* Friday was such an up-and-down day for me! I received my MRI results - which left me feeling happy and sad. I can't explain it. I just started reflecting on the past few years and became overwhelmed yet excited this may be the last step to feeling better. Then I grew stressed over what to do next. Steroid shots? PT? Continue massages and acupuncture? Surgery? And if surgery, what kind of surgeon and does my insurance cover them? I prayed as I scanned the Internet for answers. This of course did NOT help my hurting back. Computer time = big NO NO right now. Anyway, I was led to a good orthopedic surgeon and THANK YOU GOD I got an appointment tomorrow morning at 9am!!!! Stress gone.
* One more thing...I have been told by numerous people to go with a neurosurgeon. If you know of a good one, please pass it on. Thank you!
* Saturday morning O and I were off to "his Avery Bibb's" party. Avery Bibb is O'Ryan's absolute BEST girl friend. They attend preschool together and hit it off from the beginning. They hold hands and Avery sweetly wakes O from his nap every Tuesday and Thursday. She'll say, "O'Wyan, wake up! You need to put your shoes on." It was SO fun to chat with my girl friends and meet Avery's extended family. I ended up mostly talking with the elders about their neck surgeries they've had! Ha. Life is just funny.

* Judy and Brian came over that afternoon to go to RPC with us. Church was awesome. Patrick made a parenting sermon seem more like a comedy show. And the music rocked. I mean what church plays "Burning Down the House?" Loved it.
* My family met up with us at Outback for dinner. O'Ryan was the star entertainment for the night as always. I forgot how totally amazzzing their steaks are there!!! I had a 5 course meal for $11.99. Score.
* This morning we chilled in our PJs and played a few games of hide and seek before heading to RPC. It was our Sunday to serve at the Front Porch. Brett and O drive the kids on the carts while Mommy checks people in. Today I escorted several new families. That's my FAVORITE part of working the FP. Being the first person they encounter at RPC. I love putting them at ease when they have to leave their kids at childcare and warmly welcoming them to a safe, Godly atmosphere. We had tons of new fams today!

* Our Sunday was just getting started...we headed straight to my mom's for a cookout/pool party. My aunt and uncle and 6 little cousins came. The pool quickly became wild with that many kids :) O'Ryan totally loved being around his cousins and being crazy in the pool. I'm SO thankful for a kid who has caution built into him. It's not as stressful when he's swimming. Oh and David cooked the yummiest burgers. O and I ate like 30 "watermelon balls" each. SO YUM. Watermelon and summer just go perfectly together.
* To wrap up the weekend we held Home Team at our house. It was laid-back and chill, with great convos. If you aren't connected with a small group who regularly discusses God and all about being a Christian, I would HIGHLY recommend you try to find one. Fellowship with friends is so important for spiritual and personal growth. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead for our group. Let me know if you want to get connected with something like this! I've had several people approach me about it.
* This week I will continue to lie low, narrow down doctors, and simply ENJOY life with friends and fam!
