We're here visiting the family in Abilene and Witchita Falls, we've had a really great time, although I think as far as sights I've definitely seen the majority in Abilene..but DEFINITELY can't get enough REAL Mexican food and REAL brisket... We were supposed to leave this am really early...but I had a nice bout of food poisoning last night and was in too much abdominal pain to make the flight. No worries I feel fine now although slightly sheepish, embarrassed, and a little irritated at the fascist CEO's that run airline companies. We will be heading back to our dear NC tomorrow night.. I like texas, I really do...but I really miss some trees... 2008-11-25 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=597390 It was awesome...needless to say and this video isn't the half of it. Actually it's not even half the song.... 2008-11-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=595942 I couldn't take Seth's picture down...I know I'm biased, but what a darlin'! Looked just like his daddy....In the words, of two very wise women...ZOW!!!! Anyways, SO excited for 1000 voices, last year was kinda a painful fuzzy blur since I was on Percocets plus exhausted from late nights and lots of grief weighing me down. This year is going to be an awesome year. For those of you who don't know, I'm currently working for a home health company taking care of two darling little boys who are little miracles. They were born at 27 weeks at one-lb each both weren't supposed to live through their first night, but here they are sixteen months old, both liking to sing and laugh at me. They're extremely sweet boys, who I love dearly and thank God that I can have such an awesome job hugging and kissing babies. Course, there is the "nursing" part of the job, they both have g-tubes and are delayed about six months as far as eating, talking, and walking, but otherwise are expec... 2008-11-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=590741 He'd be a year old on monday, I can hardly believe it, although it was really weird getting a magazine in the mail for decorations for a one year old's birthday. Sometimes, I can remember imagining when I was pregnant with him, thinking about his first birthday, I had never thought it'd be this way. I think we're going to go hiking in the mountains on his birthday and maybe eat somewhere nice up there. Needless to say he'd be a really cute one year old. Homesick by Mercy Me You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry Is how long must I wait to be with you I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know But, even if you showed me, the hurt ... 2008-10-23 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=584249 So having discussed this with Nathan and other people, and props to Jeff Young for a great sermon, I'm really excited about our economy. No seriously I am. And I have a peace within myself about this country and this "economic 9/11" that is relieving and I really think this whole situation can be "of God". This is an exciting time we're living in, yes we might lose our possessions our homes and might be a little hungrier, but what a wonderful opportunity we have before us. When everyone around us, our friends, co-workers (that is IF you are employed), and family are losing the possessions they've labored for, longed for, and striven for; when they have no home, no shoes, rags for clothes, and nothing in their hands to show for their years of focusing on things carnal. They will have to look somewhere, to anything, or to someone to help them. And where will they turn? Who can they turn to, but to Jesus? It's been hard to examine myself, to make myself purge ou... 2008-10-06 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=579685 I've been tagged apparently. By my mom or all people, but don't forget for those who don't know to go welcome my husband to pleonast...that is if you haven't already. 8 things interesting about myself that you might not know.... 1. I LOVE getting my haircut, it's the one pampering I do, although right now I'm trying to grow it out...so we'll see how long that lasts. 2. Nathan and I have a goal in the next two years to go on a mission trip SOMEWHERE...we haven't decided yet, but we will be getting visas and such shortly. 3. I'm a closet novelist, although I haven't written in a good while, I love to write children's stories. However, I don't think I've ever physically finished one, although most of my stories are ended in my mind. I have a secret fantasy that one day writing brilliance will suddenly strike me and I'll write a great American novel and Nathan and I can retire on the royalties. 4. Favorite pastime: Killer, mad, dance skills, something you have to see to believe. I mean... 2008-09-25 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=578527 Please welcome my beloved, love of my life, best friend, best roomate and so much more... Nathan at long last... 2008-09-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=577446 Please everyone if you don't already know, lift your hearts in prayer for lauren and her husband matt. They lost their daughter Macy today. Pray for their strength and faith to increase and for God's healing hands to be laid on them. 2008-09-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=571393 My first "official" day working with a patient is monday. Unfortunately, my manager forgot I need 36 hrs a week(to get full insurance) and this probabl won't be my patient...i might even have to work with adults- I'll do it- but seriusly I prefer children to adults- they're less whiny.... just joking... although children are less whiny than adults. 2008-09-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/drgann?l=5&entryID=565449 So Awesome! 2008-08-21
