I've Been Busy!

I am still struggling with pain and fatigue, and I typically am on the couch until noon or so, but I have been able to do some things that I really wanted to be a part of.
I was able to go to Sarah's shower on August 17th and had a great time visiting with some homeschool moms I had not seen in a while.
I have gone to dinner with Bryan a couple of times and to my parents' to visit with some relatives from out of town.
Yesterday, I got a haircut (my wedding haircut) and even had some highlights put in, which make me look more like me. I can' tell you how many times I've seen people out in public who don't recognize me because my hair came in so differently - dark and curly. I'm hoping the highlights will make me more recognizable, and they really gave me a lift - looks aren't everything, but there's something about having hair that you like...
Today was a big event - I was able to do some college shopping with Katie, which meant alot to both of us. We also took Katie's friend, Whitney, so when I had to go sit and rest somewhere, Katie still had a buddy to shop with. I think Katie has almost everything she needs now; it is just a matter of packing it and taking it to Anderson. I am very excited for her, but I will miss her SOOOO much. No matter how old she is, she will always be "my baby"!
Your cards, calls, e-mails, meals, gift cards for restaurants have meant so much to me. It is so comforting to know that so many care and are praying. Hopefully, it is all downhill from here. I know that I will have to be patient, but I am seeing small changes everyday.
