Tomorrow Is August

July had it's highs and lows...
We found R&R...finally. On a Friday morning with our trailer in tow, we found a huge campsite at Buck Creek and set up camp for a few days. We laid in the sun and ate Popsicles and when we got too hot we started up the generator and escaped to our air conditioned trailer and watched "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs". We just relaxed, drank coffee, coated ourselves with Off, made a few campfires, pretended to be the "Heinz" family, ate mangoes, had a good laugh at the worst loaf of gluten free bread EVER and even the dogs behaved pretty well and learned that their new pin isn't too bad. We rolled back home Sunday morning with that jelly feeling you get after 2 days of mentally and physically checking out.. it's harder to find than I thought and it was oh. so. good.

Vern has been having a lot of good days lately!( For those of you just tuning in he is still having abdominal/tummy issues after 2 surgeries and two long years of not feeling good) Our newest adventure, going gluten free in hopes it helps, is making me more and more confident each day that it is making a ton of difference. The gluten free life is a lot less difficult than I originally thought and Vern is already showing physical improvements which is majorly validating! Also I found him a sleep spray by Isagenix that has been helping him sleep! Unfortunately, blood tests ran by his new Dr. showed that his white blood cell count is low so we meet with a blood specialist on Monday to see what that's all about. It could be anything from the meds he was on and current diet change to Leukemia. My prayers are that it isn't anything a good multi vitamin can't fix. To be honest though, that news hit us like a ton of bricks. We finally broke down and had a much needed release of emotions, we just shut ourselves in our bedroom and cuddled and cried it out, we were exhausted and finally ready to admit that it had all become too much. And when it was all over, like any good storm, we found the sun. We decided to clear aside all the things we "thought" we needed to do and were important and decided to live in the present. No plans, no pressure, just let things work out in their own time. So far that calm has lasted almost 2 weeks and although it was difficult at the time, I am so grateful for the new perspective!

And last but not least, my new location at work! I LOVE IT!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! My clients love it, my co workers are the sweetest on earth and it is a fun and positive environment!! This is my 7th week and it just gets better and better!! I am so busy at the moment that at this rate I might be running my butt off until February!! Makes a girl feel so overwhelmingly blessed <3 p="">
Tomorrow is August...and for a change, I have no expectations. I am soaking up the busy schedule and good fortune that my business is blessing me with at the moment but who's to say what tomorrow will bring? Oh August, just please be gentle. ;)
