Blessings from Our LORD!

Well, this last month has been so amazing & God-willing, it will only get better!

I now have my surgery scheduled for Thursday, June 2nd.  I will be having surgery to have a Baclofen punp system put in to deal with the severe spastiscity in my legx.  With this being done, I should be able to stand, walk, & drive again!  Praise God!



Life from down here....

Ok, so I have not updated in awhile, but here goes.  I forgot how healthy & good this makes me feel just to talk to my friendly computer screen. Aahhhh.....

Well, life in a wheelchair might seem like a crappy life to alot of you, but when you have the LORD & a loving family to surround you, it puts all things into perspective.  Plus, hey, I ALWAYS have the most comfortable seat!!

Well, SimplyFun is going well.  I seem to get out what I put in so if I am having a difficult time with my MS, that takes a backseat and that is ok.  I still & ALWAYS will LOVE this company & what we promote -- Learning through Play & Keeping the family connected!

Other than that not a whole lot is new.  Tom has a student teacher who is taking over eberything starting next week.  He is doing a great job neing her mentor & supporting her on her journey to become an educator.

That's all for now.  Love you all!

Thankful for the small stuff!

So who will admit that they actually hate/despise "Black Friday"? 

The stores open before it is even daylight, and people are lined up over night outside wanting to get a certain bargain on a great gift for someone or maybe even for themselves.

Is it really worth getting up so early for something that will not go with them when they die?  

Down deep, I really wish that Christmas did not include buying gifts and everyone wanting so much when we have already received the greatest gift of all, Jesus, our Savior!

Wedding in Iowa

We are in Cedar Rapids, IA. We
Drove this far last night and now we R headd to Iowa City to see Tom's cousin, Paul & his family. After that, we R headed to Fairfield, IA. Another cousin of Tom's, Darrin is getting married. We will then head back tomorrow.

SimpyFun is Simply Terrific

Well, September is drawing to a close, and I must say that I am doing very well.  I am making very small, but definite progress since I started n Tysabri.  I have had four Indusions so far.  So far,so good.

MY business with SimplyFun is taking off. I am so glad!  I love this company & our mission to help children learn through play and help families stay connected.  We have so many wonderful games, puzzles, & a few other activities.  If you want to host a fabulously, fun party give me a call & we will get it set up.

The New School Year has Begun

Well, yes, the school year has begun.  Olivia had her first day of PK4 yesterday.  Tom started his inservice days the end of last week.  Things are going very well.  Praise God!  I have started to relaunch my SimplyFun business and things seem to be going very good.

I am loving SimplyFun.  I truly believe and have strong feelings about our mission.  We help children learn through play & help families stay connected!  The best part is the values run right down to the home office.  Thank you SimplyFun for this blessed opportunity!

Summer is going WELL, but too fast!

So here I sit, and it is already August.  WOW!  Summer is certainly flying by.  I have had 2 infusions of Tysabri and it seems to be going well.  My legs are getting a little bit stronger and more easily movable a very little bit every day.  It actually is hard to notice on a day-to-day basis, but there is improvement.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow! 

So I never updated about our trip out west.  It was really good!  We spent around 2 days with Pat, Molly, & Graham.  Graham and Olivia are so much alike in the way in which they play.  What I am saying is that they would both be playing side-by-side in the sandbox nicely, but not really playing with eachother.

We went to Skamania lodge, which is in the Columbia River Gorge.  We stayed there for a night and Tom &Pat even went golfing there.

Molly & I stayed with the kiddos and played at the lodge.

They had a really nice little playground.  They also had a big open area with soccer balls and other outside toys for the kids.

After our visit with the WA Ranks, we headed to Bellvue, WA for my SimplyFun convention.  It was very good.  They revealed the NEW SimplyFun!!  I tool a lot away from our training sessions and am looking to rebuild my business!
