Give Thanks Walk

Tomorrow we will participate in the Give Thanks, Walk for ST. JUDE! We have been asking for donation for TEAM IVEE for some time now. If you are looking to give to some charity of some kind before the end of the year, believe me, THIS is a worthy cause. I will always choose to give back to the place that saved my daughters life!

November Thankfulness...

I have been writing what I am thankful for on FB for the month of November. I wanted to share my "thanks" on here with those who aren't on Facebook.
 November 3 

Today, I am thankful for a Savior who not only saves a soul, but often delivers us physically!

November 4
Today I am thankful for an incredible partner and best friend of 17+ years. Each year he has grown to be a more loving and thoughtful husband and father. He works very hard, long hours every week, and misses out on so much because of his commitments to his family, but tries to find a way to make the kids know that he is there for them, and that he wants them to live Godly, moral and thought-filled lives. Emmett, you are my Lobster!! Forever!

Today I am thankful for my kids. Beginning with child #1. Brittney is our ray of hyperactive sunshine! Fifteen years she has brought us joy and made us laugh. She is very responsible with most things we give her and had to grow up too quickly to help us with Ivee's battle with Cancer. She is a talented artist and singer, and in so many ways reminds me of myself. She has a heart for Jesus and a love of family! Brittney, you are growing into a beautiful lady and mom and dad are so very proud of you!!!!

Tuesday, November 8th
Today I am thankful for My Ethan...oh, Ethan..what to say. Even though he is at "that age" he is still thoughtful of others in need around him. He is artiatic and talented. He cares for his baby sister. And one day, when his hormones are in check and stabilized, I pray he be a strong man of Godly character!

And Today's PostToday I am very thankful for my baby, Ivee. I could write an entire book of what she has taught me and shown me in just her short 5 years, and maybe one day I will. She is so smart, funny, sweet, precious, adorable, stubborn and my biggest HERO! She is the strongest person I know. She is a survivor, overcomer, and fighter. She never fails to tell me everyday that she loves me! I love when she wants to "hold momma" (which is momma holding her). I have imagined life without her too many times, for she has captured a part of me that will always be hers. Thank you God for allowing me to keep and love her here on this earth, forever how long!!!

My GIVE THANKS. WALK for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is just 10 days away. If you are looking for something to give too here at the end of 2011, I will gladly help you with your tax deduction. :) Here is the link to my Pledge Page. 

We go back to St. Jude in January for Ivee's next MRI. We, as always, covet your prayers. As  you pray for Ivee, please remember to pray for our other friends. Lucy's counts are recovering as she is returning home. Hopefully they will pull her central line very soon. Justin is home for good until check ups. Levi, Chasity, and many others have had great reports. Brandon is still fighting his monster of DIPG. We love our extended cancer families.
