unexpected trip

Well it has bee an interesting Sunday!! Went to church this morning and as Alex was wrapping up his sermon, I started having chest pain, my left shoulder had been bothering me during the service but I didnt think much about it because it hurts from time to time with changes in the weather. So when my left arm went numb and the chest pain started I looked at Robby and told him what was going on and that I didnt feel right. So we headed out during announcements to get the kids. Now today was the big eggstravaganza at church so we brought our neighbor with us, while Robby went to get the kids I sat on the floor across from child pick up to wait. The walk from the santuary to the childrens area wore me out and I was out of breath. So while I am sitting there some very nice lady I think Carol was her name that works with the kids came to check on me. She then got her husband who got a ba police officer and one of our pastors and another church person as well as a nurse that was working in the kids area. I was surrounded by awesome people and totally embarrassed!!! Christy who I teach with and is a sweet friend of mine was there with her son and she came and sat with me and helped with the girls when they got there! I tried to keep joking and smiling because the girls were terrified! They ended up calling 911 for the ambulance, once they got there they loaded me on the gerny and brought me to the hospital! I think I finally got into the ER about 1:15 so from church to the hospital it took about 20 min!! We stayed down in the ER until after 5pm doing EKG's and a cat scan with dye, the EKG's were good, not sure about the cat scan yet. They decided to keep me overnight for observations, and to do a stress test in the morning. I thought okay that will kind of suck but I can deal! Once they got me upstairs and towards my room I discovered that I wasnt going to be alone!!!! I have a roommate! I am sorry but that is just kinda creepy to me to have to share a very small room and one small bathroom with someone I dont know who seems to be much sicker than me!!!! While I was waiting in the hallway with my dad for the nurse to change the sheets on my bed, a lady down the hall starts screaming "Help Me, Help me, somebody help me!! I am a child of Jesus you cant do this to me"!!! I just looked at my dad and had to laugh a little, here I am in a strange room with a stranger and down the hall is some woman who sounds totaly 10-85 (cop speak for crazy) GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!! So all night about every hour or so this woman screams HElp me Help Me, I am praying that God will help her with whatever issues she has and will help me to get out of here and back home to my family!!!

Long time update!!!

Okay so I have figured out I am not real good with the blog thing!!! Since I havent updated in almost 2 years!! My new goal for this year will be to blog at least once a month! We will see if I can keep up with it!! A lot has changed since I last blogged. I have moved up to become a 4th grade teacher. Both of my girls are going to school with me, which has been a challenge in itself, and since November my wonderful Mother-in-law has been living with us!! We call this place the "Crazy House" a term that was given to us by my mother in law!! It truly is a crazy house!!! But we sure do have a good time!! The girls are growing so fast! Its so hard to believe that we only have 40 days left in this school year and then Bekah will be a 5th grader, her last year in elementary school!! Where did this time go?! My baby is about to be a 1st grader!!! Robby and I are pretty sure we are done having kids, but we both feel adoption on our hearts, I am in prayer that the Lord will lead us in the direction he wants us to go! So my mother in law was laid off of her job after 20 years, her company closed! It has been an emotional and stressful time for her! She moved in with us in November to look for a job here in Tulsa, it has been such a blessing having her here with us! She has been such a wonderful help at the house and the girls have had the time of their lives spending much needed time with her!! although losing a job is hard, I have discovered in this instance and in Robby's lay off, it has been a blessing from God! He knows what he is doing and has provided us with time that we would not have otherwise had!! This has been a stressful year at school for me, new grade level, new school (we moved into a new building about a week before school started) it seems as though we started running at mach 2 and havent stopped since. But it has been good! I have rekindled my love of teaching and am considering going back to school for my masters degree! Just have to spend some time praying about it to decide what steps to take and when!
