Get ready to be boomarded with Posts

So I just got back from camp today...and some pretty awesome stuff happened...like we got two new brothers in Christ...one of them even prayed the prayer in front of everyone...so cool...makes me cry thinking of it...it was amaze-balls...

And my girls...let me just say I had the best cabin ever...I had to sort of fight for some of them...and I made the "best trade ever" of the year at our "drafting" so that was great...and man was it so worth it...they were honest and open and willing to learn and ask questions...and as the older at girls at camp they were great princesses...which is great because for our little devos we talked about princesses and being like princesses...which is surprising that I would choose to talk about that since I have always hated being called a princess...but as lessons it worked out great and the girls really lived up to it...

I also had a dreally great co-counselor in my best friend Nicole...she was so great at asking questions and getting the girls to understand different things...and she was great when she helped out with Girls Night with the Twins...I am very proud of her and I thought she showed a lot of wisdom and she worked so hard...I love love love that she is my best friend...

And I was able to do pretty much everything which is good since last year I wasn't...I did crash the last night big time but I wore myself out...thank God I made it through the whole week...I did have to do dialysis a few days but it wasn't to bad...I didn't really miss anything...and I was able to take a nap in the middle of those days...

I also got to spend a lot of time with this kid...

so that makes me super happy...I knew him when he was a cute little junior camper...and now he's a man...and a stud...basically I love him a lot and wish that we lived closer to one another so I could see him more than twice a year...

I also personally cried a lot...I tend to hold things in...emotion wise...so there were a few nights when I was super bawling...thinking about all that has happened and all that still will happen as we adjust to life...it's more overwhelming than I let on...so yeah...that wasn't fun but it was needed...I gotta stop holding all that in...

I also was asking my girls during the week what are something that God taught you thi past year or is still teaching you...they shared a lot of things about control and trust...and mine was that I am laerning to expect good things...I tend to be negative and think that good things aren't going to happen...like if I hear something good is going to happen I don't let myself look forward to it because I think it won't happen...something will happen to hinder the good thing from happening...but I have been learning to expect good things and ask God for good things because he does really want to give me good things not just work out his good in bad situations...that is somethign that I am still working on too...

This week we also learned about old testiment verses new tesitment and God's real love for us...the girls also learned about their value and worth at girls night...and the guys learned about leadership at boys night...

OH and Watson was baptised... which obvisously was great

So that's just a quick overview of some things that happened...I'll tell you some things more indepth later in the week...I'll probably post more videos and some pictures too...hope you enjoy them...

Scars

Image
I said quite some time ago that I would post a picture of my newest scar...and then I forgot...when I remembered I thought why not just do a post about my scars...I know people who have tattoos and show those off...but I don't have those instead my story is etched on my body in a different way...so here it is...and in some of them I tried to circle scars that I thought were hard to see but it may end up being easier to see them without my attempt at helping... So these first two are obviously of my stomach...the scar with the one by it is hard to see but that scar is over 20 inches long...it wraps around my left side...you can see the end of it in the picture below...that is from my first transplant from when I was 8...the scar with the 2 by it is from my most recent transplant...which as you can tell is much smaller and is still a little red because it's still healing...the three scars circled under my belly button in the bright blue are from dialysis when I was 21 mon

It’s been a while

Hey there, So it’s been a while. I wish I could say I was returning with amazingly great news about life or some mind blowing tidbit about Jesus. But I think by now if you are reading this or have rread any of my posts in the past you know that is not this blog. Having a blog that mostly chronicals the downs of being a person with a chronic illness means that posting again after a bit of a hiatus can really only mean one thing - more downs to report. If you’ve seen my recent social media posts. You might think, “How can that be? You are doing all this work at your house.” Well when you are sick you get good at knowing that life goes on no matter how you feel. So you go on and sometimes above with it. Here’s what is going on - after having a horrible appointment with a gynecologist in something like October I finally decided I really needed to see someone else because the increasing pain on and off my period is not ok. And as someone who has wanted a hysterectomy for more than 1

After Moving Day

Health update - I have been feeling better since starting this medication. The side effects were a little rough at first but I think my body has adjusted since I have been feeling much better and have energy again. Mom and Dad moved into their newly remodeled house this weekend and I am so happy for them. They have needed a one story house for a few years since they have been talking about it even before Dad's accident. We have already created so many fun memories and stories to tell during the renovation that I can't wait to see what other adventures this house has for our family. Often during this move I have felt like other people have been more attached to my parents house than my family. Sure my brother, sister and I all grew up in that house and we had a lot of fun memories in that house. But a four bedroom, two level house was too much house for my parents to live in alone. In the past few years instead of being able to remember the fun times in the house we've j
