I Have Now Been Blogging...

for a year! And I have yet to reach 100 posts. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Anyway, school started back today and it's back to the grind and reality. As always, I have several things to blog about; maybe I'll get around to them this year! I especially want to post about our cruise! Also, Jeremy will be starting a blog soon for Wiregrass Travel. We will both be posting as well as customers he has booked that would like to blog. I believe he has someone who recently cruised with Royal Carribean working on a post as we speak. Anyway, I will let you all know when it's up and running. And be sure to check out my co-worker Jacque's blog for her store The White House!

Happy Spring Break!

For those of you who have it that is. Otherwise, just Happy Spring! I too like Andi, will not be blogging during the break. So I'm sure I'll have lots to catch up on later next week. And I still have lots that I want to post too. I just have not had the chance to get on the internet much lately. With Jeremy working from home now, he stays on the computer a lot. (have i said that already?) Which is good, because that means he is booking trips for people. I need to save my money and get myself a laptop.
Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful week!

Going to make this quick!

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good place to get a pedicure? I want something that is cheaper than the usual rate of around $40ish, but I also want it to be clean. I do not want a fungus. :)
Hopefully this weekend I will have time to catch up on blogs and actually post something worthwhile!
Happy Friday ya'll!

Quick Update This Time

I talked to my doctor's nurse this week and she told my that my echo cardiogram was normal! I was surprised that wasn't MVP. But I guess I shouldn't have been; I had too many people praying for me! She said Dr. Connor would explain the results on the 1st. I'm not sure what else there is to explain, unless he thinks there is something else causing my heart to do funny things. Plus I have to do that fun, fun breathing test (spirometry) that the asthma doctor used to make me do. (i stopped going. i know, that's bad.)
As for my MIL, she begins radiation on the 17th. She will have to go everyday! She does like her radiologist a lot though. He was very nice and thorough when she went for her appointment Tuesday. His name is Dr. Patel (no relation to the OB/GYN) and is pretty new in town. I will update more on her once treatment begins.
Ok, I need to get ready for church. And I'm not sure this was a quick update! I just don't think I have it in me. :) I may be back later today to blog about what I did last weekend.
Hope you all remembered the time change!

Update....

Thank you all so much for your concern and your prayers. It means so much. I have felt so much better mentally (and physically too) because I know so many people have been praying for me. It is an awesome feeling.
Anyway, the echo cardiogram went as good as it can I guess. I didn't have to wait long to be called back and the exam itself took about 10 minutes. And my insurance paid for it 100%; not even a co-pay! So that was a blessing too. The technician told me my doctor would have a report in 3 business days. I may call later this week and just see if the nurse can tell me anything since my appointment isn't until April 1. I will update when and if I find out anything else.
On a much more important note, I am requesting prayer again. We found out on Thursday (while I was getting my test done) that my MIL's cancer is back. She was diagnosed with lung cancer (she has never smoked!) 3 years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy. It is now back in a lymph node around her esophagus. The good news in all of this is that it's localized and hasn't spread. We were also told when she beat the cancer the first time that if it ever came back there was a good chance it would be new cancer in her brain. Strange huh? So we are very thankful it didn't come back in that way. Dr. McAllister is very positive that it will be beaten quite easily this time. She will be doing radiation and taking a chemo pill. Unfortunately, the radiation treatments are every day. Other than it coming back, the other bad news is that now that it has returned, it will always come back. We just hope and pray that she can go for long periods of time during recurrences.
I hope none of you ever need an oncologist, but if you were to I highly recommend Dr. McAllister. (his wife is a pediatrician by the way) He is from Slocomb so I have known him forever. He is a fantastic doctor and is so caring and concerned for his patients. He is a good Christian man and has prayed with my MIL on several occasions. He also took good care of my granddaddy a couple of years ago.
Jeremy, our family, and I would greatly appreciate your prayers. I will keep you all posted on this as well.
