BRAGGING RIGHTS........

I NEVER NEVER brag on myself, but, today, I have to, cuz, I am just plain proud of me!!! I have been in a Biggest Loser Weight Loss Group for the last 12 weeks. I am not the Biggist Loser, however, I have lost 20 pounds and I am so happy. Still have more to go, but, it just makes me know that if I push myself I can make big things happen. THANK YOU BRIAN FOR CHEERING ME ON!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

MATTERS OF THE HEART CONTINUES

Last week we took Vanessa to Salt Lake City to see lung and heart specialists. While there we went through 2 very long days of testing. Some that brought her to tears. Through all of it including the tears, she managed to touch the hearts of the doctors and nurses. We found that she does have Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, however, it is in the mild stages. This can progress over time so we will have tests about every 6 months, to keep up on the progress. We are so very greatful for all the prayers that were said by many friends and family of many different faiths across the country on her behalf. Funny story about these pictures, some of them were taken by the nurses in the Cath Lab, because "Vanessa wanted pictures". Like I said she touched their hearts..............

Bruise caused by IV...........Very proud of this bruise, she thought it was "cool"

Very anxious for the Heart test to start............

Just got another IV and not super thrilled............

In the cath lab with her "friends".....

After 18 hours, she finally got to eat........much happier...................

Matters of the Heart....

Well, the year is getting off to a fast pace. Vanessa has lots of events on her calendar that she is looking forward to. So far Brian has been out snowmobiling and enjoying the wonderful snow. I took my father in laws machine out and played For awhile on his land in Montpelier, very fun!! Then we went to a tribute concert to Queen! It was a rockin' good time. Vanessa had a ball and it brought back lots of memories. The sad thing we were among the younger ones at the concert!! Then Brian got to go Cougar hunting. They treed a lion and got to take lots of cool pictures. He is gorgeous. However, our lives are not full of fun and excitement, soon we are going to Salt Lake to see a specialist, Vanessa has been diagnosed with a heart disease, we are not sure what the outcome will be. But, as I reflect on all the many blessings that we receive on a daily basis, I continue to build upon my faith and look forward to a new day.................

AMAZING.....................................

WE WILL ROCK YOU......................................

HE IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.............................
