Gina wanted a word post from me, so here you go…

I’m taking quite a long break from skating and I’m really enjoying it so far. I don’t miss it at all, so I’m thinking it was time I needed a break from it. I’m starting up again in August, so we’ll see if I miss it by then. I’m trying to decide if I want to still skate this next season, or if I just want to coach. I have a feeling that if I just coach, I’m going to really miss skating for myself. I’ll just keep praying about and see what happens when the time comes to make my final decision.

In health news, I had my MRI done about 3 weeks ago and went to see my doctor a couple days ago for my results. The MRI was totally normal, which was a HUGE answer to prayer. The technician did note that I have a cyst on my brain though. They say I’ve had it since birth and that it’s not doing any harm or anything. I thought it was pretty weird that they could tell that I have had this cyst since birth. My doctor has now diagnosed me with migraines and we’ve now started medication. The kind I am trying right now is VERY expensive, so I’m glad we have good insurance at work. The only problem with this medication is that if you don’t take it at the very first sign of your migraine, it won’t do anything. Some days I’ll wake up with a migraine, so on those days, I can’t take my medication. I have to go back to see her in 6 weeks and then we’ll see how this medication is working. If it’s not doing the job, then I guess we’ll try something else. I want to thank you all for your prayers on this!

Life is going to start getting a bit busier now again, since baseball starts next week. Our first game is on Monday. I’m just the scorekeeper again this year. Hopefully we can do a bit better than we did last year!! Ha-ha

I am itching to go camping, but I will have to wait a bit longer. We are going to Grand Forks next weekend with the camper and I’m pumped!! We’re leaving Friday at lunch and coming back home on Sunday. All 6 of us are going, so it should be a really good time like usual.

For those of you with kids that live in this area, the MB church is having a children’s carnival on July 1st from 4-8. I’ve volunteered to help with this function and I’m starting to really look forward to it. They’ve been asking for volunteers in church for awhile now and I wasn’t sure if I should or not, so I prayed about it and talked to Matt about it. Matt wanted to know why I wasn’t totally sure about helping and I told him it was because I didn’t think I was that good with kids. He told me that I am good with kids and that I should help out since it would be fun for me. So, I signed up and am going to a planning meeting next week! If you are interested in the carnival and want more information on it or have questions about it, just leave me a comment and I’ll do my best to answer it.

I apologize for the long, boring post. Hope your week is off to a great start. Hope you all enjoy the sunshine!! Oh and if you’re a fan of old muscle cars like I am, Courtesy Motors is having a car show tonight.
