Today, I take another step on the path that God designed for me. The first 48 years of steps have not been easy but, He has always been there with me and brought me through each trial with His loving care.
Today, the journey continues. I have my OB/GYN appt to get the results of my tests that were run these past few weeks. I know that there is thickening of my endometrial wall and a cyst on my left ovary. Other than that, I know nothing.....and truthfully, I am scared.
It's funny how when you go through something as traumatic as kidneys failing and a kidney/pancreas transplant, along with 3 and 1/2 minutes not breathing and being brought back, you kind of have this thought that God won't allow anymore "stuff" to happen. I was that way when I was pregnant for the third time and had no children and that is what got me through those tough times.
So, for today, I am believing that God has a real purpose for me and for bringing me back to life that day five years ago. And, I am believing that He still has great things in store for me as a mom and a wife and a woman of Faith. So, I will not dwell on what could be but, rather, on what I have today, right now, this very moment. I have acquired, in my journey through life, an incredible wonderful husband who loves me more than I could ever imagine, two of the most beautiful children you would ever want to meet (and by beautiful I am talking inside and out) a great home, an awesome doggie who loves me and I am a member of a unbelieveable Church family who supports and encourages me always. (He has also blessed me with some pretty incredible sisters (those lovely ladies married to my sweet brothers). So, that is what I have and I am grateful for all of that. For what I don't know, meh!!

HUSBAND TAG
Amanda got me so...here it goes:::
What is his name? Mitch most of the time but, when I'm mad....oh...never mind!!
How long have you been married? In another week and 10 days it will be 22 years.
How long did you date? Well, we had known each other since babyhood....he claims to have helped my mom change my diapers!! So, we went on a "friend" outing that turned into something more serious on September 21, got engaged on December 25, got married on May 17, so, that would be, almost 8 mos. But, we really did know each other well!!
How old is he? He is 51
Who eats more? He does, but, lately it's a toss up!!
Who said I love you first? I think I did but, only because I was coming off a serious relationship and he didn't want to scare me away so, he waited until I knew it before it was said.
Who is taller? I am NOT tall!! He is NOT tall, but, he is taller than me....5'8" to my 5'2"!!
Who sings better? Our daughter!!
Who's temper is worse? Well, his is quicker, mine is slower....takes alot to make me angry but, when I reach that point, I'm pretty mean!!
Who does the laundry? Well, ever since I was in the hospital for weeks awaiting one of the kids birth and he did it, so proud of himself, and I came home to grey everything because he washed my dry clean black pants, I do it, gladly!!
Who does the dishes? That would be mostly me.....I don't work so, I fix dinner and clean up. Sometimes, he surprises me and does it but, if I mess anything up, he goes nuts.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed (when you are facing it)? Me....is that strange? I sleep closest to the bathroom wherever we are and that happens to be the right side at home.
Who pays the bills? I do. I write the checks and put the envelope next to his stuff for work the next day and he takes it to work so that it doesn't sit in the mailbox.
Who cooks dinner? Again, my job....he's at work, I'm at home, I cook!!
Who mows the lawn? The Lawn guy unless we buy a riding mower than, we will both do it...I will ride around like I know what I am doing while he trims the edges and gets the hard to reach spots with the push mower. I'm actually psyched about this one.
Who drives when you are together? Mostly him. I will sometimes go with him on a road trip and I will drive because he does his puzzle from the newspaper when he is driving and it freaks me out.....but, it also gives him a break because he drives all of the time.
Who has more friends? That's a tough one. He has more that are around here being that he's at work. I have bunches of internet friends that I actually get to see now and then. Who has more? I dunno.
Who has more siblings? I do. I have three brothers to his two sisters. Guess we kinda understand each other better having grown up with the opposite sex with no same sex sibling for help/protection.
Who wears the pants in the family? This is a shared responsibility...mostly. Now, if we are talking about bugs???? He most certainly gets the title!!

Crazy Days
Okay, Amanda, here it is!! I am posting for the first time. My life is a jumble of craziness right now. With Katie now home for the summer and looking for a job, nothing is as it was....calm days are now over for the time being.
Bekah still goes to school, Katie sleeps in until she chooses to face the world, I get nothing done and get irritated with her because the little that I do, she undoes. She is, by far, the sloppiest person I know....well, she and her sister, which makes for a great combination!!
I was approached last night about a job possibility.....with a company that makes insulin pumps.....I wore one for 15 years before my transplant. A friend of ours (Steve) has gone to work for them as a salesman and he needs a trainer for the patients he sells to. Right up my alley. I don't know any details but, it actually made my heart skip a beat. I'm not actively seeking employment but, this sounds like something I would not consider work.. I remember the fears of that little device that can take control of diabetes oh, so quickly.
I guess I need to inquire about it in more detail. I would love it if I only worked with Steve, therefore, not requiring me to work except on a as needed basis. Suits my lifestyle just fine.
Off to help Katie fill out some online apps.....praying that someone calls soon!!! She needs to work!!!!!!!!!!
