yes, i'm still alive. :)

1. It's been awhile since I've blogged. Been busy, but really I just haven't been in the mood.
2. The girls and I are heading to IN this weekend. My family and friends are taking part in Light the Night Walk in Indianapolis in honor of my daddy. I am really looking forward to it. I know it will be very special and my dad will leave the walk feeling loved and supported more than he probably ever has.
3. I am working at Kohls now, for those who didn't already know. Just Thursdays and an occasional Saturday morn. Only a few hours a week. It's been good, but I can say I don't love it. Not yet anyway.
4. Kenah Jo had allergy testing last week. Tested negative for anything and pretty much everything. This means we still don't really know what is causing hives. Dr. sais it could just be any underlying infection that may come about from time to time. In most people, we'd never know there was anything but because of her IGA issues, it "works itself out" through the hives. I dunno. Still confused about it all, to be honest. Also, her tubes (in her ears) have already fallen out. They are supposed to last about a year. She's had them 4 months now. The icing on the cake? We still have $700 to pay for that surgery! Isn't that awesome? Ha. She's had an ear infection (as of last week). Dr. said we'll wait to see what happens through the winter. Hopefully we don't have to have another surgery.
5. My sister had a pretty involved knee surgery last week. I'll be staying to take care of her for a couple days next week. I'm looking forward to that too, actually. I haven't spent time alone with my sis for years.
6. I'm so imperfect. Inadequate. Selfish. Unstable. Superficial. I feel so unworthy. Today I am speechless because I realize my God and the ones my God has given me love me anyway. Wow.
7. I'm thankful for friends and for family. The ones who love me for me. The good, bad and ugly. The ones who love me in it and through it. Know that I love you for it.
8. Here's the verse that God's given me just this week... Proverbs 3:5&6 "Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track."

More later. :)
