Alright, so I always think "I'll blog about this or that" and I NEVER DO!!! I enjoy blogging, it's a fun way to post thoughts and family updates. So here I am again vowing to blog more... We shall see!
When I last left you, Travis was fresh out of back surgery and recovering nicely. He is continuing to heal from that, but still hasn't pressed on to physical therapy because we are still waiting for bone to grow and fuse his spine together!
For starters, Kalib is going to be 9 next week, YES 9!!! I still can't believe it!! Last week we took a trip to Ft Worth and went to the Legoland Discovery Center to celebrate. The kids had an absolute blast! Travis and I had fun, but were not impressed with prices for what you actually get to do. It cost us almost as much as we would pay to go to 6 flags! Now I know I'm getting old! I used to not care about the cost of things as much as I do now...maybe it's just that "when I was a kid..." hehe
In other news, at the beginning of the month Travis was promoted to Technical Sergent, I am so proud of him, he has worked so hard to achieve this. We have known for sometime he made it, but he didn't get to actually wear the rank until May 1st.
Over the weekend we spent a few days camping at Lake Texoma. It was wonderful! Ashlynn was fighting off a fever part of the weekend and it really hit her hard on Sunday, but we were still able to enjoy the sunny weather we had Saturday! It was a blessed time with some of our friends from church. I really think it was great for our family to unwind and relax out of the busyness of everyday life. I "unplugged" for most of the weekend and cut my self off from fb and cell phone/texting. It was so great!
God is doing some amazing things in my life lately and I am so thankful He is faithful and carries me through when I can't go on alone. I am also thankful he gave me Travis to share the weight of my burdens and spur me on when all I want to do is crawl back in bed and hide under the covers! Sometimes that sounds like a much better plan than being a grown up! ;)
I will sign off for now and let's hope it's not another 6 months before I post again!
