Turkey shirts!
I tried my hand at appliqueing tonight! I want to sew so badly but am a big old chicken. I finally deiced that I just had to jump in and learn as I go. These are my first shirts and I am beyond thrilled with how they turned out. I posted a pic on facebook and already had 4 people order them! Now remember I am JUST getting started. SO be nice! HA!

Thankful
I meant to do this yesterday and link to the Thankful Thursday people but kinda missed it! I can still be thankful on Friday! HA! I thought it would be fun to look at the many blessings that surround me.
Like I said in the last few post, it has been a rough year for our family. It would honestly be easier to sit back and be sad or hang on to the negative that has happened. But I decided that it was time to feel joy again. God has never left our side and never will. For that alone, I am very thankful.
I am thankful for God's grace. His love knows no limits and He will never leave us. God loves me for the sinner that I am. He sent His son to die for me. Jesus paid with His life for us all. I cant think of one more thing that I could be more thankful for.
I will share more things I am thankful for in the next few days.

When it rains it pours
So sorry I haven't been regular with the updates on Sam's dad. He is now in a nursing home and we aren't really sure if he will be able to go back home. We are hoping that this nursing home will be able to continue some intensive therapy and get him as close to the old self he was.
Two weeks ago my uncle was tragically killed by a drunk driver. He and his 14 year old daughter were leaving a high school football game and they were both struck while crossing the street to their car. My uncle pushed my cousin out of the way and took the full hit. My cousin had a broken right ankle and chipped bone on the right leg. Her left leg was badly bruised and she will be in a wheel chair for a few more weeks.
We found out yesterday that the man that hit them was drunk. He will be arrested and charged with vehical manslaughter. His 14 yr old step son was in the truck with him so he is looking at charges for that as well. We had suspected from the night it happened that the man was drunk but we were just waiting on the results to come in.
Our comfort in all of this is that my uncle accepted Jesus a little over a year ago.
Our family has had a very rough year. Sometimes I let myself drift and wonder what in the world have I/we done. I do know that God doesnt give us more than we can handle. I also know that in all of this pain we are going through that there will be a bigger blessing in the end. It would be a bigger tragedy to let myself become so consumed with anger that I miss the blessing.

improvement
Sam's dad is doing better! He was even moved to rehab yesterday. Lots of people have been praying for him and he can feel it. It is a relief to see Sam less worried/stressed about his dad. We know there is still a long road ahead but God has gotten us this far!

A rough two weeks
I hate sickness. No, I hate things that take people from you that you love. It has been a very long two weeks. I hate watching my husband hurt.
Two weeks ago, my father in law went in for a heart cath. He came out of surgery and was fine. An hour later they noticed his speech was slurred and he wasnt acting right. He had a massive stroke. They figure he had it after he was brought out because he was fine for a while. He ended up slowly losing his speech, movement on his left side and honestly his personality. He ended up becoming aggressive and that is not like him. He spent the next 5 days being sedated and restrained. He also developed a very bad pneumonia.
They woke him up a week ago and he is moving a little better. We dont know what he remembers and who he remembers. He still hasnt regained any speech. He will be having to get a feeding tube tomorrow because he has failed two swallow test.
Please pray for him and us. He has a very long hard road ahead of him.

Josie's shower!
I co hosted a cute shower for a dear friend today! Monica will be welcoming her baby girl in October and we just can't wait! Her nursery is really cute with bold colors and birds. I LOVE her bedding! This is a pic of the cake. I saw it on Jill's blog for her baby shower and knew I had to have it! Not sure if that is ok or not (please dont judge! LOL)
I just realized I never took a pic of Monica or any people for that matter! Oh, I am so not the person to had the camera too. Anyway here are some more pics.
