A lot has happened since the last blog. C started Fall Ball. They had Opening Ceremonies and K was introduced as part of the board for the first time. :) Its fun to watch out little family become so immersed in the community and events. PTA and LEAYSA are lucky to have us ;)
Here is C during the parade and with K before her game:
Here is K and the rest of the Board at Opening Ceremonies:
We have had some BEAUTIFUL weather. We were able to go to Granny's house and swim without dying of a heat stroke. LOL It felt amazing out side. C and J (my nephew) were excited because the pool at Granny's apartments only gets to 3 ft deep so they could go anywhere they wanted. It was a blast playing with them. I love Granny so much. I talked about her in a previous blog....here she is with me and the kids. <3
And Super Sooner had to save the Longhorn Princess:
J came over to spend the night. We had so much fun (of course). The picnic and park was probably the kids' favorite part. They LOVE being outside. It was hard to bring them back in. I cannot begin to express how much I live these 2 kids. They are my entire world. I love J so freaking much. I know he doesn't come to my house as much as C goes to his, but I do love him oh so much!!
Memaw had her 70th birthday party. It was a surprise party. I know, some of you are wondering why in the hell we would want to surprise a 70 year old woman....we could kill her with excitement. Well, when you see the pic you will understand. She doesn't look her age at all. (Granny doesn't look almost 80 though, does she?) At least I have that to look forward to...people in my family look young when they are geezers. LOL Most of the family came together and Memaw loved it. I will try to post the video of the surprise....all the women cried. We are an emotional family for sure. LOL
That is Memaw with all of the kiddos she raised. My Aunt Marie isn't there, she passed away before I was born, but this is 5 of the 6 children she raised. I only used Marie's name because she is no longer with us. Some people in my family say that she and I look a lot alike :) I like that. Here is the video of Memaw:
My Daddy and I had time to grab a shot of us too...LOL. He isnt a huge fan of pics but he gets over it and puts up with it for me <3
Oh, and who can forget TEXAS FOOTBALL FRIDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? My favorite day of the week!!! #LoboProud
But now to the stuff this blog was made for.....Surgery. In 31 days I will be in the hospital having surgery. Holy crap. That terrifies me. I am excited and happy, but there are so many unknowns. What will I look like? How will I act? How will K react? How will C react? Will my family be able to handle the "new me"? Will I be able to? What will I wear? Will I have a ton of flabby skin? Will I be able to push through the workouts and survive?
So many questions. I truly hope all of my friends stick by me. I do love them all. I have my GI appointment Monday. I will schedule my EGD for Wednesday. I hope Wednesday. It would be the perfect day. My boss would already be in my office and I wouldn't have to super plan for anything. Luckily since my insurance is through the hospital I work for, I get a discount on procedures done in my or sister hospitals. All of this will be done at our sister hospital. Sometimes the EGD isn't covered by insurance, but since I am an employee and am having it done in one of our facilities, I get it covered. HUGE blessing.
K and I were trying to figure out how we would pay the hundreds of dollars we still owe towards my surgery. Thank Jesus we decided to open a Flex Spending Account this year. It is going to save our butts. We have just enough left over to cover the rest of what we owe the bariatric center and to cover what insurance wont of the EGD. This is many prayers answered for sure.
Oh man, in 14 days I start my liquid diet. HOLY CRAP. In 14 days I will be married for 6 years. I kinda like that the hard work for the new me really begins on our anniversary. We haven't had a smooth road to where we are now. Lord knows that K and I have both made some mistakes, but the hard work is worth the end result. In our marriage and this surgery. They will both be healthier because of the work we put in.
I love you K, with all of my heart. I am so glad you have stood by me through thick and thin. I hope I make you proud after this surgery.
