oh yeah....

i almost forgot to update everyone else!
HOW SELFISH OF ME!!!!!!!!

Melissa and Dustin are due right around our 1 yr anniversary.... december 5th through the 7th-ish....
she has been having SUCH a rough time, throwing up lots and having a really hard time keeping anything down.... i feel really bad for her, because i remember how that feels (when i was pregnant with Taylor.....) fortunately, this time it was NEVER that bad for me as far as throwing up goes.... Here's to keeping your food down, Meliss!

As for Poppa, he had both sides of the thyroid removed, was a little out of sorts for a while, but seems to be coming around.... still a little touchy, but the swollen neck is DEFINITELY going down!!!
He goes for his nuclear endocrinologist dr's appointment next week to start his new iodine free diet for a few weeks.....
after that, (in a few weeks) he'll have his iodine test done to see if it has spread anywhere else.... we are hoping and PRAYING that all is okay there.... Please keep Poppa in your prayers!!!!

If you know anyone in the market for a new car, let them know we have the perfect one for them!!!! We will be selling my 2003 gray jetta here shortly.... it's got about 75000 miles on it and we'll be putting it into the shop for major tune up before we sell it. we'll get it in great shape for it's new owner! I have pictures available for THAT too....

I got to visit with Summer and baby Kai earlier this week (thursday) for a little while.... Kai's getting so big already!!!! Summer looks great (as always)..... always a good time seeing them.... they are just the greatest, loving, happiest little family ever! she always has really great ideas as well.... loved, loved LOVED their maternity pictures on the beach.... Many great wishes and prayers for their loving little family!!!!

As for now, i think i've worked my brain to its max at 813 am....
i'm going to rest now....
for real....
