Dinner at our home! =)

After this past week with Mom S's spell she had, we decided that we would go ahead and invite them over to our home for dinner. Although David and I have been together for over 10 years now, we could not remember a time when we have had them over for dinner before. We thought it would help her out so she didn't have to deal with that this week. She still needs your prayers, as they still are unsure what is causing the racing heart. She has Doctor appointments and testing this week. So, hopefully she gets some answers so they can get it under control. So, we had them over today and I was a bit nervous! I really shouldn't have been seeing as though I have known them and been around them for years, but the fact knowing that it's my in laws and what if I burn something, or something doesn't turn out, what will I do?? She is such a good cook, I would have been mortified!
Well, turns out it all went fine!! David grilled some New York strip steaks (he grilled a ham slice for me), we had baked potatoes, corn, beef rice, (thanks Tonya, used your recipe!!) and rolls. It was all good and it was nice to have them over for a change. I hope it lessened the load for even just a day for her. Guess we should do that more often!!
Besides that not to much going on yet. I am working overtime again for a short period of time. David is heading up another Church project in Shamokin at his work. He is just ending a Church in Elysburg that he was also in charge of running. I am having a baby shower here at my house for my brother's girlfriend, Nicole in March,( they are having a girl, Brooke Nicole!!) I am having a Silpada jewelry party here in April, so, we will soon be busy again!!
Once Spring rolls around in the next few weeks hopefully there will be more to blog about. We have big plans for this Spring/Summer. To get the basement pretty well finished, plant a vegetable garden, and landscape. So, that's all for now folks!!
Us last Sunday before Church.

Mom and Dad S. before dinner today.

Mmmmm!!!

This and that

Here are some pictures from the latest happenings around here. Not to much besides SNOW! Seems to be all the time too!
Last Saturday's snow.

David running the snowblower for the first time this year.

My new shelf that David hung up for me!!

Living room.

David finally put the hardware on our cabinets!!! It really makes it look different!!

Now to get the crown molding up on top of the cabinets!! We already have that too, just got to get it up!

Close up.

Snow that was blowing and drifting on Sunday.

It drifts across the road the whole length of our propery. Township loves that I'm sure.

Blows right across diagonally our front yard onto the road!

The new wrought iron cross that David hung up above our bed. It's needs something else there too, but I really like it!

HA!! Austin loves to put people's shoes on so I put my boots on him and he was trying to walk around in them. It was hilarious!!! Poor kid and the things we do for our entertainment!! :)

He couldn't get up!! HA, HA!

Superbowl party. Matt, Erin, Reecca and Austin. They were dancing to the halftime show.

April, Eli and David watching the Superbowl.

Becca and Austin.

They were so cute dancing around!

What Mom?? HA, HA!

Today's snow! I stayed home. David went to work. :( But at least he's only working at the shop since the roads are bad.

Snow, it's all it ever does! Guess that Groundhog was right. :/

New haircut =)

Today after work I went and got my hair cut off! I am going to donate it to Locks of Love. You have to have at least 10'' to donate it. It was time for a change. I also will be getting new glasses and sunglasses but they aren't in yet, so that will also make me look a little different. I'll have to post a couple pics when I get them. Just a few odds and ends about what we've been up to ; we've both been working. I've been working a decent amount of overtime, so that's been nice as far as the money. But we are supposed to be slowing down a bit here for awhile so no more OT after today for awhile. I also got a raise at the beginning of the year, which is also nice. I also joined a local gym, Planet Fitness with a lady I work with. I'm not really dieting but figured if I at least get active it has to help something! I go 4 days a week after work. So far, so good. I also have recently bought some new decorations for the house, but have yet to put them up, so when we do, I'll post pictures.

David has been really helping me out around the house and getting suppers started at night since I don't get home until around at least 5:30pm ish. He's really been eager lately to learn how to cook, and make things. He's getting pretty good at it, which really helps me out! It's been so cold here it's nice to know that he is working indoors and not outside freezing! That's about all we've been up to. I have been SO tired recently for some reason. I no sooner get home eat supper and clean up that I am so tired I lay down and instantly fall asleep. It may be a new prescription that I was taking. We are also starting to go to a new Church tomorrow right down the street here. They just built a new Church. It's the United Methodist Church that moved from town to 8th St. So, we'll see. Hope we like it!! So, all in all this is about all we've been up to.
**Update on Josh is that he's doing well. He's staying with my Gram, and going to rehab. As far as I know he is doing very well!! Thanks for all your prayers for him!!!
Today at work.
Before I cut it off.

Ta-da!!!!! Cut and hilighted!

I really like it!!

Here's the ponytail I'm donating!

Looks like a snake!

Josh is home!!!

Josh came home from the hospital today!! He is staying with my Gram and Pap. My Gram had surgery on her wrist today also. So I will post his progress from time to time. We went to see him at the hospital Friday night and he seemed very good. Talked away to us and knew what was going on. So, prayers are working!!!! Keep the prayers coming and also for my Grandparents that they can handle taking care of him. It's going to be alot of work I'm sure. Thanks again!!

**Josh has moved!

Today Josh has been moved the the Williamsport Gibson Rehab Center. He has come a very long way in 3 weeks. He is still in alot of pain from them taking alot of the meds away and he is now "feeling" alot of pain. He is getting better each day, but still is getting very confused about things. The part of the brain he injured is the short term memory and speech. Now, so far his speech sounds pretty good, it's the memory part that isn't clicking for him. He will be having 6 or more hours a day of therapy, so with that and alot of love and support we are praying for a FULL recovery!! Work hard and stay strong so you can get out of there Joshy!! Please continue the prayers for him, Thank you again!!!

*** Josh update

Just a quick note they moved Josh to critical care on the 3rd floor on Monday. He is awake more and more and is talking alot. Some makes sense and some it doesn't, but I think over time he will be alright, but keep the prayers coming!! Thanks!!

** Another Josh update

My Aunt went today to see Josh. They have removed the ventilator and most of the other tubes. He was awake and asking for my Aunt. They told him again he was in an accident and he missed Christmas and New Years. They let him eat. He had mashed potatoes and a milkshake, but he was asking for cereal. Which is about all he ever wants to eat, before the accident! He also asked if he could open his gifts from Christmas, and kept saying he wants to go home. They asked if he wanted to go to my Gram's and he said "no, she's gonna be mad at me." So, tomorrow they are doing surgery on his ankle, then not sure what else is gonna take place, but it is really looking up!!! I just knew yesterday he knew who we were!! So, keep the prayers coming, they are working!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!
