I got a call last night from my mother. She wanted to let me know that my grandfather had a heart attack. He is 77 years old, so it shouldn't have been a big shock, but it was. My sister and I were just talking a few days ago about how lucky we are that we have grandparents as healthy as these. Neither of them has any chronic illnesses, and they take no daily medication.
I went to the hospital to see him today and he seemed to be in pretty good spirits....good but tired. I was getting dirty looks from the ICU nurses because he kept laughing and telling stories. I guess they don't want him to over exert himself or disturb the other patients.
The doctors are planning to do a stress test today to see how bad the blockage is. He will either have a stint put in or have a bypass surgery. I am really hoping for the stint. A bypass is pretty difficult to recover from, and he is a VERY active man. Keep us in your prayers.

Holy Crap!!! I'm blogging!!

I have always been nervous to start a blog, but lately I have really been feeling this need to leave my mark. It may just be one tiny little corner of the internet, but once it is here...it is here.

I spent the weekend in Dallas with a TON of awesome ladies from SJ! I gotta tell you it was one of the funnest weekends I have had in a LONG time! The scrapbooking was fun, the pig running was funner, and the poolside chats were the funnest! I have some really great new friends as a result.

When I got home I was expecting to walk into the house with the kids yelling "Mommy" and Josh excited to see me. This was not the case at all!! Nobody was home when I arrived. When Josh and the kids finally came home, Jenna gave me a kiss and Brody ignored me. It took him a good 2 hours before he would even talk to me. He hadn't had a nap, and he was really cranky. He was more interested in going swimming than saying hi to Mommy. Oh well, c'est la vie!

Until next time!
