Still here...just busy

I keep saying I am going to find the time to blog....well I have not done that yet.  It has been two months since I updated and a few things have been going on..
Update on my brother in law....Michael goes back to the DR next week to find out if the meds are working.  If they are then GREAT but if they are not then we have to find a way to have the surgery to by him some time.  They wanted to try the meds first because he does not have insurance and we cannot find a DR to do the procedure.  If neither the meds are working or the surgery does not happen then he has about a year...if the meds are working or we can get the surgery now then we have about 3 years or less.  We just take this one day at a time and I trust GOD has a plan for all of us regarding this.
Update on my daddy....he has lost 40 pounds since January due to his diabetes and the DR was very pleased with him on that.  His levels are staying normal and that is great.  He has been having some other issues and we are doing some more testing.  I won't go into detail but please say a prayer for him.
Gunner started baseball last week and we are very excited to get this season going even if we spend 3-5 days a week at the ballfields.  He is doing much better in school and I could not be prouder of him right now.  Chris just took Gunner on a 3 days camping and fourwheeling adventure and they had a blast plus met some great people.  This is going to be there annual trip between father and son. 
While they were gone I worked and then Friday Kallie, me , my mom, and my sister went to Greenwood to see my grandma and spent the night with her.  We got up on Saturday and spent the day shopping and eating lunch out.  We had such a great day that I hated to come home but I was excited to see Chris and Gunner.  When we went shopping we went to these two little shops in Booneville AR that are very trendy and we got lots of goodies.  I cannot wait to go back there again.  I like little towns that have trendy little shops and people actually know you.  We ran into a lady that used to work with my dad over 20 years ago when he was an assistant manager at the WM in Booneville right before my brother was born.  I did not get any pictures this weekend as I forgot my camera AGAIN. 
Chris and I are now starting on some house projects and I will be doing several posts on my little handy man and his great work he does for our house.  I am excited to get some of these projects underway and completed before the BIG graduation party I am hosting my sister and newphew in May. 
On the list....a deck for our backyard, a Pergula over our deck, painting the inside of the house, new backsplash for the kitchen, multiple flower bed makeovers, and many more.  Yes we are crazy but we love sprucing up things and since we have been here for almost 3 years it's time for some major updates.  Happy Spring

With love,

Anna
