Two months today...that's how long it's been since my last post. I am truly sorry. My intention is to blog on a fairly regular basis so I can continue to keep my blog followers coming back to check for more updates. I don't have a good enough excuse for why I haven't posted in two months, just that I haven't. So...let's start fresh. Here's what's been going on:
October
Brooke was made an honorary firefighter with the Clovis Fire Department on 10-3. She made the local paper and the news in Amarillo, Roswell and Albq. It was a great day full of lots of friends and more good memories. We love our firefighter family just as they have come to love Brooke. And now she is one of them. We are so proud!! You should see her helmet!!
Made several trips to the dentist in Albq. and we ordered new (bigger/heavier) wheelchair for Brooke, which made us realize that what we currently drive isn't going to work with a bigger chair. Not with luggage too. So...the "mini van" discussions started. Mike is freaking out at this point. Never wanted a van. Feeling a little less masculine or something? Ha.
September
Dental and Immunology appointments. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Brooke informs us on 9-22 that she needs to see Mickey Mouse. She "worked" on her dad for 3 days and finally wore him down. Looks like we're going to Disneyworld next summer.
November
Another trip to the dentist.
Can't seem to get Brooke well. She's struggled with allergies/sinus congestion since September. Multiple docs/meds.
I sold my Highlander (White Lightening). This was a sad day for me. I loved that SUV! But I sold her to a good friend who was taking it to her sister in Ohio. Her new name is Snow Baby and from what I hear...everyone is happy. Eula Mae Hankins is on order (my mini van). She is due to arrive the first or second week of December, so in the meantime...I am sporting a fancy yellow car.
We got denied Brooke's wheelchair, but I am appealing it. Goofy process!
Mike finished cross country and had a really good season. Yea Clovis CC!
I am taking two classes at Wayland...3 more to go once I finish these two. Homework is a little more than I planned on having, so bear with me.
Preparing for Christmas...have done a little online shopping but really need to take a trip to Amarillo soon! We'll start the decorating process next week...Brooke will be THRILLED! She's wanted us to put the tree up since July!
I guess that's about everything in a nutshell. I promise to do better.
Thanks to everyone for sticking with me and continuing to come back to the blog for updates. I love you all!
