WOW

well apparently it has been over a year since I have posted anything on here. My New Year's goal is to try and post on this blog more often through out 2011. I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore beings I have been horrible at updating this. Hopefully I'll even get better at posting pictures on here.
Well what has happened in the past year? Our family has had it's share of medical news lol. In April, Taylor fell off of the monkey bars at daycare, and broke his wrist. He thought it was pretty cool that he got to wear a blue cast for 4weeks, Mom on the other hand thought she was for sure going to end up with grey hair befor she was 30 lol. His wrist healed perfectly fine, and he was able to get the cast off before summer hit.
Sarah turned 5 this past June and started kindergarten in August. She absolutely loves school! She has made many friends, and her best friend from daycare Corrin is even in her same class. That made the transition a little easier for her. She loves art, she has definantly gotten the art talent from her Grandpa Gerlach. She LOVES music, and is always singing something. She also likes to read and spell.
Taylor is in the second grade. He is such a smart kid, I know that I really learn things from him. He loves science, and reading! He is a great reader one of the best in his class. He is actually on a 3rd grade reading level. (can we say proud mommy!)
Brian and I are doing well. Brian got to visit Frankfort Germany this past Novemember. He had to go over there for a buissness trip, but got a couple of days of pleasure and sight seeing. He took lots of pictures for me, so maybe when I figure out how to upload pictures on my new camera I will post some of them on here for you guys.
I am doing, well I'm doing. Ha Ha. For those of you who don't know I had a real struggle with my health this year. I started getting really sick in September. In October they removed my gallbladder, hoping that was the problem. It definantly was a problem, and had pretty much quit on me, but that still didn't not fix the problems that I was having. So through out the month of Novemeber I went through quiet a bit of testing and they finally diagnosed me with Crohn's Disease. It has definantly been a struggle, but thankfully my husband, children, family and friends have kept my spirits up. Now it's just time to find the right treatment and to learn how to eat again lol. I keep telling myself that the silver lining in this whole thing is the fact that I have lost 40 lbs and hopefully will be able to keep it off and keep loosing the weight lol.
I am still working at Verizon Wireless as a Customer Service rep. I can't believe it's been over 2 years that I have been there lol.
Well hopefully I will post more soon Hope you have a WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
