Things have been busy since Mother's Day. (btw, Sydney threw up, Brogan wet the bed all the way through the sheets and many other crazies on Mother's Day, but it was still fun) The following weekend Cortney had a conference in Sarasota so the kids and I went along and stayed at a nice place on Lido Beach. It was lots of fun swimming, going to the beach and visiting St.Armands Circle for ice cream.
The next two weeks are a complete blur. Through my blog, I met a beautiful lady who had been diagnosed with an anuerysm. Our friendship bloomed instantly and we talked several times on the telephone for hours at a time. On Thursday night, May 21 we were talking on the phone and she passed on to our Heavenly Father. I have struggled to find an answer for my placement in her life as well as an answer for why she was taken from me. Please prayer warriors, pray for her dear family which consists of a beautiful husband and 8 children along with grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Also, remember me in your prayers as I continue to struggle with God on his lesson in this matter.
The following week was the last week of pre-school for Sydney. I can not believe that my baby girl is heading off to kindergarten next year. Time is precious! Then, some great friends invited us to a time share in Orlando to "get away" for a few days. The kids enjoyed swimming, mini golf, Old Town amusement and eating lots of junk food. We returned in time for a graduation party for the best babysitter ever, Melissa Colson. We all look forward to seeing what God has in store for this exceptional young lady.
Last week was Spencer's last week of first grade. The last three days of school were filled with parties, awards ceremonies and fun. He is such a big kid now! I am so excited to have the summer with the kids. A much better summer than last year!! We are going to stay busy busy busy.
On Sunday, Cortney and I celebrated our 12 year wedding anniversary. I am so totally and incredibly blessed by this awesome man. I love him more than I could ever express! Of course, we toasted to many more 12's to come!
I will return to the doctor in Gainesville on Thursday, June 11. I will mark my one year "annie"versary June 10. That will be a big day for me. I will have a CT Scan and see my neurosurgeon to confirm that all is well. Wow! I can hardly believe that a year has passed and you guys are still out there reading my blog and praying for my family. It means more than could ever be said.WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

I don't know if you'll get this since it's such an old post, you may not notice. But I wanted to thank you. The lady you spoke to is my Mother. I've read the conversation you sent to my dad and I really appreciate you taking the time to type that up for us. I know you meant a lot to my mom even though it was all so short, she told me about you a few times and was very grateful for your friendship.
