Updates

This week has been a roller coaster to say the least.

First of all, I want to update you on some of the prayers I was asking for earlier in the week. The Amber and Yazzie situation is in full swing. As it is now public record, I can say that Amber has filed for divorce. They had a custody hearing and the judge decided Amber gets her a week and Jack gets her a week. I won't go into logistics, but for the time being that is how it is going to be. Continue to pray for this situation in whatever way you feel is needed (I know people have different views on divorce). Specifically pray that no matter what happens, Amber and Jack keep their focus on Yazzie and on being the best parents they can be for her.

Secondly, as I was praying for tornado victims and those who are missing, three individuals were brought to my attention...Will Norton (who I mentioned in a previous post), Skyuler Logsdon and Ryan Hamil. Will (18) and Skyuler (15-months) were both victims of the Joplin tornado; Ryan (3) lived in Piedmont, Okla. It is with a heavy heart that I bring the sorrowful news that none of these boys have survived. However, I am saying that it is a blessing they were actually found because now the families can have some sort of peace. Ryan's younger brother Cole (15-months) was also killed in the tornado on Tuesday night. Ryan's pregnant mother and 5-year-old sister are still in the hospital, no word on their condition at this time. So continue to pray for all of these families as they are recovering from the tornado, as well as preparing to bury these boys.

Now some semi-good news. Little Kate McRae I also spoke about started chemo this week. They were afraid that her white blood cell count and her platelet count would not be up enough for her to start chemo this week. HOWEVER, not only were they high enough, but they returned to completely normal! How cool is that? She has only had some minor fatigue and abdominal pain with this round. God is so good! If you want to check out Kate's blog (as written by her mom, Holly), go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mcraekate and continue to pray for this family.

Thursday night I went to Fayetteville to see Lauren and we went to The Band Perry concert and froze our butts off because we didn't take jackets with us (yeah, we're smart like that). Words can't express how much I love TBP! This was my second time to see them live and I fell even more in love with them!

Then I got up yesterday morning and got to get my hair cut. I was excited because it's been 5 months since I last had it cut and that kinda disgusts me. I try to go at least every two months because my hair grows so fast.

I went shopping today and got a few new things for my closet. I bought Caiden some Plum Organics baby food to try out, so I'm kinda excited about that. Anyway, that's the gist of my last couple of days. Kinda boring.
