The in's and out's of everyday living...
Let me speak for a moment from my heart...
First, this past weekend Johnny and I attended a marriage retreat called Beyond Cana, It was something I really wanted to go to but never pushed it because Johnny feels that marriage retreats are for couples having problems and in his words "I think we are doing fine, but if you think we need to go, we can go, but I don't like that stuff" .... ya, so I couldn't get him to see that it was about enriching our marriage, not fixing it... his answer to that "if I do something wrong, just tell me and I'll stop" good grief...
So then Father Dennis asked us to go... he really wanted to bring something to build up marriages to our parish... I told him Johnny's feelings and he said... no worries, It's okay... Then lo and behold my husband tells me he'll go! I was so excited because some of our friends were going, it was going to be a wonderful weekend... and it was, after the first day...
...because we alllllll know how the devil likes to kick up dirt when he see's something good about to happen and we had a heck of a time getting there, in fact, I didn't actually talk to my husband until after lunch the first day because between leaving our monkey for the first time, my sister NOT making it to Noah's cowboy day and me being helpless to console him or check on him and my husbands first words out of his mouth at retreat were... "I'm only here for you" I was ready to pack my bag and come home...
I'm not saying the whole weekend was butterflies and sunshine, because it was wet and dreary, but good thing that no matter what, I want to see the best in everything... we both had different things we liked and disliked about the weekend, but one thing we agreed on was that it was nice to have some us time and leave things behind, okay...some things...
Marriage is not easy, but I am pretty lucky to have a really great guy but most of all, we are blessed to have God at the center of our marriage... A great God and a faith filled husband, I am seriously blessed beyond words....

The Great and Powerful OZ
So very happy, TJ had his bloodwork done this past Monday and his numbers were off the chart, so no isolation for this guy! I was a little stressed because he would not wear his mask, just like he would not shave his hair.... but this guy said he's hanging onto his curls until the chemo takes them... Living and loving every single moment..,
Cancer can kiss our butts!!! (and a few other choice words!)
OZ was great, and TJ is a pro on his crutches. he got his brace today, and we are facing a whole new ballgame, because he absolutely hates it. But he was the same about his crutches and I know once he adjusts, he is going to do just fine, he's a tough guy...
Camping time
With Noah's bum foot, we had to get creative this year, so his daddy and him did back yard camping with his Uncle Vinny and Kyle... and momma enjoyed the bed all to herself snug as a bug in a rug!
