and of course - it's going to be about herniated discs...

have you ever had one? I have - as in - I do - as in - yeah.

Right now : (

Not too fun - but luckily I have been blessed with a husband who so desperately loves to hike, bike and be merry outdoors that he is doing his darndest to make sure I will be able to do those things with him until we are 90+ years old. And he also makes sure that I have to bend over as little as possible.

It's rather sweet - but also rather frustrating that I can hardly stand today without it hurting. It actually has been doing much better since I stopped working out two weeks ago - and then, this morning, while I was simply folding the clothes upstairs - Hernie decided to speak his mind.....

Apparently Hernie doesn't like to be bothered - or irritated - and Hernie especially does NOT like to fold clothes.

So here I lay - while Dan, Randy, Judy an Layton are on a walk - icing Hernie - trying to quite his pestery little voice - and rest up for an awesome wedding tomorrow : )

We only have 6 more weddings until our 3 month break {starting in February} It's hard to believe how fast time has flown! This year has been full of ups and downs - it has been fast and yet slow; and with having a miscarriage in August - I didn't know when I would feel 'normal' again.

But I am getting there. And I believe I will continue to. There are still milestones to cross that will be an extra reminder of the fact that I am not pregnant any longer - but God is good. And although I have felt more alone at times this fall then I have ever felt before - I still know and trust that God has great things in store for us - yet this year, next year and 20 years from now.

It's been hard trust that at times - but through it all, I've had some truly amazing people in my life - speaking truth to me, praying for us, hugging me - I know that no matter how alone I feel - God is still here. He is still good - and even when it's hard to feel that from Him, He's blessed me with those amazing people to show me that in obvious ways.

So to all of you - the amazing people in my life - a simple thanks just isn't enough. Just know that I pray I can be there for you for years to come; whether you're my newest friend - or oldest friend, you live around the corner - or across the country - your support means more to me than you know.

I love you all - and wish you were all here so I could hug you : ) a million times : ) because you know I love hugs : )
