Happy Monday!

Hello all! Well, the grandmothers have had a tough go at life here lately. As you all know, Phyllis has been very ill lately, but we think is slowly improving. She had an appointment with the Cardiologist this morning at 10 so we will know more once we hear from her about that. We went up to Arkansas this weekend and we were really relieved just to go and see her and see that she seems to be doing a little better. She gets tired very easily and winded pretty quickly, but I suppose that is all to be expected when you are dealing with heart problems. In the meantime, we continue to pray for her recovery and we continue to be so grateful that this problem was caught when it was. My Mom was diagnosed with Osteoporosis recently and goes to see a specialist about that next week and she also developed another bladder infection over the weekend. She seems to get 2 or 3 a year now for the past couple of years for some reason. Hopefully that will get better and not into her kidneys, so we pray for her recovery as well.

Maybe it's my hormones talking, but when things like this happen to your family, it really gives you a reality check and you realize that family is the most precious gift we all have in life and I am certainly thankful for mine. I've lost a lot of my family in the past few years, so I am very thankful for those who are still here and very thankful for Davin's family, as they are my family too. I think we should all give thanks for our family, friends and loved ones not just at Thanksgiving in a few eeks, but everyday and cherish the time we have together and take advantage of all the opportunities we have to make memories together. In addition to my family, I am VERY grateful for our AWESOME surrogate family of friends we have: Denisha and her family, Mike, John and Ashley, Erica and Casey, Pat and Angel, Taryn, Jason, and so many others who really do mean the world to us! You guys are WONDERFUL and we love you all very much!

Okay, I'll stop being mushy now....I have some really cute pictures from our visit to Arkansas that I will post either tonight or tomorrow because I don't have to work tomorrow due to the Veteran's Day Holiday! And on that note, let us all give thanks for all the brave men and women who have served and who are currently serving our country! God bless them all!

Love,
Spencer
