Encouragement without saying a word.

We have these AWESOME neighbors, a couple are crazy but one neighbor we have is just great. I started to clean up the property line between them and us the other day. There was garbage that blew there from the winter, dirt and rocks from plowing, lots of old dead vines and branches, a down fence, well you get the point. So I cleaned alot of it up and raked it all up burning the brush and garbage. We trimmed a few trees. Well our side of the property looked really good. Then yesterday I realized that there side of the property line looks great, they raked and trimmed things up, fixed the fence and it looks awesome. Who knew that encouragement can be done without saying a word :)

Today

Today we got some landscaping timbers set into place and almost finished the back porch floor. We have a long road ahead of us. We intend on finishing the back porch, landscaping, including planting flowers and making flower beds, finishing the siding on the house, adding another porch on the side and cleaning up the inside back porch. This house must sell soon, it is getting small for us. I pray that God leads us in the direction he wants.

My Love :)

Ah my love is 34 today, Yup, 34. We have been together for 15 awesome years and married for 13 years, LUCKY 13 ;) He is the Light of my life, The SunShine when the clouds are over head, The Sugar in my Not Tea that I can't drink, The Beat to the rhythm I walk to, My encouragement to get through life, labor, sickness and more. He's the man that said "It's my fault the mower blades should have been sharpened". He deals with my obsessions, my mood swings and my ugliness to myself. I love him. He is what I wanted all my life, He is my everything. My Love.

And the story of my life goes on, LOL

Last night I was in the hospital! Yup, what a ride. Yesterday I got over zealous and decided that I needed to get off my fat butt and get some exercise, so I thought I would push mow. It started out that I was going to just push mow the front of the house but it looked so darn good that I mowed more and more and more until I had push mowed almost 3/4's of our whole lawn. I was tired a little but I had taken lots of breaks and stayed well hydrated, I know I'm out of shape. After I stopped mowing I had flutters under my breastbone, had a hard time breathing and a ton of pressure on my chest. No pain anywhere but it made me nervous so I called the Dr.'s office and they told me I needed to got to the ER. Well it turns out after 3 hours in the ER and a HORRID drink of Lanicane & Malox that I have extreme Acid Reflux and I had overexerted myself. My male nurse told me I just did this so hubby mows from now on, lol. The funny thing is we have a riding mower in very good running condition but I was to anxious to get my rear in gear. Now I have to be on a diet, YAY. No tea, decaf or caf, it's a total no no. Goodbye to most of my loved food. Maybe now I'll lose some weight, NOT!!!
