Happy New Year What ?!?!!!!

Okay so I could say HAPPY NEW YEAR- Or I could say Oh my goodness where did the month of January go? This is my first blog since December 25th and I have alot of pictures to add as we catch up. However, I will take a few minutes to tell you why it has been almost a month since my last blog.

Our trip to Tennessee went off without a hitch. We came home enjoyed our week before the new year and BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

January 1st, 2009 I woke at 4:30 a.m. with a horrible headache. I got up and took some medicine and went back to bed. I then woke at 7 a.m. and felt very "wierd" if you must. My head was killing me and I couldn't move my left leg. It felt numb, ( you know it feels when it is asleep ). I called my husband and he called his mom immediately. Well my blood pressure and all was fine but my headache was massive and I was scared. After getting to the E.R they admitted me. The doctor told my mother in law he was trying to rule out stroke!!!! WHAT???? I didn't care I was in alot of pain and my head was killing me. My wonderful pastor and his wife came and sat with us. Well I guess I could say my mom in law and hubby because I was knocked out....
I stayed in the hospital three days, and then came home and was still not well. While in the hospital they ruled out it was a stroke but said it was a migraine. YIKES!!! I spent the next 5 days at home on so much medicine that well, just say I didn't even know who I was. I had some special visitors each day and I don't remember them being there. My mom came from Tennessee and it wasn't until her third day here I knew she was here.
I am thankful to report I haven't had any other headaches. I have been so tired though. I missed a week of work and am still catching up there. I don't have the strength I need but I am resting and getting there.

On January the 17th Brian and celebrated our anniversary. We have been married 11 years and he is great. I think the time he took taking care of me, just lead up to us both being very thankful for each other.

The girls are all doing well. They have gotten into the groove of being back at school and getting back on a pattern. No they dont like it but hey I dont either. it's too cold to be out to go anywhere.

While my mom was here she did some after holidays cleaning. I am proud to say the girls and I have accomplished keeping the house and laundry done up. Mom taught the girls a few things why she was here and I know she will be proud......

I am so thankful for the new year. It started out a lit' crazy but God has seen us through. We are so blessed. I have some Christmas pictures and I will catch up. But I had to start somewhere or I would never get going.

Have a GREAT Sunday my fellow bloggers!!!

Today is Chirstmas Eve and we are on our way to Tennessee. We left a day late but we are doing well. The weather was a little bad lastnight and I was a little under the weather.
I am in the car right now blogging, the girls are asleep and ofcourse Brian is driving. Life has been a little crazy trying to make sure we have everything together and here we go!!!

Okay whoever left the message about updating on Mikel..... Here goes....
Her headaches are fewer these days. The test that was suppose to happen on Monday did not. The hospital had to cancel and we will do it, next week
I am pleased with her headaches and they are getting better.
I am trusting God is in control and all is going to be ok!!

I am so excited and can't wait to see my family....

6 MORE DAYS AND I AM SO EXCITED!





Six More Days and Counting!


My family will travel this holiday season

something we have never done. We will

be in Tennessee for a week over the holidays!

Brian and I are sharing our 12th Christmas together

and have never been in Tennessee. This year we are

going home. I am pumped and so ready.


I cant wait to be with my sisters like old days on Christmas

Eve and my nieces and nephews. Christmas morning to

wake up with my grandmother and see the kids face as they

get the one thing they begged for. YEAH!


This year has been a tough one for the Roe family. We lost our Pa

very quickly and unexpected. I think we have all handled

it in our way and we have watched our rock of

a mom stand firm.

When I think of my Ma Shirley- strength is what I see.

she has battled and won cancer, battled

loosing her sweet son, battled and won

the fight of the brain surgeries & taking a month long

vacation we tease her.....


Ma, you are a rock!!!! I love you so much and I am

blessed by you daily. Just the thought of you and everything

we have been through brings me to tears.

Your love, support for the last 31 years has never waivered

and for that I am thankful....



I guess my heart was fuller than I thought when I started this post. However, ever word is true, and I am never going to apoligize for any of it!!!!
Picture above is My sister Suzanne, me and our Ma and Pa!


Be blessed today!!!!!!!!!!
