Home Again!

I love to be off work and be at home where I can hang out with my family and be productive. One would think that having spent the last three days at home I would be loving it. Not so much. I did have a few friends come hang out with me. I appreciate them being there so much. In no particular order they are:


The best orange juice ever!!

Mom went all out and got me kleenex with vicks. I should also mention that put the generic vapor rub on as well. Couldn't even smell it!

I understand why they say this is addicting. It allowed me to sleep for about 6 hours last night. PTL! I'm trying to not use it today unless I have to.



And since I've been sick I haven't been sharing a bed with Josh. Last night my bed buddy was Nyquil! Love it!
And last but CERTAINLY not least...the Z-pack. It hasn't really done me much good yet but I'm confident it will once it all gets in my system!
So I know you're all jealous that I have such great friends to come visit me when I'm under the weather. Well, don't be. You can get them all for yourself here.
Have a nice day!

Still Sick!

Yes, that's right I'm still sick. And I think last night was the worst of them all. I'm pretty confident it is just my sinuses because my head feels like it is going to explode. I plan to go to the doctor this morning...which I should have done a few days ago. It's just that normally over-the-counter meds work for me. Not this time. I need to call in the professionals. Last night I didn't sleep...seriously. I couldn't lay my head down and sleeping sitting up doesn't really work. So I just sat on the couch all night. Then I got up and checked Kelly's blog. How precious is this? I love the little stuffed animal between her legs.


I'm so thankful Harper is continuing to improve. What an answer to prayers! I love how Kelly mentioned all the other families who don't have the support Harper does. It has encouraged me to pray for them. If you haven't read her dad's post you need to. He says it so well. Glory to God!

Update

I just talked to Laurie, who has been in Tulsa with Kelly and Scott. Things are better. The nurses gave them a good report. She said Harper's vitals and oxygen levels are the best they've been. Praise the LORD!!! Obviously she still has a long way to go and no one knows how long that road is but this is good news! Kelly and Scott feel very hopeful!! Stay tuned to her blog because she will be updating with more pictures soon!

Isn't she LOVELY???????????

Harper Brown Stamps

Weekend Wedding

This past weekend I was in Camden for a wedding. The wedding was of one of my friends from Fayetteville. The wedding festivities were great and things went off without a hitch. Unfortunately I was too concerned about Harper to even take one picture! I am having some other bridesmaids email me pictures and then I will post some. We left the reception early last night to come home because I was going to to go Tulsa to see Kelly today. Only this morning I woke up sick! I'm so disappointed! I hope to go sometime this week instead. So for now I'm about to eat my eggo chocolate chip waffles, drink my coffee, pray for Harper, and clip coupons out of the paper. Then I think I'll go back to bed. Hope you're all having a blessed Lord's Day. Please remember to pray for Harper but also for Kelly and Scott. They need it!

Please pray for Harper! She's in a very tough spot right now!! I pray the Lord continues to breathe life into that sweet baby girl! Please pray for Kelly and Scott, her parents! What an amazing example of faith and strength! God is bigger and I trust He will heal this baby! I'm believing it!

Our Weekend Plans

Not much going on here these days. Josh made it home safely last night. PTL! I was so glad to see him. I'm still glad. I keep following him around because I missed him so much. OK, I haven't really been following him around but I wouldn't have been opposed to it. He slept in this morning for a while and I cleaned out my parents dining room which was full of our wedding gifts. I know, I should have done that a long time ago but I really thought we would have found a place of our own by now. It's looking like when we do get a place in the near future we're going to get something SMALL and TEMPORARY so I decided to put my things in parent's attic. It's easy to get to because is off the upstairs room so I can still enjoy my wonderful gifts any time I want.

After getting that cleaned up we went to pick up his dry cleaning, make a Starbucks run (he has a gift card so we didn't have to splurge) and then go to Sonic. I've been wanting to try their $1 menu. It was pretty good. Not as great as Wendy's...can't beat it...or even McDonald's, but it was good.

Now I think it is nap time. We have a chili supper at church tonight and then a youth bonfire and hayride so I think I'm going to need my energy. I LOVE hayrides and bonfires but it is supposed to be COLD here. BURRRRR!!! Not sure how much I'll enjoy the cold. I'll just stay by the fire the whole time.

OK...well there you have it. Our exciting weekend has been summed up. The only that would make it better is if I would get a call saying Harper is on her way! I keep waking thinking it might be the day. No news yet but I know she is coming soon!

Enjoy your weekend!
