Good News

I received a message while I was at work from my doctor's office. It was a short and sweet message. The nurse said that I have no new lesions and the MRI looked stable. Woohoo!! Praise God! Thanks again for all of your prayers.

First Competition of 2012

The marching band had their first competition on Saturday. Their show is called "Alice." I think it is  a great show. The color guard is Alice. Their uniforms are super cute and look really good on the field. I will have to get a better picture of the full uniform. I got this pic off of Facebook.

They performed very well. I thought they were the best! They placed second in their class and received best visual. I think their show was so great. And it was only the first competition so they are going to keep getting better. It really is amazing to see what these kids can do. I am so proud of all of them, especially this one. :)

Follow-Up Appointment

I had a follow-up appointment with my neurologist yesterday. It had been about 7 months since my last one. First of all, how long do you wait in the exam room until you poke your head out and make sure they haven't forgotten you? 20 min? 30? I decided to just wait it out. Doc came in and after a brief exam, he thinks I am still doing well. He wants me to continue what I am doing. He did order an MRI because it has been over a year since my last one. If that one comes back ok, then I don't have to see him again for a year. I can come back sooner if there are any issues, but he thought everything is looking pretty good. I am feeling relieved to have that part of it finished. I am still going to be a little nervous until my MRI results come back. I'm not extremely patient or good with the unknown. (Working on getting better.) I will post another update in a week or so after I hear about the results. Thanks for the prayers!

Our Non-Camping Labor Day Weekend

We had plans to go camping for the holiday weekend. Well, there was a little problem with these plans called Hurricane Isaac. There was a 70% chance of rain and storms. So, we decided to skip the camping. Storms in a tent are no fun!

Saturday night we got the local family together to eat and play games. The kids played Monopoly and some video games. The adults played Apples to Apples. It is a fun game that always leads to lots of laughter.

Sunday, we went to church and had a wonderful service. We went to Taco Bell afterwards. My kids say it is kinda tradition. I may take them there way too much. :) We went home after lunch and just relaxed. It was a good day.

Monday, the kids and I worked on the house most of the day. I am trying to clean the kitchen tile and grout. It wasn't sealed when we bought it and apparently you are supposed to do that. Who knew?! We also went to a local church's family day. They had tons of bounce houses, petting zoo, pony rides, food, dunk houses. They had activities you could do inside, too. One station was make your own duct tape wallet. 

Another was make your own slime. That one was messy! They came in little bags, but got transferred when we got home. Little Bit said then she could poke it easier that way.

We were very disappointed that we could not go camping. However, I think we still had a great weekend. My favorite part may have been playing Apples to Apples. What was your favorite part of Labor Day weekend?
