Today......

So today my oldest Niece is getting married. I am so proud of her and glad she finally found a man that treats her well. He treats her so good and loves her lil boy like he is his own. They are also having a baby. They found out the other day that they are having a boy. His name will be Brady James. I am excited to see him come into the world.
back to the wedding. She is having her wedding at the church that I attend. Its the church that I grew up going to. I am excited she is having the wedding there.
Last night I went to my sister with something special in my pocket. My grandfathers wedding band that was given to me after he passed. I knew that my grandfather would want me to do this so I did. I am letting Colleen use it as her something old. We tied it into her bouquet. I almost cried as we were doing it. She wasn't but about 18 months old when he passed away. And the world revolved around her when he was alive and she was around. So yeah I knew I was doing the right thing. I will post a picture or two maybe tomorrow of the wedding.
So for today we celebrate.
What a great way to start a new life.....its going to be a beautiful Snowy day in Indiana.
tomorrow they are off to Vegas until Christmas eve!

breathing.......

Ok so a few weeks ago.....Halloween actually in the wee hours of the morning I was having great difficulty breathing. I had been with my mom and sister in law to bingo that night in a smoke filled room. I ended up at ER needing treatment for not being able to breath. Had to get a shot in my butt and all.
That scared me. I barely made it to the van for terry to get me to the ER. All I kept thinking was please dont let my kids wake up and see me like this. Terry wanted to call an ambulance but I wouldn't let him I insisted I could make it to the van.
That night I seen my life flash before my eyes. I know it is now time to get things straight and live like I should. I decided that morning after getting home that I would stop smoking...somehow someway I will. And I decided I needed to get right with the heavenly father. I have since been attending church. The first week I went to a friends church and since then I have been going to the church I went to as a child growing up.
So I hadn't been to bingo since.....Until this past friday night.
I get home......and BAM again I cannot breath. So back to the ER I go. This time I didn't hum ho around I got my butt out in the van and at ER within minutes of the onset of this happening. I wasn't going to fool around. Plus I had to drive myself this time as terry had to be at work way early. This time I required Oxygen and they tested my heart. And also done a chest xray. Well the heart was ok and so was the chest xray. He did say it looks as though there is some scaring on my lungs :-(
My oxygen level would only go to 92%-94% when they took me off the oxygen my level stayed at 92%. The ER doctor suggested that I contact my DR and see about getting oxygen at home for the difficult times. So I still need to call the dr for that.
Anyway......
I know I have to get things right. I never know when something will happen to me. I cannot die and I will do what I have to to continue living and make sure I am here to see my kids grow up and see my grandbabies. I just have to take one day at a time.......

Happy Birthday Nandad

I have been meaning to post this all day and Am just now getting to it. But today would have been my grandfathers birthday. I actually forget his actual year of birth but if My calculations are correct today he would have been 88 I think. I am not sure he has been gone since 1983 and I was young when he left this earth. But I do know that he was the most important man in my life growing up.
I love and miss him very much and Know that if he were alive today He would Love my children as much as he loved me.
Him and My grandmother raised me and my sister.
So again Happy Birthday Nandad! I miss you as much today as I did the day you left us.
