changes

Changes. Some are good ones, some not so good. Some are exciting, some you just don't know what to expect.
We have changes coming. My Erik is going to move out soon, and will become a husband. Good changes, and exciting too. Our electric bill will show up tomorrow....bad change, although the changes we have made in conserving is good.
And for a big change that is exciting, and one we just don't know what to expect-- my sister Shelly and her three kids are moving in with us for a year or so. They are going to sell their house, and John will stay behind in Texas until they can wrap up his business. So, we have this big house, but not that many bedrooms... and we're adding 4 more people. Oh, and another dog and cat. And Gabe is still here. So, Steve is moving his workshop out of the basement and back into the garage. We can move some of the kids into the basement, and we'll put Shelly and Kate into Erik's room. It's gonna be interesting during the week before and after Erik's wedding... Tim and Katie are coming, my Dad is coming and Grandma and Grandpa Peterson are coming.. Good thing we all like each other!

I'm still plodding along on my metal removal...this puts my previous tiredness into a different perspective. I am so much more tired now...but I only have 3 or 4 weeks left. If I have to do more removal, I am going to give myself a bit of a break before starting again.

That's about it for our changes... why don't you comment me on changes in your life...:-)

New pictures this weekend.

It's sunny!

Hurray!
I woke up to sunshine this morning, and it is still wonderful. We've got towels hanging outside on the line and Steve is pulling up dead plants. Could this be spring finally? I am so ready to go outside and plant some flowers.
I'm looking forward to Sunday, Steve and I are gonna have a date. We're eating at Wildspice and going to see Iron man.

Till then

scooters, jam sessions and a baby

So it's May. I keep meaning to post, but I just don't seem to get around to it.
The last time I posted I had only been home for awhile, and was getting ready to start another round of metal removal. It's not been fun. I do have the flu like symptoms, and extreme fatigue. Dr. Huffman said it was harder on the body to take oral pills instead of chelation, I think I agree. My house is a wreck, and I only have energy for a little bit 2 days a week. I still have 3 or 4 weeks to go.. and then I retest. If I still have arsenic, then I get to continue on with treatment. I'm praying it will all be gone, I want to get back to my life.

We've had a cold spring, but we did have a nice 10 day stretch of sun and warmth. I hope we have a hot summer!

Miriah graduates from Calvary Bible College this month, and comes home. I sure miss her! Not too much longer and she becomes my 2nd daughter in law. Miriah Peterson... sounds wonderful!!!
Erik bought a scooter today, he loves it. I have to tuck my motorcycle fears away. . . I'll just pray alot!
Anything else?????? I'm knitting a baby blanket, a gorgeous scarf for me, and still plodding away on my shawl.
oh duh.. the other new thing, the high electricity bill to come. I'm dreading our first bill, although we have been conserving. Less tv, less lights, less everything. It will still be terrible though.
That's about it. I am gonna take my camera to church on Sunday, I need an Asher fix. Oh, and Angela and Jason's new little girl Kayleigh.
:-)))))

See, there really was sunny weather. Erik and David had a nice jam session outside. Loved it!





Max, wearing the shield to stop him from chewing on his stitches. He was so pitiful!
