For those who have read my blog the last couple of weeks, our prayers for the Hayes' have been answered! Praise be to God!!
Mr Hayes received his heart this morning and is doing very well. The surgeon "couldn't be happier" with the surgery. This is such an exciting day. Please continue to pray for the family during the recovery.
more info later...I promise!

The Night Before
Well, here it is - Tuesday. We are leaving on our trip tomorrow. I am happy to be going to Synod in Sevierville, TN. I will miss the girls, as always, but it should be fun.
The car is back! Working out the payment from the insurance company caused much anst, but in the end, it did work out, and in our favor, no less. It's very pretty! (we'll have know more in the morning - in the light of day.) The parts for the warranty work were sold by the shop, and so they had to re-order them, and they didn't them in today. So, back it will go once we return.
This wil have to be short and sweet. I hope that you are all well, and warm!

This one's for you!
My friend harassed me today about my lack of blogging. She wants something to do when she is goofing off - so Redblur, this one's for you. (and perhaps your Dianthus barbatus, too?)
Well, the news I alluded to in a previous post turned out to be no news at all. I had applied for a job within my company, and while assured I would probably get the job, once again I was the runner-up. I am not overly sad; I really had no great desire to be a purchasing agent. I really love my job, my boss, and what I do, and am happy to stay there until God provides me with another opportunity.
She-who-must-be-obeyed is doing well. She is back to her normal self, and is eating everything she can get her lips around. She is even trying to get Corkey's food away from her, and growling if Corkey comes sniffing her dish. (Isabel usually leaves Corkey a bit of her meal to snack on, so Corkey is really upset by this turn of events.) She is a fun girl to have around, and we are very glad that all went well with her surgery. Her pathology came back, and the tumor was Stage 2 Cancer, but they believe that they got everything and there will be no follow up treatment needed. Good news over all. We will just need to keep an eye out for other tumors, and have them removed as soon as we can.
I have finally made solid plans to start school. I will begin the first week of March, and will take two classes this semester (2 8-week classes). I am excited and just a little worried. I know how stressful this can be, and yet I really want to start (and finish:) ) my MBA.
We are heading to Sevierville, TN next week for the first Synod of our new diocese (which, to my delight, includes Virginia!). I love that part of TN, and am excited to visit again. (Peg, I will think of you and our trip while there!) I hope to get to do a little sight-seeing / shopping. We will be there Wednesday, and Thursday night, leaving Friday afternoon. It should be a good time.
The car is currently in the shop having its damage repaired. If you don't remember, Keith backed into a pole this summer. It was after I had been let go from my job, and the first time we had gotten his prescription without insurance. The conversation went something like this:
M: Your meds cost $40.00.
K: What?!??!
[BAM]
K: What was that?
Okay, I hope that this is enough, Redblur, it's all I have right now. Please continue to pray for our friends, the Hayes'. Mr. is still waiting for a heart, and Mrs. and the boys need our prayers, too.

She's Back!
Isabel came home at about 10:00 a.m. this morning. I am so happy to have her back. She looked frazzeled when the Doc brought her out to us, but after spending the better part of the day holding down the couch with me, she seems like her old self. We are both on the mend.
I am heading back to work tomorrow. I think the antibiotics are working, but the cough is still with me. I have, however, developed cabin fever and am looking forward to getting back to work. It promises to go fast.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, One and All!
I hope that everyone had a fun and safe New Year. I have been very negligent in keeping in touch with anyone this Christmas Season. I am sorry, and plan to get in touch...I promise! I got your message Emilie, and will be calling soon.
For those wondering, Isabel is not home this evening. She had her surgery today and will be staying overnight. We could have picked her up, but she was still coming out of her anesthesia and going to be on pain meds. Then we would have had to take her back in the morning to check her temp, etc. We figured it was better for her (not us!) to stay. She had her blanket with her, so she could just curl up and sleep. I can't wait to get her back. I think that Corkey even misses her.
I have been sick this week. I have some bronchial thing, and came home early today to g0 to the Urgent Care. I am now on antibiotics, and have an inhaler. I don't think I will make it in tomorrow - I am just run down.
Please continue to pray for our friends - The Hayes'. Mr. has been in the hospital waiting for a heart transplant. Mrs. and their 2 young boys all need our prayers as they wait for Mr. to come home.
I am starting to develop my list of resolutions...I have many things I want to work on - among them, keeping up with my friends. If you can think of any for me, let me know! It may or may not make my list, but I would be interested in seeing what you think.
