The joy keeps coming!

GRANDPA
So today I have to talk about the good and bad things that have been happening around here lately. June has been a month of both sad and happy days. My grandpa was in 3 hospitals in the span of 3 weeks. He went from Olney to Dallas and finally to Wichita Falls. We have been going to Wichita a lot to visit. He had good days where he knows everyone and felt great. During his bad days and nights he was in a lot of pain and he kept seeing Jill sitting or standing in a nearby chair. And no matter what kind of day he was having he would always ask Grandma the same question, "Are we going home today?" Finally he was well enough and strong enough to leave HomeHealth. Tuesday, June 22, Grandpa was released from HomeHealth and was able to come home! The doctor said grandpa probably would feel well enough to walk around much for a few days but as soon as he was home Grandpa was using his walker to take a long walk around his backyard!!! We aren't sure how long Grandpa will be with us but we know he will pass at home where he is most comfortable.

Aunt Jen
On June 21 we got some great news; after a very long time trying Nate and Amber are going to have a baby! I knew I was going to be Aunt Jen in October when Jamie and Eric have their little boy Wes but now I will have 2 babies to spoil! I am so proud of Nate and Amber; they have been in my prayers for a long time and now all of our prayers have been answered! It has been a long journey for them and I'm so proud to call them my family!

That has been the big news. The rest is fairly boring. Matt has has a few gigs and they have sounded great at all of them. I am still looking for a job but Matt says since we only have one car it isn't a priority. I can't wait to see what the future brings but until then God Bless You!
