Blah

Hey Yall, I hope everyone had An amazing Thanksgiving. Let me tell you what A crazy couple of weeks it has been for Nick and I. About A week before Thanksgiving Nick decided he wanted to do Thanksgiving at our house. Every year we go from house to house visiting with everyone and it has just gotten old. since we have A new home of our own what better way to celebrate than have everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner. So Nick and I got to work getting the house ready for everyone to come over. We also had my Mom and Step dad coming in town the day after Thanksgiving to stay until today with us. We finally got everything ready for Thanksgiving and it couldn't have went better. It felt so good to have everyone over to our new home and just relax and enjoy each others company.

Everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner

My mom and step dad arrived Saturday and we haven't stopped since. They spoiled Nick and I A bit and got us some things for the house. My step dad helped Nick do some landscaping, It looks SO good! It was so nice having them come up for A visit. Nick and I are so use to driving down to Ft. Lauderdale to see them. Now that they have A room to stay in here I think we will be seeing them A little more often, I couldnt more excited about that.

On another not, I know life is not fair but please excuse me but I am gonna have A pity party if ya don't mind. Right when you think that life is going great you get another blow. From the time we moved in until now Nick has not really stopped to take the time for himself. Unfortunately the last couple of days Nick has felt the brunt of our never ending projects. I called his Dr. this morning and they thought it would be best that Nick come into the hospital for A little stay and finish up his ivs at home. We are suppose to be so excited about our new home and enjoying it, Instead we have to go stay at the hospital.

 Every time Nick gets sick its just another reminder that our life is far from normal and nor will it ever be. Its just not fair that Nick has to deal with this stupid disease,That he has to bust his butt every day of his life just to BREATHE. I love how people think that they have it bad I wish for once they could walk A mile in his shoes. Anyways enough I just need to vent sometimes. That is what this blog was for and now I feel like I have to guard myself sometimes because of who reads this blog.

So please continue to keep Nick I'm your prayers as he just got off of Ivs less than 2 months ago and yet hes back at it.

Saturday night Nick and I had A Halloween party to go to,I absolutely love dressing up...Nick not so much. I am always pretty set on making our Halloween costumes, It is so much more fun that way. We have been trying to come up with something for weeks and FINALLY I found it. I thought it was too funny especially since I have A slight addiction to Facebook.

I was Facebook and Nick was A like button

We had a lot of fun and got A lot of compliments on our costumes. Unfortunately Nick forgot to take his enzymes with breakfast so pretty early in the night he got A really bad stomach ache. I absolutely hate it when he gets these because obviously they are REALLY painful,Sometimes it scares me.Thankfully he woke up this morning and felt a lot better.

 Happy Sunday everyone!! Are yall enjoying this B-E-A-utiful weather as much as I am? I'm A windows open kinda gal when the weather is like this. It know it has been A little while since I posted anything,Nick and I have been consumed with this whole buying A house thing. I never imagined it would be such A waiting game but we will know something hopefully by Friday.In the meantime Nick and I are going kinda crazy and cant stop watching the DIY network and HGTV.

Yesterday was my little brother Cameron's 15th birthday!!! I cant believe he is already 15 yall,I mean it was just yesterday that I was blessed with my first sibling. I couldn't be prouder, He is one amazing young man and has A heart of gold. I cant see what the future holds for my little brother,Ladies Watch out!! He is really into skateboarding and is quite good I might add,So he had his party at Kona skate park.

Then last night we went and visited Nicks sister and her family.They bought our cute little nephew his Halloween costumes and he is just TOO CUTE!!

I cannot believe how big this little guy is getting SO QUICK! He is crawling around all over the place and has such A great personality. Courtney and Chuck got him A skeleton costume and A vampire costume, He looks so cute in them both but my favorite was the skeleton costume.I cant wait to go with this little guy to the pumpkin patch and take some cute pictures.

So hopefully by this time next week I will be posting to you about moving into our very first home!!! Nick and I are beyond excited! As you have been please continue to keep Nick and I in your prayers you all are amazing and bless us all the time with your support.Have A great week!

Merry Late Christmas

My little brother Cameron and I Christmas 2009A kid at heart, Had A blast jumping on the trampoline Nick can jump SO high its crazyMackenzie,Cameron and I feeding the rabbitsMy Dad and I Christmas afternoonMy little sister Mackenzie and I Nick and I Christmas morning~ No makeup AHHHMr. and Mrs.Nick and his GramMr. And Mrs. I cannot believe I didn't blog about Christmas yet... I'm so ashamed!!! I hope everyone had A GREAT Christmas and spent it with the ones you love the most. This Christmas was so extra special to me. I think this year has been pretty rough for everyone,We have all felt the pinch in one way or another. I love it though, It brings us back to the basics of what Christmas is all about. For me it has always been and forever will be about my family,and for that I am FOREVER GRATEFUL. In the back of my head this Christmas all I could think about was Whats to come for Nick and I this year. I thought to myself and was so excited to think that next Christmas my husband might have NEW LUNGS!!!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!! I still get giddy and amazed to think that they will be able to take lungs from another thoughtful donor and give my husband the gift of LIFE, That we all take for granted. We had A good time this Christmas between both families it was nice. It was A little hard due to the fact I didn't get to see my mom this year for Thanksgiving nor Christmas. Usually I can handle it but we have had a pretty rough year this year with the loss of some that we love. It makes for A bittersweet holiday season. Here are some pictures from Christmas and I have lots of new stuff coming up for the new year. I AM SO EXCITED!!! Have A great week yall !! XOXO ALWAYS Amanda
