How did that happen!?!?!

I was looking at the blog today to find another blog that I like to follow and realized that I haven't written anything since October 31st, 2014!! That's 4 years!  I guess that writing everyday for 30 days just did me right in :).

So what has happened in 4 years.  Let's see.  Isaiah, Rylee, Trent, Ian and Easton were all born. I moved out of Rachel & Ryan's to a place out in the country (a little bit farther out than I'd like to be but a great location).  I joined the Hosanna choir and have loved singing again.

Some things haven't changed.  Still work for RPM (next week is 16 years!!!) and still have the migraines, but we're working on that.

September 2016, I was walking and injured my heel.  After seeing the doctor and trying a few things, I went to a specialist.  Long story short, I ended up wearing an Air Cast for 10 months and endured some pretty painful procedures.  Fast forward to February 2018 and I went to see an Osteopath.  One treatment and I have no more pain in my heel!  Now he is working on the rest of me and though it is slow going, I have seen some improvements in my everyday headache.  The migraines are still alive and well, but haven't lasted as long (the longest one on record started Dec 23, 2017 and ended the 2nd week of Feb.).

Hopefully, I'll get my act back together and start recording things here again.  A great thing to look over all the old posts and see what has changed and what hasn't.

I think that it is oftent the simplest gestures that mean the most to me. Last week I had the priviledge of going to visit friends for dinner. When their 4 year old boy heard I was coming he wanted to set the table extra special. So he carefully put out the plates then put out the forks and knives. When he put out the napkins he decided to make it extra special and 'crinkled' the napkin around the utensil. Just a sim ple thoughful gesture to make things a bit more special. In February at our Ladies retreat we talked about Hospitality and how we need to get out of our comfort zones and start to make our homes and churches more inviting and welcoming places. We were encouraged and challenged to not worry if our homes weren't clean, we didn't have a 5 course meal prepared, or anyother excuse that we may have thought of in the past and just obey the command to Practice Hospitality (Romans 12:13). What a blessing it could be if our children grew up without the same hang ups ...

Hannah Rose Everts July 27, 2007 7 lbs 3oz We are so excited to have a little girl in the family! (though after 6 sisters you wouldn't think so!) Because Hannah was a footling breech, Rachel had a c-section planned for Friday early evening, but got bumped up to a later time. Hannah was born at 9:56 pm. She was laying sideways and it took some effort, but sh e is here safely. Rachel is doing extremly well and looking forward to coming home. Tristan wasn't quite sure what was going on... what 13 mont h old does? He pointed straight to her nose (like he does on his doll). He now looks like a GIANT! We are so thankful to the Lord for his blessings to Ryan and Rachel with another covenant child.

On the long weekend, Mike & Karen and I decided to spend a quiet weekend together camping. (Did I just say Karen and quiet in the same sentence?!?) We were a bit smarter this year than last and brought the trailer, got an electrical site and brought a heater along. While it was quite cold at night we were snug as bugs in rugs. Our first night was not one of much sleep. The people beside us came in just before 1 am drinking and making all sorts of noise. Finally at 4 am I opened the door and told them to be quiet. (Mike was shocked awake because he hadn't heard a thing!) At 4:30 Mike and Karen went out looking for the park rangers and then went to the site and told them to be quiet. Finally at about 5am they were asleep in their tents. Karen (who doesn't always need a lot of sleep) went out at about 8 and found the ranger and by 9 he was shaking their tents telling them that they had to leave. Karen, being Karen, made sure that we got our money back for the night! Our neigh...
