Weekend Happenings

Jeremy was out of town last week. I didn't post it on here (obviously) but wanted to now because it is so good to have him home and also to say what a blessing lots of people were who helped me. We are so thankful for the friends and family who brought us meals, cookies and helped with driving the kids around and watching them too while I have been recovering from surgery.

I am feeling good! Everyday I feel better and am getting back to my normal self. I still wear out and take naps, but overall am doing great.

Before I went in to surgery my doctor said, "You're going to feel like a new woman!" I said, "You think?" He was a little surprised and laughed. He went on to say, "Well, I sure hope so." I guess I just wasn't sure if I would feel good or not. Now....I really think I will and it is exciting to think about not having surgery for endo anymore. I even told Jeremy I might like to run a race with him. He didn't take me seriously and actually laughed a little.

I also feel especially thankful for the three little people that I gave birth to. Surgery always makes me think about how things have turned out for us. I am still amazed at God's perfect timing with all of that. I mean truth be told........I don't know how I was able to have them with all the problems I've had. I think my new doctor was surprised too. And, with that said, I am also thankful that God chose to end that time of my life where I could actually "make" babies because I wonder if we would have followed through with bringing babies into our home that I didn't deliver. We would be missing out on so much. I just wonder if we would have given up. Let me tell you, we had our fair share of people asking us if we thought God was trying to tell us something when doors would close, but we knew that sometimes things just require lots of hardwork, patience and trust that God sees the end of the story even when we can't see past the present. I'm still working on that :)!

Okay....enough with that. Here are some pictures of me and the girls from our fun outing to see a play. It was pink themed! Can you tell??

We had so much fun together! I love to hang out with my girls. They are so sweet and they are so different. They love each other and I hope and pray they will be life-long friends.
