Only one week????

Of summer? And we had that 2 weeks ago when it was near 100 a few days and in the lower ninety's the rest!

It's June 15th and David and I are trying to get ready to move back to Florida. Things aren't moving as well as we'd hoped by now.
Still waiting on surgery for my knee and doctor appointments for the scar tissue/adhesions I suffer with on an almost daily basis. But no one wants to create another scar to rid my stomach of those. Looks like it may be something I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. It's no fun not knowing when an attack will hit.

Went to the free REO Speedwagon concert at the Bayfront Amphitheater Sunday, June 12, with my brother Gary and met our cousin, David and his daughter, Emily there. Had a great time listening to all the old songs I enjoyed growing up from REO and Georgia Satellite.

Tired of the pain...

...but at least now I know what the cause is. Found out the end of December that I have Fibromyalgia. The past two days have been the worst so far.

Hopefully today will be better so I can get out and enjoy some of the beautiful sunshine and warm air that Heavenly Father has provided for us for at least today.

It's supposed to get colder tonight and snow again.

Really can't wait to get back to Florida. I just wish it wasn't taking so long for my SS hearing.

I'm getting so frustrated by the entire situation.

Dakoda enjoyed showing off his tumbling skills for Nana and Papa on Sept. 18, 2010. That was until big brother tried taking over all the attention!

He is such a ham and we enjoy the time we can spend with him and his big sister and brother.

It's been a cold, wet weekend.
Went to my first arena football game Friday night, Erie's Storm played Richmond Virginia. It was a lot of fun!
Saturday we went to the Erie SeaWolves first home baseball game. Only $6.25 got us ticket to the game, free ballcap and a combo meal at Arby's! Great deal! Planning on the next Friends and Family event on May 22.

Katelin is thinking about moving in with us. Although she's a bit torn about leaving her mom. She'd be better off with us, where she'd get lots of attention from her dad and me. We'd love to move back to Florida by the end of summer. Might still do it even if she decides to stay with her mom. She needs to let us know before we take the $$ to file for custody.
Then again, if we file, and win,she might just have to come with us.
I'd love to have her here.
There is so much I could do with her. She loves learning new things and wants to do some crafts. Can't do it if she's not here that much.
Right now all we see her is on Sunday afternoons.

I really want to go back to Florida. I'm not adjusting to the store here in Erie as I'd hoped. Although things have been going a bit better the past couple of months. I'd still rather be at the store in Gainesville if I have to work.

Missing my kids who are both in Florida now.

time sure flies....

when you are busier than ever!
Only 7 days left of work with Office Max here in Gainesville. Doesn't seem like I've been with them for 3 1/2 years already.
Hopefully I will have a job waiting for me in Erie, even with my limited availablity.
We will see.

James Nash, from Wal-Mart's garden center passed away today. He left the store shortly after David. Evidently he's been fighting cancer. Today it took him home to Heavenly Father. He was a great person. Always on the positive side. Never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Always had a smile for me when I walked past him on my way home from work and would give me a quick handshake or hug as I rushed on to see David before continuing home.
We haven't been in contact with him since he left the store. Didn't know how to get in touch with him.
He will be missed.

Found out also that Sister Hiler from 2nd Ward passed away yesterday. She had been fighting a brain tumor for the past few months. Her funeral is tomorrow. Won't be able to attend though because of work.

yardsale success....

We had our *moving* yard sale today. It was fairly successful. Got rid of the larger items at least and some of the smaller things.

Would have been nice to have gotten rid of more.

We did get to spend most of the day with Brandi, Mike and the girls.

today...

I was finally able to get to a dentist. He said that he'll get as much work done as possible before our move the end of the month.
So much work to get done though. Comes from not have insurance or $$ for so many years to keep up with the routine work that should have been done.
I've become very self-conscious about my teeth and rarely smile anymore.
David and others are always yelling at me because I don't smile. It's embarrassing though, so I rarely do.
Hopefully I'll be able to do it again real soon, without being so self-conscious.

It was funny, when the dentist, Dr. Hughes, walked into the room, I said "I know YOU!" He looked at me and realized he knows me too! He is a regular customer at Office Max, and I never knew his job. He always is in his scrubs, and I just assumed he worked at UF, like so many other people around Gainesville, but here he has his own practice!
