Too Easily Amused

Hi there friends! I'm playing around with my blog and THINK I've discovered a fast, easy way to post from my cell. I guess we'll see if this works?!

I'll try to check in soon w the pictures I promised from last week. =-)

See ya soon!

(I'm *editing* this post to say that it WORKED! Everything above this was posted by my phone.. COOL, huh?) WHOO-HOO!

Now, I'm off to see about getting those pictures uploaded.

Oh, one other thing.... My sweet friend Jennisa from Once Upon A Blog has been doing some Christmas decorating for me. My 'Christmas blog' should be UP in a few days. I'm EXCITED to see something new.. and to have a way to CELEBRATE JESUS this holiday season!

Okay, I'll get back soon. I'm WAY OVERDUE in checking in with you guys. Things have FINALLY started to settle down, and I HOPE to get caught up with you all by tonight.

LOVE,

Tonya

I am sure you may already be connected with Tammy, but just in case...I wonder if you could head over there and encourage her today.

Great to hear from you, girl! I must admit, when you wrote that you're posting from your cell, I immediately thought, "Is Tonya in JAIL???" Whew...had me worried for a moment there! :)

Hope you and your family have an awesome Thanksgiving, just in case I don't get a chance to tell you before Thursday!; November 25, 2008 at 3:19 PM

I can't wait til we start singing, "O Christmas Blog, O Christmas Blog...."

Stopping by to visit and say Happy Thanksgiving to you! Is that you holding Brent when he was a baby at what looks to be in the park. It looks like you with long hair? You look so different if that is you. You are so pretty!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Sending love from our house to yours!

Brent's Story...

Our son Brent suddenly started to complain with back pain in the fall of 2004. He was playing flag football with the town league and loved to roughhouse with his two younger brothers so the pain was dismissed at first. After having him tested for kidney and bladder infections and finding him clear we finally asked for an MRI of his back. A couple of weeks later (the very day of the MRI) we received a phone call from his doctor saying that a tumor was found in his pelvic area. We were asked how quickly we could get him to St. Jude Children's Hospital - we left IMMEDIATELY. Later that same week we got the diagnosis. It was one that we would NEVER, EVER forget. It was Stage IV Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. His chances of survival when diagnosed were 1/4 - 1/3. When he relapsed we were reminded there was NO CURE. There was basically no hope of survival... none outside the HOPE we had in JESUS.

Brent fought long and hard. He was a Christian and LOVED his SAVIOR. He NEVER asked "why" or complained. He took each day as it was - a gift from GOD. Brent went HOME to be with the LORD on January 2, 2007. He was 11 years old. If I've EVER had a "hero" in this world.... it would be him.
