Branson Vacation

We had a very good time on our vacation. I did end up with a little salmonella food poisioning before we left home, but I still managed to enjoy my self. We went to St. Louis 1st to see the doctor about my surgery. We got very good news. He is almost positive that he can fix me. He has a lot more experience and knowledge about my specific case than the doctors around here. I guess people come from all over the U.S. to see this doctor. So please keep me in your prayers that this is finally the end to all this. By the way I was so thankful that Tyler didn't get food poisioning. I think I got it at the Oklahoma State Fair from the strawberry crepe. That's the only thing that no one else ate with me. Usually Tyler would have been begging me for some, but he was being cranky at the time. Thank you Lord. I never thought I could thank the Lord for my child being cranky. Also another great thing happened to me when we got home. I found my wedding ring that has been missing for at least a month now. Thank the Lord.

Here we are in Eureka Springs. My brother was married in this gazebo. Beautiful there.
Tyler was the best kid ever on this trip barely a cry at all. See him here watching his movie and having a little snack. I thought it was cute.
Cosmic Caverns. I was a little scared in here.

This big rocking chair was pretty cool.

Trying to Catch Up!!!

I can't seem to stay caught up with my blog. I try though. We have had so much going on lately. Mostly me and my medical stuff. We are going to St. Louis next Wednesday to see a doctor that specializes in my problem. He is supposed to be a very good doctor so I am praying that this guy can fix me for good. It might get a little expensive traveling that far, but it could be worse. I am to the point where I just want to be fixed and as soon as possible. I need to get on with my life and I want another beautiful child and I believe I will get it. I just don't know when God's timing is. I have learned so much through this and it has been so good for me. I believe it is strengthening our marriage also. It has been hard, but God has shown me compassion. Every time I start feeling sorry for myself I try to remember that it could be so much worse and that I truly am blessed. I mean look at this beautiful little boy I have. I never thought I could love some little person so much and I must say I enjoy being the love of his life at the moment too. I know that may not last. In my devotion a few weeks ago it talked about how sometimes God puts us through trials and keeps us there until we can learn to have peace with our situation and learn to fully trust him. I have gotten much better at that, but I am still not all the way there. I'm not sure any of us are all the way there. It's a very hard thing to do if you really think about it. It's weird because it really shouldn't be hard. Well anyway I just ask that every one continues to pray for me. I know there are many people who have been and I am very appreciative. I love you all

This is my kid. I know he's a boy but you got to admit this is pretty funny. He sure thought it was funny.

We went to a parade last weekend and Tyler had a blast. I didn't get very many pictures though.



This was from Labor Day. We had a lot of fun that day. We had a little picnic in our backyard. Isn't it cute?













We also did a little swimming.
