Vacation Over

Well, the anticipation of Branson came to a close Sunday afternoon. We had a good time, we just tried to do to much in so little time. We are still recovering from it. Anyway reality sets back in. Back to work and the worries of life. But it was nice to just get away with my family. I guess the highlight of the trip was that my two year old got to ride a real train. Not a theme park train, a real train ride. We got on the train in Branson, it took us into Arkansas. It was only an hour, but it was so worth going.Carson got to wear the conductor hat, we took pictures of course. Carson loves trains he is into Thomas and Friends. We are very Thankful that we where able to go.
Now that Vacation is over, I'm trying to get together a Ladies Night at our Church. The theme is The Fragrances of God. It involves deocorating with roses. I have some ideas, just got to get it together and I'm running out of time. Just one of the many things I've going on right now in my life. Like I said Vacation is over back to reality.

Vacation Is Here

OK, it's finally here!!! Vacation at Branson!!! We waited the entire summer to go to Branson. And this week is it, we leave Wednesday!!! All of us are so ready to get away. We have work so hard to come to this point! Anyway I'm sure I will let everyone know, how it went. But as of right now, it is BRANSON OR BUST!! I will be thinking about all my friends and family while I'm gone!! So anyway everyone have a good week. Talk at you later!!!!

Vacation Count Down 2

Only 7 more day's left for Vacation!!!! I can't wait!! We are trying to figure out on what exactly we want to do in Branson. People tell me you can make about 4 trips to Branson, a year and still see something different every time! I'm just ready to get away from town for a few day's. Rest will not happen, because we have a two year old. I enjoy being with my family, and doing things with them. Carson is just about the age he can do more things with us. We are excited to plan on riding the train. My thing is eating a Olive Garden, I love eating the Italian food!!! My husband's thing is going to the Bass Pro Shop. So maybe we will have time to do all that we want. It doesn't matter as long as we are together, that's all that matter's.

Vacation Count Down

Well it's August!!!!! Yeah!!! Only 14 more day's left till we go on our Branson Mo. vacation!! We have been anxiously waiting to go to branson all year. It seems that branson is the place to go on vacation this year. There have been many families that we know of that have went to branson this year for vacation. So we as a family decided we will be going in a couple of weeks. There are so many things to have fun and do. We are ready to get wet at the Water Park, ride on rides a Silver Dollar City, plus do some shopping (Scrap booking). So here we go counting down the day's instead of months. It will be worth waiting for we always have a good time with each other. I just wish my dad would try to go. He hasn't went on a good vacation in about 3 yrs. He is a very busy man, works all the time. He owns his own company, so it is hard for him to get away. We understand, it is just something me and my sister has had to face growing up. He wanted to be there, but work would just stand in the way. So now that we are adults we go on our own. Plus bring my mom with us. So mark it down (Vacation Count Down).

Very Thankful

Well the surgery on my two year went fine. We check in at 6:30am and he went back for surgery at 7:50am. He was very goofy, they had given him some twilight medicine. He was reaching for things that weren't there. Trying to get off the hospital bed, and very floppy. But they took him back and said he was in good hands. He was back in surgery for about 30min. and then they called us and told us there are some precautions that we have to deal with but everything work out OK. We are so Thankful. Also my husband worked on my car this week and fixed the fuel pump, and it actually runs now. We are just glad that God has helped us go through this valley of trials. My spirits are lifted and blessed now. Unlike it was earlier this week. I believe with all my heart that God puts these kind of test in our lives to test our faith. Our faith my be strong in our eyes, but God knows us different. Just like the song "God will make this trail a blessing" though it sends me to my knees. God will be with us, he is always there. We may leave him or blame him for these trails. But he will be right there all the time. I am Very Thankful and Blessed to have God in my life.

No Luck

If there was no luck in the world there wouldn't be any luck for me and my husband. I went to a Jewelry Show last night and they asked us to name one good thing that has happened to you this week. I couldn't think of a single thing. The only thing that we have had this week so fair is bad luck. It all started Friday night, we decided to go out just me and my husband. We went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse than decided to play putt putt. Let me just say that was the fastest game of putt putt I ever played. The mosquitoes where very very bad. You couldn't do anything, just standing they would bit you. Than we woke up Saturday Morning. I overslept. We had a Yard Sale people where coming before we got everything uncovered. Than we went out to eat and my car broke down. Fuel Pump went out. We had to leave the car at the Restaurant and have my mom pick us up. The cost for the Fuel Pump was 240...Great Right...than we get a phone call from Carson Surgery Clinic we have to have at least 300...for the surgery. And you ask me what was the good thing that happen to us this week. I'm just laughing inside. No Luck. I pray very hard that the string of bad luck will end sooooooon. Especially tomorrow when he has his surgery. Wish us all luck.

When it Rains it Pours

Well it never fails, when it rains it pours. We went to the Ear Dr. for my son yesterday. He has to have surgery next week. He got tubes in his ears last year in March. The Dr. said the tubes would fall out in about six to nine months. Well we went back in March of this year, and the tubes are still in his ears. So the Dr. said he wanted to wait for couple more months and see if they are still in. We went yesterday those tubes are still in my little boy's ears. So we are now facing surgery to remove the tubes. Let me give you a rough update about my little boy. We got pregnant with him in March of 04. Excited because we had been trying to get pregnant for about a year. I was very depressed and down. I prayed to god and came to peace with it. That it was his will whether or not I was to have a child. Anyway I got pregnant, very excited in fact words could not describe the feeling me and my husband felt. It was a very smooth pregnancy, just a couple of minor heath problems. Then it happened. I was 8 months pregnant, when I went in for a normal ultrasound to see how big the baby was. The Dr. didn't like what he was seeing on the screen. The baby had fluid surround the bowels, and the kidney's where full of fluid. He said this was not good. But the heart and everything else was fine. He wanted me off my feet and very little movement. I was so very scared. But he wanted us to come back the next morning and take another look. So that's what we did. He didn't like the view again. So we all decided to have a C-Secion the next day. So November 23, 2004 at 7:30pm out came Carson Allen Roush. During this time I had family praying in Ar, Mo, In, Ms. I felt the prayers!! I really did. The prayers worked, we had things set up for if he needed to go to the children's hospital it was available. He was bad but not bad enough to send him away. I knew that he was going to be fine. So my son came out, everything on the outside was perfect. But on the inside. He has was is know as Hydronephrosi. It is dealing with the bladder and the kidney. The tube from the right kidney was not completely inserted in the bladder. So we had to take him to Labourers in Memphis. We went to a Dr that specialized in urology. My son was a month old when we had to place him on a board tied down from head to toe. So that he could have some test done. I knew this was to happen because we needed to know what was to happen. He told us we needed to surgery insert the tube. The Dr. wanted us to hold off until he got a little bigger to have the surgery. That sounded good right. The clause was he had to take a antibiotics and a steroid everyday for the first 10 months of his life. So we decided to have the operation on September 15, 2005. And the surgery took almost four hours. But the prayers keep coming, and again I felt peace. Since than
he has surgery to remove stints, surgery to put tubes in his ear, delt with Asama and allergies breathing treatments. And now he has to have an operation to remove the tubes. He is so worth it. Since we have had him, me and my husband have been truly blessed. We wish he didn't have to go through what he has been, but we are glad god chose us to be with this little bright boy.
