FINALLY...I Blog again! :)

Okay sooo....its been forever since I got on here, SORRY! I'm on Facebook now and keep in touch with family and friends there ! Anyhoo...lots been going on. MANY BLESSINGS... Tylers home safe from college for the Christmas break ,the cantata is over at church, I'm done Christmas shopping,Billy is off this week on vacation, and someone has offered to pay our mortgage in January since I've been out of work!!! God is good...ALL the time!!! I'm still home recovering from my surgery...its been a month ago today. I really overdid things yesterday (with cantata day) and woke up at 5:30 this morning hurting bad. Long story short is strong medicine and a super hot bath helped me go back to bed at 7:30!!!! Am I ever going to feel better and myself again?!?!?!? :) Everyone that has gone through this same surgery has said it takes time but I will be so glad in the long run. UGH! Hope you are all well and ready for Christmas. What a great time to be thankful for family and friends! Speaking of friends, please pray for traveling mercies for the Knutson family.(and all those that may be traveling this week to be with family) Merry Christmas!

Transiberian Orchestra November 8th Concert

I can't believe i've forgotten to post these from the concert. Wow if you've never been you gotta try it. I told someone it was like a musical, a church play, a rock concert, July 4th fireworks display, a symphony all in one!!! It was so incredible!!!!! We stayed late and Bre got autographs on her shirt and Billy bought two books and we got them autographed. We have the video of them doing that so i will have to see if i can get that posted on here. Billy and Bre had been before so were huge fans.....it was my first time but I will definantly BEG to go back!!!!! We ran into Misty and Brandon there and i took some pictures but after emailing them to Misty i must have deleted them. It ws fun seeing them!

I SURVIVED !!!! Thanks so much to everyone that prayed for me during my surgery. Please continue to pray and ask God to heal me completely with no infection. Everything went really well!!! I have 21 clamps going across my lower abdomen and am VERY SORE inside. But thank God for pain medicine, and a nice place to rest. (who doesn't like going home to mama and daddys?!) My wonderful husband is doing some much needed home repairs (thank you beyond thanks Jeremy for helping him) and so we felt I should come here to be free of the sounds/smells etc......I've been given some wonderful gifts, flowers, cards etc...Thanks so very much. My aunt Rhonda brought me the yummiest homeade vegetable soup. It was just like eating Grandma Talleys but better!!! : ) You can call my cell, text or email me anytime. Just keep praying! Love ya lots.....................GOD LOVES ME! He shows me everyday!!!!!

Loving Life!

Can you even believe it?! Bre got her license and is driving by herself. I'm so sad!!! As helpful as it is at times ....I'm missing her already. She is doing great with homeschool and I'm so proud of the woman she is becoming. God has sure blessed me with a wonderful family! Tyler gets to come home for Thanksgiving and I'm so excited! Please pray for his safety on the drive home! I also just bought his flight home for Christmas.Isn't that awesome?! Please pray for my upcoming surgery, Nov.20th. BUT FIRST for our ladies meeting this weekend! I'm so very excited and can't wait to see what God will do. I love my friends and my church! AND MY FAMILY! Thank you Lord for your blessings on me! :)

BRES DRIVING!

I TOTALLY LOVE MY FAMILY!!!! Isn't this the most awesome picture ever?! We did this for my mom a couple years ago on Mothers Day! Just thought I'd share with you guys!

Bittersweet!

Well, today was my last day at work!! I NEVER EVER thought I'd say that because I loved my job!!!! But sometimes your pride and respect in self needs to be more important than the Almighty Dollar. (yes i say this til the bills come due and insurance is needed ha!) But I have a God that will provide and take care of my needs. He knows my heart and WHY I had to leave my job. I also have scheduled a major surgery that I need for Nov. 20th. PRAY FOR ME! I am dreading it terribly but know its very necessary and again...God will be with me. I have been singing the song...God is still good when the waves are high....God is still good all through the night!!! Thanks to precious Kylie for my cupcakes and pictures!! You sure cheered me up and made my day ALL BETTER. I love the Knutson clan!!! Have a super great weekend everyone! Pray for me! I'm praying for you!

Happy Halloween!

Okay Okay! So I finally gave into the peer pressure I was feeling to BLOG! :) I enjoy seeing my friend Angie's Blog so lots and figured just maybe someone may be interested in our crazy world. I've spent most of the day crying because....Bre didn't need a ride to work...SHE'S DRIVING HERSELF in HER CAR!!! UGH! Isn't that crazy? I took pictures of course and will post them soon. So basically, prayers warriors...PRAY! HA! Just kidding she does a good job. Its just so hard as a parent to let go. My kids are my world and I hate seeing them grow up. I'm anxious to see what God's going to do with their life in serving Him but am feeling them pull away from me. Tyler turned 19 last week at college and is doing great. (So great he forgets (ha) or is to busy (ha) to call me! UGH AGAIN! Well, we have fall festival tonite at church and Billy and I are going to dress up so I'm getting excited. Hopefully, Billy will play along and dress up with me. Can't wait to fellowship and be with my friends around the bonfire!!! And the weird thing is...I have a love/hate for the spook trail, too! Love you all ... Keep on Keeping on!
