IT BEEN A WHILE...

I REALIZE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAVE POSTED ANY PICTURES BUT....HERE ARE SOME NEW CAPTURED MOMENTS!!
I WAS GONE FOR JUST SHORT OF 3 WEEKS FOR MY THIRD BACK SURGERY, DID I MENTION IT'S THE LAST ONE??? EVERYTHING WENT VERY WELL, I'M GLAD TO BE HOME!! (THAT'S AN UNDERSTATMENT)
*HERE'S A PICTURE OF LINCOLN, OUR NEW BETTA FISH..SHAKARA HAD ELLA FOR 14 MONTHS AND DIED TUESDAY NIGHT! SHE TOOK IT PRETTY HARD BUT NOW THAT ELLA IS IN NEMO HEAVEN SHE'S OK BECAUSE SHE KNOWS ELLA WAS SICK. LINCOLN WAS SHAKARA'S PICK, ALL ON HER OWN, I THINK IT'S A GREAT NAME!!
WHILE I WAS GONE SHAKARA WENT TO AUNT STACY AND UNCLE CHRIS'S HOUSE AND HAD A SLEEP OVER, THE NEXT MORNING THEY WENT TO THE PARK AND HAD A BLAST..(BLACK PANTS & PINK SHIRT PIC)








WELL EVERYONE HAS BEEN WONDERING HOW AM I REALLY DOING!!! I'M GOOD... SURGERY WENT WELL, BOTH DISKS WERE TORN.. NOW WONDER WHY I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN! GLAD IT IS OVER... JUST WANT TO GET ON
WITH MY LIFE. LIVING IN A BUTTERFLY BACK BRACE ISN'T MUCH FUN BUT IT PROTECTS ME AND AT THIS POINT IT'S ABOUT GETTING BETTER TO BE THE MOM I NEED AND WANT TO BE!!! I'VE BEEN LAYING LOW, GETTING A LOT OF REST.
10 DAYS AFTER SURGERY I WENT FOR MY POSTOP APPT. AND ASKED IF I COULD GO HOME, HE SAID YES AND I WAS SO THANKFUL BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY BOUGHT PLANE TICKETS.. MY AUNT DONNA FLEW HOME WITH ME, SHE FINALLY GOT TO SEE WHAT COLORADO LOOKS LIKE, THANK GOD FOR HER! THERE WAS JUST NO WAY I COULD FLY BY MYSELF. I HAD THOUGHT AND PREPARED EVERYONE I WOULD MAYBE BE GONE FOR 8 WEEKS BUT I HERE I AM AT HOME, LOVING BEING HERE WITH MY MONKEY.
OUR NEIGHBOR CINDI PICKED MY AUNT AND I UP AT THE AIRPORT AND THEN SHAKARA GOT THE SURPRISE OF HER LIFE, HER EYES BUGGED OUT AND HER MOUTH DROPPED. ALL SHE COULD SAY WAS "MOMMA". THAT'S WHAT MAKES MY WORLD GO AROUND, MY NOT SO LITTLE GIRL...SHE'S GETTING TOO BIG!!!
SOME MORE BIG NEWS...SHAKARA HAD A LOOSE TOOTH BEFORE IT LEFT SUNDAY NIGHT SHE TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO REMOVE THE TOOTH... GO GIRL!!! ONCE AGAIN THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME AND GAVE HER ANOTHER $5, WOW I THINK I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN A DOLLAR!!
WELL NOW THAT I'M HOME I WILL BE POSTING PICTURES MORE OFTEN, HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE, I KNOW THAT MY FAMILY IS TRULY BLESSED AND THERE'S NOTHING ELES THAT MATTERS, SO AT THAT... TAKE CARE.
