Are you calling me a lame blogger?

I know, I know, it has been awhile.

So, to make up for lost time, I will add an assortment of pictures, stories, and what nots.

Jammie time

Ugh, sigh, (wiping my tears) We finally found Zoe a REALLY nice home. My only regret: I want her back! :-)
Long story, my friend that took Zoe had to get rid of her due to her insane amount of energy. We found a young couple with no kids that will give her the life she deserves. We are going to start looking for another Dane after our trip.

Yes, we are taking a trip! We are going to Playa Del Carmen, just south of Cancun. We leave in 3 weeks from tomorrow! We are going with our good friends Frank and Mandi and our kids are staying home with our family. Here is the resort we are staying at. Ah! Can't wait!

On a more serious note, my sister has been struggling with DAILY migraines. She has been seeing an assortment of doctors from general docs to neurologists, to migraine specialists, to local docs, to Seattle docs...you get it? She has done everything that everyone has suggested still with no results. She is under a very strict diet (not a weight-loss kind) but one that prevents her from eating any foods that have migraine-triggering ingredients. Let me tell you this - she is living the life no one would want to live right now. She can't have normal healthy things like lemons, lentils, or cheese (just to name a few of the thousands.) On top of that she had to completely give up all caffeine. No more coffee for her...not even decaf since it has traces of caffeine. Not only does she take care of her husband, 3 kids, puppy, my 2 kids, dinner, laundry, transporting to/from school, basketball, church, etc, but she does it with a good attitude.
Poor thing!
I am heading to Seattle with her next week for a follow up appointment.
Pray for her that she may start to have some relief from these debilitating migraines and that she may have the strength to stay positive.

On a lighter note, Sam and I will be celebrating our 7th anniversary next week! Wow how the time has flown! I can't imagine spending those years with anyone else! Not only is he my husband and the father of my daughters, but he is also my best friend!
