Another first for Ryan

I don't have any pictures because Shane has the camera in California, but I took out Ryan's 5 stitches today. My mom's cat "reached out and touched someone" and split Ryan's lip from the bottom of his nose down to the beginning of his lip. I was hoping to just get dermabond which is this super glue that they use, but no such luck. Ryan was great though. He didn't cry at all except when I held the numbing solution on his lip. He wanted to take it and look at it, or more likely eat it! But other than that, no tears. The doctors were pretty amazed that he didn't cry and one doctor even came in with cotton in his ears prepared for his torture! After it was all said and done Ryan was definitely ready to go home!


Shane comes home after being gone for two weeks on Saturday. He is on some Navy training and they are out in the field. I have only been able to talk to him a few times and he has told me that he's been sleeping in a fox hole! Wow. Not exactly my idea of a good time. But you know, he loves it! He is called to a mission and he is fulfilling it to the utmost of his capability. Way to go baby! We are so proud of you!
Jesus gives us grace and we get through the times that he is gone. Day by day. All those scriptures come to mind of two are better than one, if one falls down he has one to pick him up, and how can one be warm alone? Yep, I'm pretty sure that I am in love and ready for the love of my life to come home. I can't wait to put my arms around him.
