Tired.

That's pretty much how I have felt for what seems like forever. There has been so much going on and I'm just tired from it all. Physically, emotionally, and mentally.

The world lost another great man last week. The Lord called Roy up last Wednesday. John and I had gotten to go see him the Monday before he passed away and he was asleep the entire time. He could barely stay awake long enough to drink a little fluid. John and I got to meet his son, Mike, and we talked with him for a long time. At one point Roy did wake up for a split second and saw us and smiled. It was sweet. So sad to see him in that state though. This past Monday was his funeral. It was a beautiful service. My little brother got up and gave part of the eulogy. I was so proud of him and I know my dad would have been too. All of this made me miss my dad more than you can imagine. After the funeral we went to the grave for the 21 gun salute for his military honors. It's still hard to believe he is gone. Such an amazing, kind man. He will be greatly missed.

Roy and my dad at a State game...silly guys. At least they are together now.

We also found out that John's uncle Scotty may not have much longer either. He has had issues with his lungs and has had to be put on a ventilator in the past. Well they had to put him back on it recently. Usually, if you are put on it for a third time, you dont come back from that. So John and I went to visit him on Sunday. He was in an induced coma since he wanted to keep pulling the oxygen stuff out of his mouth and nose. Again, so sad. We spent some time with his family. The past few days he has been doing MUCH better.They actually have taken him off the ventilator and he seems to be getting somewhat better. Please keep him and the family in your prayers. If he pulls through this, he is a possible candidate for a lung transplant.

I also found out that Beth Chase, a very dear lady to me, has cancer. She has always been such a role model for me. Her and her husband have such an amazing marriage too. John and I have looked to them for years and hope when we have been married as long as them that we are still as much in love with each other as they are. I'm sure we will be, but it's refreshing to see. Her cancer is 85% curable, which is great, but she is going to have to go through a lot of chemo and radiation. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. We are good friends with her son, Thomas, and Thomas's kid is our godson!

Woodstock was officially totaled. We should find out early next week the amount they are going to offer us for the car. I hope and pray that all of this goes smoothly. We cannot find a car that is comparable for a similar price :(. I hope the insurance company looks at what is comparable? I doubt it, but we are going to try and see. I dont want to make money off of this- I just dont want to lose any money and would like to have a comparable car when all is said and done. Just please keep us in your prayers! This is all so stressful!

Other than that, obviously not having the same hours as John has really been wearing on us both. We still havnt finished making our new apartment our "home" yet and really need some time together without everything else going on to get it done. Hopefully soon.

I am ready for this all to pass! I need some good news in my life for a change. haha. I guess it could always be worse. I just need a vacation and time to rejuvenate myself.
