Just thought I would do a quick post as tomorrow is our 11 th wedding anniversary. We have been through so much in those 11 yrs. It makes me so thankful that I have a great husband that has stood by me . He has always been by biggest supporter and cheeerleader , knowing how hard some of it had been. Having to relearn almost everything I am truly thankful that God brought us together.
Even tho we don't have alot of money this yr. We are going out to breakfast tomorrow morning and then to the Christmas Tree Festival. I have went every yr since I was 9. This is one of my favorite places to go. Robert has went with me every yr since we have been together so this will be fun for us. Then we may go to "Our McDonalds " afterwards. We went to this McDonald's on our first date,when we got enaged and every other important thing in our life.
Well, that is about it for tonight.

Its 12 here in Ohio with a windchill of 1 . A cold night!! Expecting snow tomorrow.

Saturday.November 8,2008

Well, I thought that I would really be able to keep my blog up. But I seem to get behind and never do catch up. Last Friday was My Robert's last day of work as he was laid off. We really had thought our luck had changed as this way his dream to have a good job. But the good thing is he will be called back in January.
I am so disappointed that I didn't get time to do the day book this last week. I just had too much going on with working the "Polls" on Tuesday. I was a Little upset with how the election went but we will continue to have faith in God and pray for our leaders.
On Thursday I went to see/meet my new Doctor.I really liked her and she has Great faith in God which was a BIG plus in my book. She agreed with me that I didn't need to be tested for internal bleeding. That she thinks too that I am iron deficient. For once my blood level was 12.3. I am NORMAL!!! or at least my blood is. LOL Shee told me another 6 weeks of iron treatments then I will be checked again if it is still OK then we will go from there. I am so happy !! God is so GOOD to us.
Friday night My Robert built a fire and we had all the nieces and nephews and their families over for hot dogs, smores,chips and pop. It was fun!! Robert thought one more cookout before it got cold. The kids LOVED it!!
Today we went to the grocery store and tomorrow after Church I am going to plan our menu for the week. I think things went alot smother when I did those. Monday My Robert is going to start job hunting again. I am praying everything will go well for us.
Well,hopefully to blog more later.

Well, its yet another MONDAY!! Yes,I didn't post over the weekend. I guess there wasn't much to post about and yet I was aggravated with 2 of our dogs that KEEP DIGGING out of their pen * And yes they did it again today!* I also was excited because My Robert would be home for Sunday as it was his day off. We didn't get to go to Church thanks to the dogs. Just never enough time for Robert to get everything done. We did get to go to a nearby grocery store as we are out of so much, and with Robert on 2nds I miss cooking meals.
I did get to fix a pretty good supper last night. We had pork loin, homemade mac and cheese, and broccoli /cauliflower. Tonight I am fixing him a pizza burger for when he gets home. I miss him and don't really care for this work schedule and spend alot of time alone. But then I am thankful that he has a job. Robert came home friday night and said that 11 was laid off. God I pray that it never gets to Robert. We need that job. But with the way the economy is it is hitting everyone. Besides he switched shifts for me as I have a weekly iron treatment *where I am iron defict and need IV iron everyweek to maintain by blood level* Noone really wanted to take me for my weekly iron treatment as the iv takes an hour. I have a medical port that they use as I have no veins left due to my car accident and brain tumor. This is the longest I have went without a blood transfusion. Last week my level was at 10.5 THANK YOU LORD!! He is so good to us.
We have had some really warm days here lately. Over the weekend the temps was in the 80's and of course I was outside ALOT as I know that winter in just around the corner. Robert did plant me some icicle pansies out front and they are just BEAUTIFUL. I am truely amazed by the fall leaves and the colors. The Lord is always amazing me at what He can do. I am working on what we will eat on Trick or Treat night. I don't believe in witches and ghosts but I do believe in celebrating fall and pumpkins. I do send each one of my kids a Halloween card ,like every holiday to remind that how much we love them and that God loves them too. I want them to ALWAYS realize that they are special and unique !! I love each one of them and they are all my favorite for different things that they do. I also want them to know How special that they are in God's eyes and He loves them unconditionally.
Well, my half hour is up for now. Please be patient with me as I am still new at this but TRYING!

Friday October 10,2008

Well, I am going to give blogging a try . I have read many blogs and their are a few that I read every couple of days as I enjoy them. So I thought that I would give this a try. I think I should start off by telling alittle or alot about me. So here it goes.............................
My name is MaryAgnes and I am 35 yrs old.I am the 4th of 5 children and I love my brothers and sister .They are my "Best Friends" and I would be so lost without them. I have been married to Robert for the past 10 yrs. We started out being pen pals and then friends and then life partners. We feel that God had planned us for each other. God is so Good!! I honestly feel that the best decision I ever made was marrying "My Robert". He has been my best friend and has made so many choices for me.
We have no children of our own. We wanted kids but after my accident I felt that I didn't want a child to have a disabled parent We do have 12 nieces and nephews and 4 Great nieces and nephews that I ADORE!! .I would do anything for these children.I love them like my own. I guess I should add that my oldest is 26 yrs old and my youngest is 1.
In January 2000 I had a car accident. From the accident among my injuries was a spinal cord injury.( more on my accident later) So for now I am in a wheelchair. Do I believe that I will never walk again?? NO~~ My accident was really bad and I spent 63 days in the hospital. I do not believe that My Father brought me this far to leave me like this. He only wants what is best for us. My spinal cord was not cut only bruised. The problem is that not enough is known about a spinal cord injury to know when the bruise will heal. I have GREAT faith and strive to do all that I can do on my own. Eight yrs ago they told me at the hospital that I would come home and not be able to do anything. Well, I can honestly say that I proved them wrong. I clean my own house , dishes,cook, bake,and pay our bills. I also sell Avon. Besides the watching of "My Kids".
Ok I guess I will finish today by telling you that I am from a small town in Ohio. I love to read, write letters,goto Church, cook/bake, take care of my flowers and houseplants especially PANSIES! , "play" on my computer,sell Avon ( and order for myself LOL) , and be with my family. I collect Anything of Winnie the Pooh ,pansies of course,cardinals,stickers, ink pens,address labels, purses, watches, and jewerly.
Well, I guess that is it for this post but I am sure that more will follow.
