I'm back!!! I had an awesome weekend. My best friend and our girls drove to ND.....about a 6 hr drive each way for us....well that is if you don't miss a turn.....otherwise it turns into more like 7 hrs like we did on Friday LOL. OH well we got there and had a blast. My BF's adopted mother owns a bar there so Sat night we went there and sang karaoke. Sadie stayed back with one of her adopted sisters and the other kids so I could go have some fun. It's been a really long time since I did that. Fri we just spent time visiting her friends....all of which I'd never met before. We stayed at a little bed and breakfast .....but waited to eat breakfast at the farm Sat morning ohhh yummmy!!! Sunday we went back to the bar...before opening...the karaoke guy came too and turned everything back on and let us sing to our hearts content. Even Sadie was singing. She came home with a bunch of his props cuz she's so darn cute in them he said. He dressed up as Elvis Sat night and about the first half hour was him singing....it was sooo cool...he's awesome. Ok can ya tell I thought he was a hotty???? My BF and I were drooling all over.....lol probably didn't help any that I never wear my wedding ring cuz it's too big...he was talking to me...came over asking me to sing again etc... I immediately turned shy...I'm never shy any more LOL. He told us we should come back...I told him yes but not in the winter because I hate the snow...he said oh heck you just find yourself a boyfriend and make love in an igloo....LOL. My girlfriend and I laughed and she said yeah that would be all fine except her husband wouldn't be too happy!! OMG I wanted to die laughing when she told him. Sadie had a blast...got to see some baby calfs on the farm and loved it. There were lots of kids around for her to play with and lots of fresh veggies in the garden for her to eat. She loves her veggies!! Sadie was sooo good in the car....obviously she's a travelin fool. We are hoping to go back again just the 4 of us in May. Good thing I had such a good weekend...cuz today sucks big time!! My mother in law came to take me to see the retinal specialist. They dialated my eyes and did the exam...he was more concerned about my right eye than the left which is what the other Dr was worried about. He said I definitely have swelling in the right and bleeding in both eyes. They shot some dye in my vein and took pictures of my eyeballs....then I had a laser treatment in my right eye right there today. It doesn't hurt really but now that I'm home it stings and is very tired. I can't see much out of that eye right now. I have to go back Sept 16th again to have him check it. If the swelling has gone down then he has a different treatment he wants to do to stop the bleeding stuff. I will have to wear a patch on my eye for 6 hrs afterwards for that one. I can't remember what it's called and I can't read the pamphlet he gave me right now LOL. Hopefully I'm not making too many typos on here right now cuz I can't see what I'm typing. Oh well he's treating it and getting it under control so I'm not too worried it's just a bummer that I have anything going on. My husband is legally blind so it's a big fear for us both that some day I could lose my sight if I'm not careful. Well, I'm done with my lunch so I'm going to go lie down and take a nap.

Glad to know that everything is at least happening, and you have a plan!!! Looks like Nate is growing like a weed!!!! Is your sleep study August 6th or is on September 6th?? In 6 weeks, you will have SOOOOO much behind you & well on your path to HEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Jamie

Not too many exciting plans here. Maybe a little yard saling. Hoping to help hubby cut up moose meat. Take my son on the 4-wheeler........... He sure digs going on rides with me, and he behaves himself quite well. It was 51 above this morning at 6:30. I think we will have snow in the next 8-9 weeks here. The leaves have been starting to fall here since last week. Been taking advantage as much as possible with the weather, it was a cool/cloudy summer here..... a real downer. But my mom told me a few weeks ago that she is going to sell everything & move to Hawaii (the big island) next year. She is going back & forth on keeping a piece of property, or buying a condo up here in Alaska..... I say buy the condo, so when you are not there, you do not have worries. If she keeps the piece of property, she will need a house sitter & I think that would be heartache. A condo, you have neighbors to keep an eye out for you. But, back to Hawaii. I would RUN AWAY every single winter over there, my mom wants to buy a house with a guest house for my family & my sister's family to come & visit. -Jamie
