life's roller coaster

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I have posted. So many things have happenend. Ammy is doing great she is getting better and stronger each day. She is actually home right now on a mini vacation from the hospital YEAH!!!!! School and everything is going well. Although all is tough with Ammy I have reliezed more and more God's amazing grace. There have been many moment where God has shown his mighty power. I can't share all now but I know that God has Great plans for Ammy she is a miracle and I know that God will use her.

On another tangent a dear Family to me is going through a rough time. The Worship pastor at Tigard's position has been made part time. My heart goes out to their family. They have always been a tremendous support to me and I know that this is very troubling to them. My prays are with you guys.

School is good I am almost done with this term and signed up for next term. I might possibly take 16 credits this term we will see if that happens. Haven't decided yet. I will try and post tomorrow about the adventures we have tomorrow CG has his starwars party yeah.

Thank you's to you all

I know I haven't posted for a while but it has been to hard to post. Most of you know dear Little A went into the hospital a week from Saturday (Oct 25) with back pain and not being able to walk. After a very long day at St. V's (13 hours) we were sent to Dornbechor for a MRI. They found a tumor in her spinal cord. Dornbacher operated immediately. We were on sure if she would be able to walk again. After a little over a week of Physical Therapy and Occupational therapy A is moving so much and fiesty as ever. The doctors are amazed and A has a new trick each day for her therapist. Her fine motor skills are slowly coming back. She was able to draw a picture yesterday which is a huge success. We found out on Sunday (Nov 2) that A's tumor is Cancer. Luckily it is slow growing and the estimate is that she has had this most of her life. A had a spinal tap today so she is really sad. A will be transfered to Emmanuel on Thursday for Rehab into home. I am so proud of her. She will start radiation soon after she is done with rehab.



Thank you all so much for all your support and prayers. God is doing a miracle everyday in her. Emotions are all over the place the right now. I have reassured all the time by God's miracles. My verse of the day in google said it best it was Phillipians 4:19. (look it up if you have a chance). Sorry for the long blog just thought I should share with those who don't read michelle's blog

Bet you didn't know

While watching the presidental debate I wondered where does the vice president live? here is the answer.

In July 1974 Congress designated a house on the southeast corner of 34th Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Washington DC where the vice president of the United States would live. Located on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory, the house was built in 1893 for the Superintendent of the Observatory.
Before 1974, vice presidents either bought a temporary home in Washington DC or stayed at hotels.

life is crazy

Life is flying by. I have enjoyed spending a lot with mister C and Miss C. They are so fun. Miss C has started getting huge smiles when she see me. It makes me so happy. My Niece "Al" came up this weekend. We had so much fun spoiling her. She is growing up so fast. I can't believe she is a junior in high school. It is crazy how fast tume goes. This weekend we are going to the Pumpkin Patch so I will post about that later.

School Again

So I am back in School. I am enjoying but I forgot how much stress it is. Life just seems to be going in fast forward. I will apply as soon as my final grade comes in for graduation. I am applying finally for Phi Theta Kappa. This is a huge thing for me since you have to keep up a 3.5 and I was never good at school. I have kept my GPA up all through college which is amazing considering all that has happenend in my life while in College. As soon as Finicial Aid goes through I will apply to PSU and start there I think in Fall considering how crazy finicial aid has been this term I don't want to go through all that at PSU. Work has cut back a little bit which is both good and bad. I have more time for school but less money.

Some good thing that have been happening:

1. Have spent a lot of time with my sisters
2. Gotten to know the people in our neighborhood.
3. I am starting a Daisy troop for A
4. I am helping with TCC's Kids choir which is a blast.
5. I have really started fitting in at Potter's Hands.
6. I am begining to see the things I love about myself and finding who I am
7. I started a really good bible study When God's people pray. It's not my favorite but I think that also has to do with where I am spiritually but that is another blog entirely. Don't worry I am fine just questioning why some people have to deal with so much pain in their lives and other's don't have to worry.

sorry for the long blog it has been awhile. I will try to make the next one more interesting.

Letterboxing

So I was looking around at some other blogs and found out about this thing called letterboxings. It sounded like lots of fun. They are little scanvenger hunts all around the country. You read the clues, find the box and mark that you found it. It started in the early 1900's in England. It sounded like so much fun that I convinced my two sisters and sister in law to go letterboxing. We went up to Jenkins Estate in Beaverton. Very beautiful and found 4 letterboxes. I don't have pictures but it was really fun. Thanks to my sisters for a great day.
