Its been a while..

Sorry about that! I didn't mean to ignore all my fans out there ;) This past week has been beyond crazy.

2 Fridays ago, I got a call from my mom saying that my brother had a stroke. I didn't know how to respond at first. I was shocked. Beyond shocked, I was in disbelieve. He is only 26. I was also in the middle of a youth event so I had to gather all my things together and leave. Anyway, we get back to KC that next morning and find out that they did not think it was a stroke after all. But he had completely lose of movement on his left side and couldn't speak. We stayed in KC with him for a day then had to get back to Omaha. Well on Tuesday we get a call that he had multiple seizures and was back in the ER. We finally got back to KC again on Thursday. He is able to talk better now but still unable to walk or feel his left leg. The doctors still don't know what is wrong and he is undergoing some more neurological testing this upcoming Tuesday, so if you think about him be praying that they will figure out what is wrong and how to fix it! Thank you all, my brother, his family, and our family greatly appreciate all the prayers.

On to a lighter note, it is officially fall in Omaha! This morning we woke up to a brisk 36*. Wow! I forgot how cold it got in the Midwest so early. Time to bust out my scarfs and invest in some cute fall boots :) Yesterday, we made a trip out to Vala's Pumpkin Patch and it was wonderful! I love the sights and smells of fall and this place definitely screamed fall. We rode a hayrack ride to the pumpkin fields and picked out our very own pumpkin.:) We also partook in fresh apple cider slushes, caramel apples, kettle corn, smoked turkey legs, fresh roasted corn, and so many other things! I even got to pick up some fall decorations for our dining room table!

Oh and today is Wade's birthday! I am beyond blessed to have him as my husband! He really is the best thing to happen to me, next to Jesus. I could not imagine sharing all the ups and downs of life with anyone else. He is my rock and he blesses me each day. Even this morning on his birthday he got out of bed first, turned on the floor heater and warmed up the room for me so I wouldn't have to get up in the cold. He is such a stud! I am so glad God put him in this world 25 years ago today just so I could have the pleasure of calling him my husband! :)

Have a blessed week! And I will try not to be such a slacker on this blog :)
