Okay so I know my Grandma plays cupid but hearing my Grandpa confess to me that he was trying to play cupid with my life totally makes me laugh! There is no other way to put that! And he totally just laid it out there! Literally walks up to the guy and says, "I think you should date my granddaughter" Way to not beat around the bush there! Haha. I'm sitting at the table tonight looking stunned saying "YOU SAID WHAT?!?!?"" then of course I had to ask how it went and he calmly said, "He told me he would pray about it." Still makes me laugh! Only my Grandpa would do such a thing.

  Funny story.....also my fav at the moment! So Cameron had to get a haircut before he was technically allowed to work up front at The Spice so I did would any normal person would tell him to do.....I took him to Michael and told him to cut his hair as we were out of time. So with neither os us having ever given a haircut before EVER we did what any normal person would do!! We googled it! And not gonna lie when we first got started with it he sorta looked amish! It was definitely the funniest night EVER and PS--don't google haircuts--Michael did wonderful without it.

  So tonight Kristin, Amanda and I went to Island Park my most favorite place in all of Sarasota. As we were leaving I told Duh and K.T.that leaving here means going back into the real world and leaving the peace that I always seem to be able to find there. It's K.T.'s new fav spot so we'll be spending lots of time there now I'm sure! She's never been so I was excited to be the first to take her there.....and of course we hit up Starbucks on the way home.

  So my focus has been WAY off lately from where it normally is and also from where it should have been but I am finally able to say that after having two days off and being forced to be alone and think about things that I feel better now! I know what I want to do and what I don't and I need to remember that. Finally I am not so tied down and every once in a while freedom hits me right between the eyes and in some ways it's so scary and in other way it's so adventurous! I have all these things that I want to do in my life and now I just have to go and do them! Not gonna lie if money would start growing on trees it would make a huge difference as to how fast those things happened but oh well....with money comes more responsibility. I think Island Park helps a person clear their head too!

  Anyhow, so now I'm gonna hit the hay!! My Lindsay Jo will be back tomorrow and I can't wait to see her again! I missed her so much and I can't believe she's gonna leave me for Washington DC in September! Guess I still got a little time to change her mind! Have a night everyone! Peace out! ~Heidi

Hey everyone-

How goes it? I just got back from an amazing week-end at Women Of Faith!! They had so many awesome speakers it was like you could just sit there forever! The only problem was they put Sheila Walsh, Sherry Shepherd, Nichole Johnson, and Tammy Trent right after each other and I cried through all four of them!! If you haven't read Tammy Trent's book, "Learning to Breathe Again" about how she lost her husband you have got to go and get it because it is the most amazing book I have ever read in my life! I sat down and read it cover to cover without stopping once because I just couldn't put it down! She's got amazing story!

  Some of you know my aunt Judy and some of you remember getting e-mails about her before but if you think about it pray for her again. Her doctor just found another spot on her tonsil that he is having to check out. She just got through having surgery about a year ago for a lump on her neck that was cancerous and she has been through radiation and we thought it was all going to be okay from here on out. She has an MRI tomorrow and once we get the results back hopefully everything will turn out great! There is no way to describe what it does to you emotionally unless you have been through something like that but if you have been you know exactly what I'm talking about!

  I went to the doctor on Thursday last week and he told me that I have a deviated septum which will need surgery in the next couple of months here and really bad allergy problems so I'm on 4 different medicines right now to clear the allergies so he can think about doing surgery. I have an MRI in a month and that will tell us if that's the only problem or if there is more to it. I've been having horrible headaches and trouble sleeping and breathing at times too. The medicine he put me on only makes me more tired than I already am so it's pretty miserable to deal with this! We also did some bloodwork for thyroid problems and I do have hyperthyroidism but he hasn't done anything about that yet--have to go to another doctor for that and he said that's another reason I'm always exhausted! He has yet to look at my throat which is really the original reason I went in!! He said we have to clear this other stuff up first! So, that's what's new in my life.

  Anyhow, better get ready for church so I'll catch up with you all later! Have a wonderful week! ~Heidi
