HEart Ache

Gretchen is one of my best freinds from college. On Sunday a freind of ours who lives near her called to say that Greta's mother had fallen and was in a coma please pray. Gretchen flew home on Monday. Her mother had apparently suffered some kind of stroke or seizure. She was unconsious before she hit her head on teh concrete floor where she recieved two skull fractures. When they ran test on Monday they found that she was completely Brain dead and a painful decision was made.
Gretchen has been through a lot this year. Earlier this year her husband of several years ask for a divorce. It turns out he was cheating on her. They got a divorce the day before their anniversary. SHe is with family but will return to her own home on Thrusday. She is tired and worn. Please continue to pray for her. She is going to need our love and support to get through these trying times.



The girls during happy days. (Gretchen is the second from left standing)

Yes, she could. The whole family could. It's very sad, and even Coco (the dog) is very lonely and confused.

BTW, if I remember right, I took the picture, which is why I'm not in it. Poor Gretalein.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
