Apparently the bus to normalville hasn't arrived yet!





Update on my sister and baby!

Miss Serenity is doing great.
She had a few setbacks early in the week and had to be put on antibiotics and a light for jaundice, but has gained a few ounces and grown a whole inch since she was born.
My sister called yesterday upset. Her husbands family had only paid through this morning and she was worried they were going to have to leave. She said that they only had $10 to their name and no way to go.
Thanks to all of you who donated, I was able to pay for them to stay there through Sunday. I found out that they rent is only $10 a night for the first 21 days, then $5 thereafter.
As of now, they only have $10 left from those who have donated. Our families are trying to get up enough money to buy them a cheap way of getting back and forth to the hospital, and we'd appreciate your help.
If everyone who read this blog would donate $5 or $10, we would have enough money to keep them in the Ronald McDonald House until Serenity comes home.
This is a hard time for our family and my sister and her husband could really use some help, prayers, and support getting through this.
If your willing to donate, all you need is a debit or credit card and a couple of minutes. To do so, click here!
THANKS TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY DONATED AND ARE PRAYING FOR OUR FAMILY!!! *Hugs!*
Next stop, Normalville!!
THANK YOU!
Anything you can do to help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Life is Good
To say I've been enjoying the past few days, would be an understatement.
Thursday, Mark and I packed up the van and headed home from SC. And this time, was the last time. (THANK GOODNESS!)
The drive home was long and boring, but once we finally arrived home, it was all worth it. You see, I've been wanting an iPod Touch for some time now. And about 3 weeks ago, my FIL bought a new MacBook Pro and got one free. After playing with his, I just knew I had to have one. In fact, it's about all I talked about.
Unfortunately, even though I had the money to purchase it, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. We are leaving this Thursday for the beach and I kept telling myself I could use the money for that instead.
Anyway, to my surprise, Mark went and bought me one when we arrived home. He said that I had been so great with all of his traveling (GONE ALMOST EVERY OTHER WEEK SINCE JANUARY!!!) and he thought that I deserved it. Say it with me, AWWWWWWWWWW!
And y'all, if you don't have one, GET YOU ONE! I triple puffy heart it!
Friday consisted of getting ready for our 4th of July Block Party, going to the mall and Costco with a friend, getting a pedicure, and hanging out in the front yard with the neighbors til almost 1am.
The party wasn't set to start until 3pm on Saturday, but a few of us were out there and already partying by noon. The food was great, the fireworks were great, the kids had a blast, the company was extremely nice, and the entertainment, well, you should have just been there!
And while you'd think that the next coming days couldn't get any better, I'd have to disagree. You see, next Thurday, I will be here. And I won't be coming back until the 18th.
To say Life is Good, well, that's an understatement.
The One Where I Completely Run Myself Ragged and Can't Stay Awake To Post Tasty Thursday
So yea, I didn't forget, I just didn't have the energy to get it up.
We went out to dinner last night, drove around downtown, and then came back. I got online with the intentions of getting the post up, and then I laid on the bed until 11 and was in bed by 11:30.
I have been packing all morning (WE ARE GOING HOME TODAY!!! YAY!!!!) and just haven't been able to get it up.
Hope you all will still join me next week and feel free to link up two posts next week if you had one up for this week.
Have a safe and wonderful 4th! XOXO!
Need your input....
Since I am going to be busy getting ready to go to the beach the first of next week and then to the beach on Thursday, I am going to be scheduling some posts on both this blog and my design blog, so you won't even know I'm gone.
