BEST DAY EVER!!!

Who knew that I would experience the BEST day & worst day of my life, all this year, & both on Friday the 13th.
Friday the 13th of March, Nic was diagnosed with cancer.
Friday the 13th of November Nic was declared cancer free.
Such emotions, such gratitude, such love. This year has certainly been a learning experience for all, not to mention an emotional roller coaster. I think I will finally be able to sleep at night with out the aid of sleeping pills. Seeing Nic's dirty clothes on the floor will, will only make me smile, knowing that he is still here with me. I have developed a deep appreciation for everyone who has helped me out, let me vent, and just put up with my crappy attitude. I know my poor friend Kim has been put through the ringer by me, and yet, she is still my friend. For that, I thank God.
I really do appreciate all of you, I know many of you made sacrifices so that you could help out me & my family. I don't know that you will truly understand just how much we appreciate it all.

words can not describe the elation I am feeling.

With Grattitude

I want to thank the wonderful Young Women's group from West Haven, and Grandma Hadley for organizing the activity.

Grandma happened to look at my blog when I posted about my garden. You'll have to go back & look at the blog.

I never had time to weed it, so I just kept watering it, & that's it. I did pick some green beans and bottled them. When the weeds were taller than Stockton, I gave up. Then we got a call from Grandma that she was coming over with her young women's group to weed our garden. We tried to tell her that each girl could maybe pick a square foot & work on it for an hour & then go home.

I was trying to be sneaky & take a picture from my back door with out them seeing.

She said they would do what they could. My beans had been harvested, my herbs were WAY out of control. My cucumbers had been choked out by the weeds. I still have plenty of tomatoes & tomatillos. I asked Grandpa Hadley if he thought my potatoes had survived. I told him that that had grown for a while, but had since died. He took his shovel & did a little digging. It didn't take much & red potatoes started popping up everywhere. I was so happy. Every time I have planted potatoes in that garden, they have never really made it. This year I had a good crop. I made hash browns for breakfast & masked potatoes for dinner the following day. My family is still using the tomatoes, potatoes, and onions. I also had a zucchini plant make it, I now I've got too many. But I'm not complaining.

~Thank You Ladies~

You need to look back and find the post where it has a picture of how it looked when I gave up.

Thank You

I can not express the joy I felt when I arrived home to see my yard work had been done. I was planning on mowing the lawn after work. I left work at 6 with a migraine that had me sick to my stomach- I had taken my medication on an empty stomach, which didn't help. I came home & noticed my yard looked neat. not unkempt and over grown, like it did when I went to work. So I came in & there was dinner (Thanks Nate & Jen) Delicious. I ate a big helping so that my pill would kick in- and it did. Then I had extra time to spend with the kids. Something that is not common anymore on weeknights. I am grateful for my family and all they are doing to help out! Nic & I really appreciate it. Thanks again, Nate and Jen, Mom, Trent & Monica & Eddie and family. We love and appreciate you!

Thank You

Thank You for the dinners this week, Jessica, Gregg and family & Monica, Eddie & family. & Kim W for the delicious chicken. It really is a big help to have these.

I was looking through my friends blogs & stumbled across a friend of a friend-- He went to Jr High & High school out here with me.. I DIED watching this little blog blurb of his. Cracked me up-- Give it a view.
