It's been so long since I last wrote that I couldn't get into my blogger account - I could not remember the password!!! I need to keep in touch a little more frequently :)
Hmmm. . . what's been going on? Since I last wrote, it seems we've been all over the world. We went to Mexico in January, I went to Nashville for a Women of Faith leader's conference in February, in March we had a birthday bash for me at Andy's in Atlanta with Jamie and Eric and just a couple weeks ago our family went on a cruise. What fun times. Easter just finished and then this week is the big April birthdays: Jamie and Andy on the 27th and Daryl on the 29th. Jamie and Eric will be heading back home the beginning of May for the summer - yay! They'll be around for their annual golf tournament ministry fundraiser. (Golfers: it's a great time - and a great cause. Let me know if you want to participate. Lots of prizes and fun.) Women of Faith is also in May - I'm a group leader, so that'll be awesome.
Next thing up is opening the lake house - I cannot believe May is just around the corner. Memorial Day's next, June is the Staveness Ministry Golf Fundraiser, the Fourth of July and then August - holy cow, life if busy. And sometime this summer, Rob's book will be published - I plan on hitting all the book signing parties!
What a hectic, crazy life. I guess that's what keeps me sane (?) I wanted to let you all know that Daryl's doing well. Actually, there's not much to report. He has been doing IV and oxygen therapy which is having positive results. We've found a couple of doctors we really like - they're positive and encouraging. Just what we needed. More healing than anything is to surround ourselves with positive and encouraging people - lots of smiles and laughing. Positive words. Good attitudes. I thank my kids and wonderful friends for these- it's what keeps a spring in my step.
D's weight and energy level are stable. He's in the office every day we're in Cherokee He can't wait to get out on the golf course. We drove out to the country club this afternoon. He is the toughest person I know - he's optimistic and he never gives up. He is amazing. I cannot wait until the day comes when he can tell his story - one with a happy ending! It's been remarkable. We will definitely never be the same.
That's all for now - I hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Take care until next time. . .
