I got my date


I had my pre-op today for Gastric Bypass Surgery. I can't believe I got my date and that it will be so soon. So the surgery date is....(drum roll please)...APRIL 14th at 6:15 AM CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! So quick I was expecting to wait about 4-6 weeks. Anywhoo they loved me at the doctors office. They said I am one of the funniest people they have met and also they feel I am really well prepared for this surgery. YAY!

So I need lots of prayer to get through this and lots of support.

WOW

I can't believe that I am blogging. I am no writer and this is totally not my thing but everyone else is doing so I guess I will try to as well. Besides, now you far away people can get updates on the kids and stuff.

We have lots going on in our life right now. We are letting our home go into foreclosure. It is just way too small for our family and if we let it go now we won't have to pay taxes on the debt forgiveness. If we thought we could sell it in a year or two we would hang on but there is no way that the market will recover that quickly.

Dane has started up his own computer business on the side and it is really flourishing. We are having trouble balancing that between our normal lives.

I am having Gastric Bypass surgery and my pre-op is on Monday. I am really nervous and excited all at the same time. Life will never be the same again. The surgery will be about 4-6 weeks after my pre-op.

We also may be adopting a baby girl and so we can use tons of prayer in that regard. Prayer for the parents that they will find their way and be at peace with their decision. Prayer for financial reasons. We aren't sure of the total costs of an adoption of the type we are doing and so that is a little scary.

To think that Dane and I said our lives are so boring and that was about a month ago. WOW, they aren't boring anymore.



Hugs.
