Tuesday I threw my back out. I mean dropped to my knees, in horrible pain. I yelled for Brooklyn to come up stairs so she could grab me my phone...she was too busy watching a movie! Anders was on my bed and the other kids were at school. I army crawled to my phone and called Svend in near hysterics. I could not move at all. He left the city and rushed home. I caught my breath and "calmly" called my friend, Kelly Barton. She headed right over to help me. I was able to get a shirt on before she came-whew- and walk backwards down the stairs shaking to open the front door. HOW EMBARRASSING! I am so grateful heavenly FAther let me have friends here!
when we moved, I didn't want to make any real friends. I felt like we didn't belong any way...and we'd only be here for 2 years MAX so why try. I am so grateful for Shelly Passey and Kelly! They are lifesavers and I am so blessed to have them as friends.
So, my week was shot. It was spend barely moving...and not leaving the house. I had some friends take the little girls for me just so they didn't have to sit and watch TV forever.
Speedeo died today. I am sorry. I know I killed him. I know I am the one responsible. I was tired of taking care of him!So...I neglected him. He's dead now and Bergen is heart broken. I mean HEART. BROKEN!! Tomorrow I promised him we'd make a poster of Speedeo and all our memories. Number one being how he obtained the fish!
He just came in my room in tears about the fish. I asked him if he wanted to pray with me. He said "I already said a prayer" then, in sobs he said "It is going to take forever for china to get the real church!" Love that THAT'S what he's praying for ;)
Svend has officially completed all surgeries for us to leave! WAHOO! the rest are just extra in the bank. no contract yet. I am sooo frustrated. Svend said he WILL be texted Dr. Hayes tomorrow and asking directly about it. you know, I'm glad both guys are laid back, but there comes a point when you NEED THE FRIGGIN CONTRACT!!
WE are headed to Texas for Christmas. Svend got that week off. Whew. House/neighborhood hunting!! :) Soo excited!
Ander's baby blessing was last weekend. Everything went really well. only a few little "frustrating" moments. All in all it was a good weekend and I'm glad both sets of grandparents could be here to witness it.
There is such a relief that has come over me with this being our last child. Sad to think it's over...but I feel like I can just have fun and play. I don't know what was "hanging over me" before but it's been lifted. I still feel a little guilty deciding we are done, but all in all I think it's the best decision for our family and my body.
