Blah!

At least that's how I've been feeling! This weather has done major damage with my sinuses. And for some reason I only get nauseous when I have sinus infections. Strange I know! Anyways, I went back to the baby dr yesterday and everything is still fine! The heartbeat is still at a strong 160 and I haven't started gaining weight yet! (which is more than I can say for my first pregnancy) haha! Although tom. may do me in for that whole weight thing. I'm sure gonna enjoy lots of delicious food! We only have one dinner tom. and then one friday and one sunday!! Which means lots and lots of good food!!
We got my grandfather settled in to his new home. He is out of the other facility he was in for a couple weeks and we've moved him into an assisted living place. The staff and everyone there seem very nice and he gets to practically have everything from home right with him. Except his cat which is bothering him! But he is doing alot better now!! He is more oriented and is taking his meds like he's suppose to and is much friendlier. So keep the prayers going for this!!
I hope everyone has a wonderul Thanksgiving!!! We have a lot to be thankful for right now and I'm sure many of you do as well!!! Enjoy all the precious friends and family and great food!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Prayers & Family

Things have been crazy around here lately with school, family issues, and the whole election. I do have to say that I did vote and chose the candidate that I thought fit the best with my personal views. I was a little disappointed to know that my choice didn't win but life goes on. Now all we can do is pray for our nation and our new president elect. We can't change what happened so we have to accept it and move on. That's all I'll say about the election because it seems to be a very hot issue with people.
As for school..it's slowly coming to an end at least for this semester! I had my mock interview for my online class yesterday as well as my 2nd history test. I have a speech due monday but i'm actually kind of excited about it. I'm doing a persuasive speech on organ donation so I think it'll be a positive experience. We only have one more speech after this and one more history test. My online class is almost finished up because we can work ahead. So it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel!
The prayer part comes into play where my grandfather is concerned. He's been having major health issues that came on all at once. He had an episode in the hospital a couple months back where he said it felt like everything in his brain fired all at once. They thought it was a stroke at first but after tons of test they ruled out every possibility so we never found out exactly what it was. He's become very depressed and hateful. And that's not the kind of person he is. He's the youngest of 12 kids and his health seems to be the worst of the living ones. He got so depressed that he had to be placed in a facility in Ft.Payne that was able to watch him around the clock. It's a senior care unit and it seems to be a very clean place. It 's just hard to accept the fact that he's not at home and we can't just go over and everything be normal. He's been very confused about where he is and everything. We're praying for some kind of answers whether they be the appropriate medications or therapy or whatever. It's just really hard to see him going through this and not be able to help. Please say a prayer for our family and my grandfather! They would be greatly appreciated. I hope everyone has a great wknd!!

Halloween 08




I know I'm a little behind but I've been super busy with school!! Emma had a wonderful Halloween! She was the cutest little homemade pumpkin ever! haha! At least I think so since I made her outfit. She gots lots of sweets that she'll never be able to eat them all. We had family in so we visited with them and got some adorable pics. We visited a few family members and then headed to the County Park to trick or treat a few friends. We only trick or treated a few streets but that was plenty for Emma. She loved peoples decorations more than the fact they were giving candy out. She wanted to touch all the pumpkins and scary decorations. We had a great time! It was soo much fun to have some time to spend just me, Emma and my mom. She always goes with us on Halloween so it's fun for the whole family. I guess that's all I'll say about Halloween!
