Adios MRSA

A while back Nick and I got some news that he had MRSA in his lungs. It was scary news considering MRSA is resistant to most antibiotics and that once you have it most of the time it never goes away.So this morning Nick got A call from his Dr. and the sputum culture he did at this past visit had NO MRSA IN IT. I am beyond happy!! His nurse told him that this is really rare and that by him exercising and kicking butt like he has this past year has something to do with it going away.All I can say is that my hubbs is pretty amazing,What do yall think?

On another note we are still looking for A new house, I cant believe the highs and lows that come with this.When Nick and I started this process I definitely didn't consider all of this,But it is really nerve racking. Friday night Nick and I found A place we were in LOVE with. Then we found out this morning that there is A contract on the house and if that falls through there is already a backup contract on it. UGHH I just have to keep in mind that every thing happens for A reason.Fingers crossed we will be in A house by Christmas people!!

So much Fun

Hello, I hope everyone had A great weekend and are enjoying the coming of the holiday season. Yesterday Nick and I along with his sister and her husband went to take some pictures. Courtney wanted to get some maternity pictures for her baby shower and photo album.We had planned on doing the pics on the beach and well... Mother nature had other plans. It has been so rainy and cold here that it just wasn't picture weather for the beach unfortunately.So Friday night I was thinking and thinking of where we could go inside to take pictures. I really didn't want to drive into Jacksonville. Finally I thought about the Ritz Carlton on Amelia island. I know that they always decorate SO pretty for Christmas. So I talked with A family friend of ours who would be taking the pictures and she liked the idea as well. I AM SO GLAD we went there, It was absolutely beautiful and they were so nice about letting us do the pics there. We were really there to take pics of Courtney and Chuck and her preggo belly, But you know I of course wanted A couple of Nick and I... Do you blame me ? The location was gorgeous. So below are some pics, I hope you enjoy them I know I cant stop looking at them. Courtney is now 8 months along and VERY pregnant. We are all getting ready for the arrival of Trace and are SO excited.Nick is doing well,He is still having on again off again back pain,but has continued to maintain his weight. Shortly after Christmas we will be working on getting the application for his transplant put in and hope to start the evaluation soon.Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. XOXO Always
