HI guys, guess who just dropped in!!

Well hi my little OH family! I'm actually able to check out the boards, must be quiet on the campground! LOL! I'm sitting here browsing the Internet and decided it was time to drop in on the 'family' and say hi!

Come to find out I had a couple of messages left for me in May (sorry it took so long to get back to them)

Happy to be back and hope I can come visit more often, I miss all the advice and support.

Peter is struggling with his Leukemia and I'm struggling with my weight (need to loose 15lbs to get back to onederland, and 40 total to get to goal). Unfortunately I'm an emotional eater and my emotions have gone nuts the last year (can't believe it's been that long already!). Thankfully the band has kepy my portions under strict control or it would have been MUCH worse! 

My PLAN is to get back on track in November after the campground has closed, have a fill, and go back to CURVES.
Well, gotta close up shop now and go home for the night!
So glad to be back, hope to drop in every day or so!

Hi Hope, So very nice to see you on here. I am sure you are super busy right now. The season is almost over, though. I am sorry that Peter is struggling. Tell Him I am keeping  you guys in my prayers. My family and I really enjoyed our time up there. We hope to come back next year. Thank you for being so Hospitable. Keep in tough xoxo shanna

Hi Hope,
We have missed you here! Dana & I had such a wonderful time with you in August!! I sure wish we could come up again before you close, but it looks like we will be staying close right now.Plus, we are ready to go to the Yoder Market for more goodies- almost out of cheese!!!  The area you are in is sooo beautiful!

Please let Peter know we are praying for  him. Sorry he wasn't up to spending time outdoors. I know his health is very important. Let him know we are believing- "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him!" Lam. 3:25
Yes, getting back to exercise helps!!! I can tell the differance in myslef since I have started in the gym. Not only that, it does help with our moods!!!!! You have a plan, now as soon as you can implement it! Don't forget to take some special girltime just for yourself!!!!
If you are down our way, give me a call & I will try to get-together with you, ok?!
love ya, Lil Sisterchick,

Hope,

It's really good to see your smiling face on here. I hope the next round of tests, Peter (and you) will get good news. I appreciate your emails keeping us informed. For me with my health problems, this past year seems to have flown by...and yet drag at the same time so I can imagine how Peter feels. I'm sure he will never forget the exact date (or moment) that he was told he had luekemia. I know that October 6th, 2007 will forever be etched in my memory. I remember that date better than I do my anniversary. Someday, hopefully soon, Peter & I will both be able to look back at October 2007 and it just be a distant memory.

I hope to see you on here more now that things are slowing down abit for you.

Hi Hope.  It's good to see you posting.  I hope you can visit more often.  I'm sorry Peter is having such a tough time right now.  Things were looking up in August and I'd hoped they would continue that way for you both.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay with you and we plan on coming again next year.  I'd really like to make a trip up there just for the shopping too!   I was supposed to go up there today with my mother in law, but my mother is having a chemical stress test today and they are looking at probably doing a heart cath soon, so I didn't want to be out of town in case she had a problem.  If I manage to make it up that way soon, I'll give you a call and maybe we can get together for a few minutes at least.  Good luck with getting back on track.  I know it's hard, but we are amazingly strong people.  Look at all we've done so far, you especially.  I think you have managed extremely well considering all you've been through in the last year.  As hard as it has been for Peter, it has been equally hard for you and I think you have done a tremendous job dealing with it all.  Hope to see you soon.
