I Haven't Been Well Lately :(
OK I guess I need to get everyone up to date on my health issues! After suffering with pain and some serious "Issues" Shall we say ...in the female health category,I am scheduled for a major surgery on October 22 at 7:30 a.m. I will be having a hysterectomy.Due to my complicated issues I am not a candidate for a non-invasive procedure. The doctors will be going through my already existing Cesarean section scar.So I will be in the hospital for 3-4 days!The recovery is around 6weeks! As all of you know life here is already quite interesting! So things are going to get a little more bumpy for a while! LOL
I'm not at all sad about the decision for this surgery. Quite frankly I am embracing it as a NEW start for me ! I have been dealing with these sort of issues, endometriosis, severe scarring and pain since I was 14 years old! Through God's awesome grace he has brought me through almost 10 years of infertility to be blessed to have 3 beautiful children. I am truly blessed to have been chosen by God to be able to go through these trials in order to be a real voice for his wondrous love for his children! For him to be able to use his work and healing of me to be a living testimony of his present day miracles is overwhelming! Every tear I have shed over the years, the loss of our first child,although sad...all of it was worth it to be able to be what I always wanted to be... a mother! Who am I now to be selfish about my mangled body parts, when he has blessed me so abundantly! He made these parts, he used them for his gifting us with our hearts desire.And now I gratefully give them back! I am excited to finally be able to walk tall and proud when someone asks me "how are you"? I will be able to tell them without any uncertainty....I'm Fine! And really mean it! I have hidden my pain for years! For the Lord to give me complete freedom in this area is going to be awesome!
I am thankful to the Lord for also providing a way for my parents and my sister Darlin to come down here and help out with those little miracles I now have! What a blessing! I will of course keep everyone updated with my progress!

It's Been A While!! Sorry
Hey guys! I know it has been a while since I last blogged. Since our visit to Nanny Faye's house life has been quite an adventure!Let's see where should I begin?
We had to evacuate for Hurricane Gustav....Praise God we did not have any damage!Just a lot of clean-up and inconvenience due to lack of electricity! But overall we were satisfied with the outcome of the storm for our family and for of church family as well! I will post a slide show of our shelter from the storm. We left Norco, around 4 a.m on the Saturday before the storm. Our Parrish was in a mandatory evacuation as of noon on Saturday. So our little head start was great planning on Rick's part! About an hour or so after we left is when most of the traffic tie-ups occurred! We arrived at our first destination of McKinney, Texas on Saturday afternoon! My Ex- Brother-In-Law Cary had invited Rick and I to stay at his house! How kind was that? He was so generous to us ! We stayed there until after the storm had passed. We moved over to Benbrook , Texas to my sister Darlin's house later in the week! It was such a nice thing for she and her husband Joey to invite us in to invade there life for a few days! When you invite the Mayeaux tribe for an evacuation....you get a lot more than you expected!!!LOL Thank you Darlin and Joey your hospitality was above and beyond "our" expectations! Rick drove back to Norco on the Friday after the storm to clean up and check things out. While he was still here at home we did get our electricity back on the Sunday afternoon.So being that things were better we of course came home! Only to be visited from our "Other " little storm IKE! For Ike we did loose electricity for around 13 hours or so. But things of course could have been much worse!
