2009

It's a new year and maybe I will use this blog.....maybe.  The year 2008 went by fast with many changes and challenges such as....Zach transitioning into financial advising to have the markets crash and leaving with no income. I was working extra at the hospital where usually we have so many babies we need extra help and now full time people are taking days off because we are over staffed. God is faithful though! We are still making and have actually grown closer because I am home more. Back before christmas Zach was really sick (and had been off and on for a while) and no one could seem to figure out was wrong. His spleen was enlarged, his white count was off, his liver enzymes were elevated and we started leaning in the direction of lymphoma. We went  to the Mitchelle cancer institute and even those doctors felt sure we were looking at lymphoma and began the process of trying to find a lymph node to biopsy. However, after running more blood test and ct scans everything came back normal and they decide it must have been a virus (or answered prayers, thanks to all who prayed for us). We welcomed our niece also the first grandbaby in the family on Zach's 30th birthday, Ryland Cole Kelly. Zach is still hunting for a job and we are cutting out alot of things. I am excited to see what this year brings as we grow closer together, oh yeah we bought a house Aug. 8. 2008, 3 bed 2 bath! It's our new little (big) project.
