Excited!!

So we didn't get a lot back on our taxes but we did get enough to pay off a couple loans we had from some people(which made me soooooooooooooooo beyond happy and I am sure them also when they get the checks in the mail later this week) But also we got enough to get a new computer:) YEAH!!!! our other one was not well:( It shut on and off whenever it wanted, made horrible noises, the disk drives wouldn't open anymore, etc. So we needed something soon so we could keep in touch with the world:) So we got a floor model laptop for an UNBELIEVABLE price which made it that much more exciting:) Now I am just waiting on my scanner and I will start sharing photos and stories as I said a few posts back:) I am just sooooooooooooooo excited.
As for our news of possible change nothing new yet. We did go north a few hours last sunday to a job interview on a ranch. Although it was an amazing place to live we decided not to take the job. We are wanting to get back to ranching but we are not in a hurry to just take the first thing that comes along, it would have to be the right place. But we are going to keep looking around and see what we find:)

No News Yet to tell

Well we are still looking at a few options and not sure if we will do any of them but hopefully we will know soon:)

I am still just working on recovery mostly and my left arm has started really bothering me bad, the physical therapist thinks maybe it is something wrong with the nerves or maybe something in my thyroid levels causing it to not heal properly:( I did get my levels back and they were off again so we are changing my meds once again!!! It will be a life process so I am just trying to stay positive and do the best I can, even when I feel like crud. Smile and Thank GOD for what I do have:)

Possibly some big changes coming in our lives

Well we may have some big changes coming in our lives soon. I will have to wait and see how things work out in the next week and then update y'all. It has been another trying year, especially with these arm injuries, but I have spent a lot of time lately seeing the hand of GOD even in the bad. We have missed ranching like crazy but if Eric had his appendicitis attack and his hernia we would have been in even more trouble not being able to work on a ranch. I can see so much of GOD even in the bad times. I know in my heart to trust him it is just my darn head that wants to stress and worry. I am REALLY working on that. Thank you to everyone who has stuck by us and prayed for us, it has meant more than I could ever say or write!!!! Sometimes when I say things they don't come out right but I definitely am thankful for all my blogger friends who have commented, prayed and just listened. So I will update when I know more:) I Know vague..... but guess you will have to keep checking in:)

A scanner so I can share my older pics

So I don't have a scanner so I decided to look up scanners that are more for pics. I was so excited to see they actually have scanners that do pics and negatives and you don't have to plug it into the computer if you don't want to. I have a few debts to pay first but this is definetly toward the top of my list to get. I have so many old pics and I am just worried about them getting ruined so I want to get them all on disk and also be able to share them and tell you a little more about my crazy life with pictures. I think this is the scanner I would like to get. It does up to 8X10 photos and it does negatives also. So hopefully in the next month or two I can get it and be able to share some fun things with y'all:)

Recovery

My recovery is going fine. I am still in a brace so can't use my right arm at all yet and still cannot drive, which is driving me crazy!!! But hey that is a short drive these days:) I am blessed my husband has been good to get me out of the house when he can. We went on valentines day and seen this means war, great movie. Laughed a lot, I haven't been in a theater in a long time where people laughed so hard and loud, it was great.
So hopefully by summer I will be doing a ton better and be able to do more. I can't wait to get out and ride,hike,etc. This has definitely been a trying 7 months so far. To not be able to use one arm at all and then only partial use of another makes things hard. You can't even do crafts or anything productive. So it will be nice to be better, but for now just going to enjoy books and what few things I can do.
Hoping we get more visitors this summer, it is nice to have people come and visit. Makes things less lonely:)

The Vow

The Vow is an awesome movie. It is one of those movies that makes you think and makes you appreciate what you have for sure. I am sooooooooooooooooo VERY lucky to love my husband the way I do. It is a love that is indescribable and that is unlike any I have ever felt or seen really. My husband loves me NO MATTER what!!! He has been through so much with me in these past 5 years and he loves me fiercely still!!! I can't imagine life without him. He is my everything!! He is truly my best friend and my love!!! I don't want to ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it but I can't possibly imagine that situation. I am blessed to have the love of my life and to know that THE VOW we made is the most important thing we have ever done in both our lives and we meant every word of the in sickness and health, for richer for poor, until death do us part!!! Just a good movie to remind you of how life can change in the blink of an eye and that love is enough!!!

Get to know me a little better

I got to thinking today..... I know dangerous huh:) Well I know my life hasn't been very exciting lately and that has really been getting to me. I have always been a go getter. Never liked sitting down and was never afraid to try a lot of new things but the last few years have really knocked me down and kicked me over and over while I was down. But hey that happens sometimes right. Well I got to thinking maybe I would share some of my past. I actually have had quite an interesting life in the past. I just need to figure out how to get some of the pictures on disk or something so I can make my posts more exciting:) So hopefully soon I will have some fun pics to show y'all about my crazy life:) A few pics of things I will post about....be lots of different things:)

working on different ranches

about a very special girl I had that I miss so dearly

showing

Nothing exciting

Haven't been up to much. Just sitting around the house recovering. Hopefully this arm will heal better than the last. I am just hoping by summer to be healed enough to start riding, and doing more stuff. I can't wait to have both arms to use again. It has been 7 months of only one arm injured that works so to say it has been trying is an understatement:) So hopefully in next couple months it will heal well and I can put it all behind me:)

I need to get caught up on all my blog reading. I have had a lot of nausea with all this so haven't gotten much read. Hopefully this next week. I can get caught up.

I took Kohanna to vet today and they did another heart worm test and the dot barely showed up so they gave me the go ahead to start him slowly into some exercise and then in may we will test him again and it should all be gone. Just so glad he did so well with his treatments and thankful to still have my baby here with me:)

Missing riding

I know a lot of my frustration has come from not riding. Horses and riding have always been my therapy. My injuries have really stopped a lot. So hopefully by summer I will be back to riding! I miss it so much!!!!

trying to stay positive!

I have really been trying to stay positive and keep my posts positive, but with how things have been going I would never be able to write! I am still trying to stay positive. Trying to Trust GOD and let Go and let GOD!!! But it is just one thing after another!!! I was really looking forward to 2012 but it has been one bad thing after another!!! So just trying to do the best I can and keep thinking positive but it is hard with it all the time and feeling like crap everyday. When it rains it pours is so true!!!

Eric had is his surgery the 28th of December and he was suppose to be off for 2 weeks and then light duty. well after the two weeks his boss said he won't let him come back till he full duty well who can afford to live with 6-8 weeks with no pay:( We were upset as we would have just waited for his surgery had we known. I mean he needed it but we can't go that long without an income. My workers comp doesn't come close to paying half of everything. But anyways GOD is good trusting him to help. Then he filled his aflac to help and called couple days ago and they didn't even receive it from our rep:( He has been not a help at all. Then the truck went to heck and is in a million pieces waiting for a paycheck to replace the head gasket, etc. Good thing Eric is a mechanic and can do it all to save us a lot of $ there, and then the brake in the car went to crud and stuck on, fixed that and now it has some pulley or something bad:( I could go on and on about every little thing that has gone wrong from the animals, to cars, etc. But I won't I just wanted to vent it and let it go. To try and keep my chin up and think more positive!!

I still hope 2012 brings some good changes and that things can look up. I know this life ain't easy and I am grateful for the good things I do have!!!! That is what I am trying to keep my eyes on:)

had my surgery monday

Had my right arm bicep tendon repaired on Monday. I am glad they got it fixed finally. Now it will be lots of physical therapy and hope it gets more motion back then the left. so doing everything with my left is going to be a challenge for a while:) So for now I am only up a little since I still get naucious. I can't wait to catch up on everyone's blogs:)
