Has It Been That Long??

Has it really been 8 months since my last blog? Wow. Fail. Ok, so apparently my life has gotten a bit busy. A few changes, along with a couple surgeries. Surely I could be forgiven for not blogging, right?  
So let me relay that which is currently my life....
May: Husband deploys, leaving me with all the babes and alone...oh boy.

July: Travel to Michigan with mother-in-law (who flew in from Texas) and meet husbands side of the family. Then travel down to Texas. Yes, we drove with all 4 children.  And apparently the border guards aren't so bad....Brenden took a picture of the border patrol guy on the Canadian side (both thumbs up nonetheless!) And when the border patrol guy asked Dean if he could have an apple (from a bag of them on the floor), Dean looks at the guy and says "No." I about died from embarrassment and then from laughing after we went through. Kids are a riot...
Spent approx 2 wks in Texas at sis-in-laws and mom-in-laws. Got to see hubby for 4 days. Whoo hoo!

August: Celebrate 32nd birthday. Then 3 days later tore my ACL playing football at VBS. Ambulance ride! Oy. So I spend the next 2 mths in PT working the other muscles so my recovery from surgery is faster and easier.

October: Large lump appears on wrist. What?? Squeezed in for wrist surgery to remove what appears to be a ganglian cyst. Turns out to be an irritated fat bubble....go fig. Surgery goes well. Heals fast. No problems. (Was really concerned because ACL surgery was coming and I couldn't put pressure on my wrist and thats not good if you're on crutches.)

November: Surgery on ACL. Healing very well. Kids are trying to help...but its a struggle. Thank God for friends who come over and clean and help with kids! And thank God for the wonderful ladies who are bringing me dinners until I can make them on my own again!  

So now you are caught up. Such a wonderfully busy summer. Not everything happened the way I hoped they would, but its all good! God's got this. 

Hopefully it wont be 8mths until I blog again.....lol
