break for friends

I took a break from the hospital to spend some time with a few girls I never get to see!

And find out about all the fun wedding details of the newly engaged Ashley Buxton.

It reallllllly made me miss my sweet friends.

I'm glad I'm home for a few weeks... even if it is for poopy reasons.

We are heading home to Stillwater tomorrow. Hospice has everything set up at my parents house for Gram. Continue to pray for everyone, especially Gram AND Papa. He is having a difficult time with this, as we all are. But knowing your wife is sick and there isn't anything you, or doctors, or anyone can do has got to be rough. I know it's hard for me, I can't imagine the pain my mom and her siblings, and my pops are feeling.

God has interesting plans. And He is always surprising us.

kisses.

life isn't fair sometimes

I have known my whole life how much my grandparents love each other. They are always kissing, talking about dirty things in front of us, lifting each other up, being incredible examples of a godly marriage, and always always laughing together.

The last 24 hours I have felt their love like never before.

I've been so blessed to witness this type of passion.

And as I sit in this hotel/hospital room writing this my papa is snoring in the bed next to me, and my sweet gram is on another floor in a hospital room sleeping in a hospital bed. And it doesn't seem right and it sure as heck doesn't seem fair.

But no one ever said life is fair.

kisses.

exhausted

After many bumped flights, and sweet friends (cathy and kary kiner) driving me from OKC to Tulsa. I made it.

Hello Oklahoma. I have missed you so.

My aunts are here, my uncle is here, and in a few days both of my brothers will be here. Such sucky circumstances to have a family reunion. But I am thankful for family and friends.

And I am thankful for airplanes, even though at times they suck also, they help people travel fast to loved ones.

kisses.

it's gonna be a long flight home

Well.

Looks like I'm coming home sooner than expected.

I'll be home tomorrow.

I'm excited to go home. But I wish it wasn't under these circumstances.

Gram- I want to hear all your dirty sex secrets, so have them ready for when I get there.

kisses.

new friends

I would like my 4 readers to see this.

It's big news.

We have made a few friends!

We met them through church and just happened to run into them at one of the many festivals Philadelphia has to offer.

I'm growing up and makin' friends!

kisses.

a night in the burbs

My weekdays (& most Saturdays) go something like this.

Marshall goes to school at 8:00 am.

I do "wife" things. I work online (it's my job). I go for a walk. I stare at the TV. I work more.

Marshall comes home about 5:30 pm.

We make dinner (notice the "we").

Watch the DVR while Marshall studies.

Bed.

I spend a lot of time in this hot house. I need social interaction. Marshall is in study mode so I feel bad taking him away from his studies, but tonight, I needed out. After an emotional night and day, I needed a date.

So where do we go?

The suburbs.

Chili's!

We had a coupon.

Also there was a going away party for Marshall's professor at the local suburb bar. So we had to make an appearance.

We might be doing a rotation in Miami. As are these 2 other people. So we attempted to spell Miami.

I got Biebered.

Overall, it was just what I needed to get out the house and take my mind off of things.

Back to finals mode.

kisses.

love

Last year for Christmas Marshall re-gifted (it was in the back of a closet for years) a gift and gave it to Gram and Pops.

And Gram loved it.

An Indian Jones whip.

She loved it as a sexual whip.

Come on, can you find 2 people more into each other than these lovebirds?

No you can't.

We're all praying for you!

My gram was recently diagnosed with pancreas cancer. The thought of her not being in my life breaks me. Some days are good, some are bad. Last night was one of those not so good ones. But Gram is strong and she has a team of people praying and loving on her. And one day when she goes, we know we will see her again. Because if there is one thing my grammie loves more than my papa it's our Heavenly Father.

Lots of prayers for Gram today. I'll be home in 2 weeks to hang out with her for 3 whole weeks! And I better not be coming home any sooner.

Thank you friends for your continued love and support.

kisses.
