My little Ashley...

Recently my little cousin Ashley had another flare up of her Sturg Weber Syndrome. She started having headaches and getting sick on her stomach. Knowing her history well, her parent's took her to the hospital. She started seizing later that day. She seized for about 4 days before she was stable enough to come home. We played at my grandmothers' on Sunday, and she was back to her normal, fun, quiet, sweet self. Ashley is one great kid! I know I'm biased because she is my cousin, but truthfully I can't remember a child with the patience she has. She has a little sister who is around 17mths old. Ashley lets her little sister follow her around, tackle her, take her toys, and basically watches over her. Ashley will walk up to Addison and ask her if she wants to play. Addison will drop whatever she is doing to play with her big sister. I love that relationship. They are sweet kids, I can't wait to go outside this summer and play!




On to talking about coffee again...

John and I went to Costco last week and picked up a new coffee. I have decided to go half and half with caffeine now, so the other half is just decaf Kirkland store brand. We tried Don Pablo, family owned and operated. I like it, a lot! It is a medium roast, very robust with flavor. I love it black. I can drink most coffee black, but it doesn't always mean I love it. Don Pablo is so good, I don't want to put anything in it at all. The taste is hard to place, it doesn't have a nutty or chocolate flavor. It is pure coffee. If you haven't tried it before, I recommend it. Pour you a cup or five and let me know what you think!



John and I don't have a lot going on this week. We are hoping to meet up with Sheena and Andrew later this week for dinner. I work the weekend. I think I have a lot of days coming up where I work 2-3 days and only have 2 off, work 2-3 and have 2 off. I prefer having more off in a row, at least 3, so I can get more done and feel rested. John has stayed steady at work, thank you Jesus! Last year during the winter, their work slacked off and he only worked 3-4 days a week. This winter he had to ask for time off! I wish he could find more of a 9-5 type job. I know he still wants to teach. I'm just happy God has blessed us both with steady work. I'm ready for a house, and new furniture. I wanna paint and make a home. It will come, I know it will. I need to learn some patience!

Thanks to everyone who prayed for Ashley. God made one special little girl! Hopefully she will keep healthy, no more seizures, and no more worries...
