REMODELING

WOW!!!! What did I start, this started before Christmas as simply repainting the bathroom and replacing toilet that was loose. But then the water would not turn off to toilet so we had to call a plumber to replace the valve and toilet, but he could not do it, because the floor was warped because of water leak. So had to call a person to come and replace floor, but leak had got under vanity. So now I get a new vanity, toilet and floor. EXPENSIVE, but I guess in the long run it would be good, because if the floor had continue leak under the tile it would have got into the front room and hallway. WOW

Christmas Time

Christmas this year for us was a little different, it was the first year that we only had one child at home. Monika and Michael are in Korea and of course could not come home for the second year. Corey and Family are in Las Vegas and were here last Christmas, and were planning on coming this Christmas but did not get leave so it was a little different. We had a nice Christmas. We opened a couple of presents here and then went to Granny's and spend most of the day. Rodney and family, Rusty, Granny and Michelle,Donald and Me. We had a great time playing games and visiting. It was the first time in a long time that Granny had all of her kids together for Christmas so that was a nice Christmas for her. I got the most awesome and wonderful gift. Granny had a quilt made for me that she had got a lot of my friends and family to make squares and then she quilted it with Grandma Hatch's thimble (Which she also gave to me). Oh what a gift that I will treasure for years. Also I got new tennis shoes and a BIGGEST LOSER Wii game, Beautiful Jewerly that was given to me with love from my awesome hubby. I got a beautiul lamp from Korea. So I had a great Christmas the only thing that would have made it the perfect Christmas would have been to have all my kids and family with me. I miss my kids so much, they are the light of my life. I have 3 of the best children in the world, a daughter-in law, and son-in-law,a grandson, a great hubby and 2 wonderful brothers, a mother, and dad and a mother-in-law. I am truly blessed. But, I cannot forget the real season that we celebrate Christmas and the Birh of our Savior.

CATCH UP TIME

WOW, where did the last three months go. I KNOW. Taking care of Donald. As of the last post he was doing good. But then on November 3rd he was Hospitalize with another Staph Infection. He was in the hospital for 7 days. He then came home and has been on IV's for 7 weeks twice a day. With a nurse that comes once a week and does lab work. He has had to physical therapy and has had a slow recovery. But tomorrow is his last IV treatment so to celebrate we are going to Las Vegas to see Corey, since his family did not get to come down for Christmas. So that kind of sums up the last three months, so we can hopefully start getting bad to normal.
