So Much Life Happening Around Me....

THE WEEKEND...

This past weekend I spent 3 days with the women of my family.  We had a little 'girls only' getaway at Lake McQueeny.  It was much needed time spent close to my family, and much need time away from the computer and my work.  I really really needed the break.  I laughed harder than I have in a long time.  My family is so much fun when we all get together like that, they really know how to make you laugh.

We spent time sitting around each other just talking, we sat down at the dock and laid out a bit, we went to Gruene and ate at the Grismill, and we walked around New Braunsfels and went into some antique shops.  I found an amazing antique shop that I could have spent about 1,000 bucks in on things for our house, loved it!  I know where to go when I want a little fun vintage something...

And amazing things happened in our family away from us as well.  My brother came into union with his 3 year old son again and we could not be happier for him.  My heart is with him so much right now.


We came home a bit early on monday b/c I got a call at 4 in the am from James.  He had a seizure and called me right after and he was still so disoriented.  He didnt even know where I was or why I was gone.  Scared the crap out of me to be so far away and not be there for him.  Luckily he has the most amazing parents in the world and they headed straight over to the house at 4 in the morning.  And stayed with him until I got there.  James had busted himself up pretty bad and had to get 5 stitches in his chin.  This is the 4th one he has had since weve been married.  I absolutely hate that he has to live with this, and it scares me to no end b/c it can happen anytime anywhere.  Needless to say, I was not happy until I was home to see him.  Ill be waking up super early in the am (4 o'clock) to be taking him to work for a while, and picking him up.  Our schedule is going to change up a bit!

After all of this, I finally checked my emails and such, and we found out that we got the house!  Our loan was approved.  So, this means we get the keys to our new house on the 11th of April!!!  I cant believe it is really really happening!  So, throughout the month of april you will be seeing the beginning of our new home journey!  Along with tons of amazing new sponsors with lots of things to share!  Definitely going to be a good month!

Good Evening!

PEACE,
Laura

    I'm glad you had such a good time at the lake. Your nanna didn't mention James' seizure, how scary for you. One of the bittersweet things I'm looking forward to next week while I'm in Texas is a chance to see you and James again. I just wish it were under different circumstances. Karen and I took possession of our house almost 4 years to the day you and James recieve yours.

    So sorry to hear that James had a seizure. My friend Lindsay has that happen to her and they just come out of nowhere. It's so good that good news can come at a time when you're so panicky. So happy for you both.

    I've been trying to figure out how to say what I want to say without sounding like I know everything? But here goes:

    I'm sorry you & James have to live with the occurence of seizures. It's kind of terrifying and awful when I think about it because my mother's husband actually has epilepsy and it's one of the scariest things I've ever witnessed. For me anyways. When my mother's husband has a seizure, the way his body reacts reminds me of a robot, when they start to malfunction, and just kind of bend over and hang out there. And the thought of not being able to control my body freaks me out.

    So, I really hope James feels better now and it's good that you were able to get home early to him.

    vero, yes its like epilepsy. he takes meds everyday for the rest of his life. without them he will have a seizure. i wish we could do something about it naturally but its hard with his work schedule and habits... it would take alot of change.
