Quads & more

I guess I should update on my health first. The back still hurts and a lot worse now since I busted my butt getting into a pool over the weekend. I have a softball sized bruise on my left cheek. My whole body feels sore today. I also got some news on my thyroid. I saw my doctor last week and I asked if she could check my thyroid level because I wasn't feeling right. Come to find out I should have been taking the meds for the past year and a half!! I took them before but she told me to stop after a few months. So now I'm just thankful that it's being taken care of. It's one of those things that I will most likely need for the rest of my life like the B12. I can't wait to start feeling better. It was affecting so many things depression, tiredness, my nails are all nasty, and even some confession.
I am waiting to see the neurosurgeon to talk about surgery. I see him next month on the 24th. I'm just ready to get it fixed and move on. I hate waking up in pain. I also hate waiting to see a doctor!!! It takes forever to get anything done.
We have been really busy around here with out of town friends and our visit with the Waker quads. I had a friends from high school come visit over the weekend and it was awesome. We hadn't seen each other in 18 years back in Anderson, IN. She lives out west now with her husband and son. We also had another high school friends that lives in Tampa join us on Saturday. We hung out at their hotel pool on Clearwater beach Saturday evening. Then they came over Sunday, we watched their son so they could have a little adult time. Such fun catching up!!

I need some feedback!!

I have been working really hard on getting my craft stuff ready to sell on my on-line store. These are a couple examples of the decorated pictures frames that I will be selling. Each one I do will be one of a kind and include whatever the buyer wants.


I love the Indianapolis Colt's!
This frame holds a 4x6 pictures and can be any theme.

These are from my last trip to Anderson to visit my Nana.
I did the two's Nana's because we call Savannah Nana and I call my dad's mom, Nana too.


These will be selling for around $20. Would you buy one?

Ruby Fall's & my back

I had my third and final epidural yesterday. My back has been killing me the past few days so I'm praying for some relief. I will know in 5 days if it will work or not. The next step will most likely be surgery. If it takes away the pain I'll do it!!
We went to visit Ruby Fall's one day while we were on vacation last week. It ended up being about a two hour drive to Chattanooga, TN. from where we were staying in North Carolina. The drive to get there was beautiful with lots of twists and turns through the mountains. Here are a few pictures from our days.

They do a light show that is amazing

This was the view from the top of the mountain.

This is one of my favorite things from the cave, a little wishing well.
Our family having fun being together!
I'll be posting more pictures from our trip and some stories. We had a great time!! Of course there was a little drama, there was bound to be with 12 relatives together for a week under one roof. I was able to spend a lot of time with Matt's mom, Donna. We always have a good time together no matter what we are doing!! I'm sure missing her now.
