Under the Sea...

My NeW BeDdiNg!

I have gone private!... and a little tip...

I am nuts! I admit it! I want to write what I want and not worry about what people think when they read it! I hope you don't mind having to sign in!
I was making my bed today and fluffing up the pillows, it is so pretty! I will put up a pic so that you can see my pretty bed set that my sissy got me for my birthday! But, I did think of one tip I need to pass on...

From now on I will not buy two pillows to put in the euro shams... I will buy the real euro pillows! I bought two small pillows at Wal-Mart and shoved them in the euro pillow sham. I have to fluff and pound each pillow to death every time I make the bed! Ugh! It is such a pain, not worth the work! I truly believe that the extra money for euro pillows is worth the time you spend making the cheap pillows look like euro pillows... whew... I already feel better... ok, off to take a pic!

Grateful

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
~Marcel Proust

I have needed to write a HUMONGOUS (isn't that a great word?) THANK YOU to all of those involved in the benefit! I came home and had pneumonia for 3 weeks and then my sister came to visit for a week, I know~ excuses, excuses!
We will never know all of those that gave so freely of their time, money, and most of all undying support through prayer and fast. We do know that we are forever changed by all of you! Because of what you have shown our family, I know I have changed. I know that I want to be a better person in so many ways. It has really made me step back and reflect on life and what I need to be changing personally. I wish I could give all of you a big hug and a thank you personally.
Eli is doing very well, he spent five days in the hospital last week due to a complication from a previous surgery... I think we need to expect some kinks here and there. Other than that he is taking his medications and looking like a healthy young man! It is so amazing what modern medicine can do! After all of this, I look at him and can barely believe all of the months in the hospital.
We are truly blessed by our Heavenly Father! He led us to Saint Johns... I truly believe that. I love you and miss you all!

~Valentines and Cupcakes a la Princess Becca~

The princess and I had a blast making these "fancy" Valentines! They took a few days of fun... I told her that since we had worked so hard on the Valentines that we should just buy the cupcakes... NO WAY! She was not going for it! We whipped out Aunt Jana's wonderful cake recipe and made 24 "fancy" cupcakes, just as my Princess ordered! She did most of the decorating! She told me that her teacher loved them! Yay! She had a fabulous Valentine's party with all of the goodies she could handle... Priceless :)

Lunch with the boys!

Grayson had early release today! Eli went with me to pick him up and then he took us to lunch at Barros Pizza. It was so good, the food and the company :) It is such a wonderful feeling to be with two of your favorite people, and they turn out to be your children! ha~ My veggie pizza never tasted so good :)
p.s. Eli has gained 28 pounds since the transplant!!! Doesn't he look good?!
