Halloween Pumpkin Carving

Tonight Dave and I decided to carve our pumpkins since he will be working at night all week (mon.- thurs.) By the time he gets home, it's bedtime, so we decided to do it tonight. They turned out cute. LOL! We are definitely NOT professional pumpkin carvers, but we had fun doing it. I love carving pumpkins, but I always forget the horrific smell it brings when you first open up the top of the pumpkin. It was still fun.

We sure did have fun taking pictures and carving our pumpkins...




The dogs wanted to join in on the fun...


Have a great rest of the week and a safe Halloween.

Waiting on the Lord

So as some of you know or have read in the previous blogs I had been diagnosed with Grave's Disease. I took the radioactive iodine and now I feel great. I actually sleep through the entire night with no problems. I wake up feeling refreshed. No more black circles under my eyes (well, they are going away). Dry skin is not so bad anymore, and my hair isn't falling out as much. I'm so glad that God has taken care of me through all of this treatment. Now we just sit and wait until December 1st see if it all worked like it was supposed to and then I will be good to go. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." I know that the Lord is with me wherever and whatever I do in His name. Now I just continue to wait on Him, for He shall direct my path.

Waiting...

The doctor called today and I have an appointment to take radioactive iodine on Wednesday, October 8th of next week. So for now I just wait for the day to come where I have to drink liquid radioactive iodine and can't be around anyone for 3 days. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Probably just sleep for most of the time. Not sure if it will make me sick or not. I have no idea what to expect from this stuff. I'm so nervous about taking it, but I know God is watching out for me and all I can do is leave it in His hands and let Him take care of it all and take care of me. Please keep me in your prayers as I wait to take the radioactive iodine and for after, that it all goes well and that I don't need to take it again or do anything else.

I will keep you posted as I sit at home during those three days, since I can't talk to people or be at work.
