I’m back!

I’m sorry I have been away from blogging for so long. I haven't worked on any projects since Christmas, but the warmer temperatures are getting me back in the crafting mood. Chris and I have had a pretty rough 2010 so far. Like I told you back in January, Chris’ mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had to travel to SLU hospital every two weeks for chemo and when she was at home she had to have someone stay with her at all times. On March 7th while at SLU, Pat passed away. She developed a blood clot that broke off and traveled to her lungs and slowed her heart rate. It was a shock to everyone, but they are all handling it pretty good.

Besides Pat passing away,

• Chris hit a deer. It was a young deer, but it still messed up his bumper and grill. 
• We have had major sewer problems. I’m sure you don’t want to know all of the details…
• We had a $400 water bill and had no idea why, but still had to pay it.

 

I guess it could be a whole lot worse, so I won’t complain anymore. I am excited to be back blogging again and  can’t wait to find new projects to work on. I will be back tomorrow to show you what my mom got me for my birthday.

Thank you all for your prayers for Pat and the rest of the family!!

We just got news from Chris' dad and they found out the tumor is cancerous, but it's the slow growing type. The oncologist sounds pretty hopeful that they can kill the cancer with radiation and chemo.


Have any of you been to Hobby Lobby lately??? I made a quick trip the other day, and they are having some really good sales. They have all of their Christmas decor 90% off and their wall decor items were 60% off. I found a few cute things, but I'll have to show you later.

Did you guys watch American Idol last night? I found it really boring and I miss Paula. I didn't understand why Posh was on there, she just sat there for most of the show.


I've got some cute things to show you if I ever get time to take some pictures.

Prayer Request

:::::: I just wanted to let you all know that Pat made it through the operation!!!!

Chris and I have been preoccupied lately and I havn't had a lot of time for blogging. We recently found out that Chris' mom, Pat, has a brain tumor. It is about the size of a golf ball and it is pressing up against her brain making her paralyzed on the right side. She goes to St. Louis tomorrow this morning to have part of the tumor removed. They won't be sure if it is cancerous until they do a biopsy, but they said after looking at the MRI that there is a 90% chance it is.

If you would, please pray for Pat and her surgery tomorrow and that it's not cancer.

I'll be back to blogging soon!
