Wow, the last six weeks have been a blur. Often I feel as if my entire life is a blur. I also continue to take on more and more with out knowing how to stop. With that, Noah and I are taking foster classes with the hope of adopting. I want more children so badly. I want Hannah to have someone to talk with about weird parents or to fight with and it be a "fair" fight, I want her to have someone to talk with, call when they are older, and share memories and toys and have a sense of no matter what I have a sibling that is there when the going gets tough. I know that at any time God could heal Hunter and they could share those things, but I also know it might be his plan not to heal Hunter. I have decided it would be too scary to have another child, sometimes I do "dream" about a baby, even know what Iwould name her/him. It brings such mixed emotions. Then I think are you crazy, your life is crazy enough. Which brings me to Hunter....

He was in an episode a week ago- it was short and mild. He came out - now he is back in another one- not so mild. It started the first day of school. He also has a tummy bug. YUCK! he has learned to say Yuck.

Hannah is doing well. We are going for a short labor day beach trip. It will be the first time this summer she could go swimming. We are going to the Isle of Palm if any one knows a good place to eat- we would appreciate the info (especially Tina).

Oh yea, Our cat is in HEAT!!!! HELP ME, it is crazy. its sounds like it says Hannah, Noah and hello sometimes. Really creeps me out.

Do you ever wonder why we have to wait. I feel like all I do is wait. I feel I am patient. I feel like have to wait a lot. So what is God trying to teach me. Or is he, maybe it isn't his perfect timing, maybe not the right decision, who knows. I am thankful I have HIM to rely on. When he answers he sometimes does so with grandeur and sometimes with sheer meekness. What ever way he reveals it is perfect. With all that said, I had 2 goals this summer, 1 to get a teaching job and 2 to find a way to continue to get Hunters medicine. 1 would have helped with goal 2. I have yet to find a teaching job so I guess I'm still waiting. God assures me in his time and it will be perfect. I know, I know, have patience. Even with his whispers of confirmation it is still my nature to ask, "Are we there yet?" Anyway on to goal 2. Today somehow in a galaxy unbeknownst to mankind a pharmacist and a doctor have found a secret formula to write a prescription a specified immaculate way in order for Medicaid to completely pay for Hunters mucho expensive medicine. I am not asking questions, just saying THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Noah and I leave for a fun weekend in Batcave. We visit there every year. We have friends who own a beautiful bed and breakfast called Hickory Nut Gap Inn. We are taking several couples with us and rented out the entire place. We are so excited to be able to get away and spend some time together with each other and time with some great friends. The only problem- of course there is one- duh- is Noah's parents went on vacation and Hunter started and episode tonight. So Noah's brother and sister in law are going to have the kids and their new baby with Hunter in an episode. I should stop taking my closest friends with me so I have a back-up-LOL.

Noah has gotten himself in a world of poop (no pun intended). Hannah has been asking for a horse. Noah gives the "dad" answer "we can't afford one honey", but daddy Hannah says I really love horses-(lip poked out and big blue eyes batting) what if I get a free one, well honey if you get a free one, a free place to keep it and someone to feed it all for free- I guess you can have a horse. Well do NOT, I repeat DO NOT underestimate a 9 year old who has had 2 open heart surgeries. She can pull at the old heart strings with about anyone. She now has a free horse, free place to keep it, a person to feed it for free and a trailer at her disposal. That's girl power right there!

Thanks for tuning in- more ramblings from yours truly when my family does something weird - which happens daily, I just would be typing al the time- if you only knew.
