please accept this award and pass it along to those who add sunshine to your day.

The second award that I have received was from Nan at By The Way, one of Kat's daughters at Art's Chili who has a beautiful private blog but wanted to share it with some of you as well. It's called the Gorgeous Blogger Award and by accepting this award I have to tell you six things about me that you don't know and then pass it to six other gorgeous friends.

1. I hate most vegetables including broccoli, califlower, most beans, squash and sweet potatoes. I am a carrot, corn, peas and salad fixin kind of girl. My parents just weren't big veggie eaters when I was growing up.

2. My first job was working at Del Taco when I was 16. I had pretty much worked most of the stations and can still fold a mean burrito after working there for a year.

3. I have always wanted to own a duck. Don't know why but I just thought it would be a completely different pet to have. I've loved them since my summer vacations to a lake cabin on the east coast years ago.

4. I wanted to be a teacher when I was little and looking back life offers you all kinds of opportunities to teach what you know to anyone who will listen. That carried over when I became a customer service corporate trainer back in 2000! Love that job!

5. I love Twilight and yes, I plan on being there next weekend to catch the newest movie, New Moon! I have read all the books and didn't really enjoy it when it first came out in theaters. It wasn't until the launch of the version on DVD that I completely feel for the romance aspect of the film. Great story line and I am a die hard romantic any how.

So in passing this one along, here goes to these great gorgeous people!
