Been a while..

I know that it has been a while since I have posted an entry. I am sorry.
I had jaw surgery on Tuesday and I have been recovering and sleeping everyday. Yesterday was the first day I have gotten to get outside the walls of my house. The only other time is with Alex and she has had to practically carry me wherever we went. It was crazy. She has been making fun of me since I could actually get out of the house. I have so many good friends. Almost all of my friends came to see me while I was down. My boyfriend is....... WONDERFUL! He has been so attentive to me!

Caroline rolled from her stomach to her side by herself yesterday! We are so excited.. She is doing sooooo good. Thank you for your prayers..again.

Last Saturday-->Taylor's party.. BEST ONE ALL YEAR! A lot of people were there. Got to catch up with a lot of people.
Monday- We went snake hunting.. Me, Rayce, and a couple of other people =)
Yesterday- I went and took my chemistry exam.. Made 100.. yay! Im now a JUNIOR.. only 2 more years. Then I went to eat at subway with Meg. I slept at the Mexican restaurant haha. Then we went to Meg's swimming for our class party.. And then we went to the lake for another party. Quiet. Small. Good.

Going snake hunting tonight.. Me, Rayce, and a couple of other people... =)

Peaut is home..

Sorry to those of you who are upset about me not updating this past week. It has been very hectic. And also, to those of you who did not know.. Caroline is home and she is good. The doctors to LaBonheur didn't really tell us anything that we haven't already heard about. It wasn't suprising that they couldn't get anything else and better news, but it really hit all of us hard having to hear the results again. It's hard enough having anxiety about what is going on because you haven't heard from anyone in a couple of hours.. But it's even worse when you get the phone call with bad news, yet again.. GOOD NEWS though->Caroline has stopped seizing! Thank the Lord. I thank you for all of your prayers!

Saturday--->
I am proud to say that the Central Academy Lady Vikings have won their first State Championship!!!!! YAY! We hosted the tournament and Lamar Christian, Kemper, and Russell Christian came to play. We took the win anyways! Caroline came.. Sweet thing. She got sunburned unfortunatly though. Oops. She is ok though. We had a lot of fun at the lake that night.. In honor of the softball girls.. Rayce and I stayed at my Daddy's.

Sunday-->
Happy Mother's Day! Caroline was dedicated into the church. That was fun. She was good the whole time! We win the family award! We had the most family members show up! After church, everybody and their mother came to my Daddy's house for a huge celebration! Rayce and I couldn't stay but about 15 minutes. We went into town and spent time with his mother and the rest of his family.. Then after that, we came to my house. We then spent time with my mother! We made our rounds! It's hard having a significant other. You have to go more places on every holiday..

Anyways.. Surgery is next Tuesday.. I'm getting pretty nervous about the whole situation.. And I also hope that everyone has a great week!

LaBoneur

Caroline is gone to LaBoneur.. Please keep our wonderful blessing in your prayers. Also, keep our family in your prayers. Daddy and Corrin need all the help that they can to stay strong!

I dont know what Peanut is going to do. She is going to have to sleep in her OWN bed.. That's a big step. She sleeps with Corrin and Dad or when I'm out there, she snuggles up with me. I guess she will be ok. Corrin has an emailing list that is going out. If you would like to be on it, let me know and I will do my best to get up with her to tell her or I will update you myself.

We're watching The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in history. Its good. I really like it so far. Its pretty sad on the other hand. Its about the Nazi's and the Concentration Camps that they set up for the Jews. A man gets hired for a higher position in the Nazi army and takes it. His son meets a Jew on the other side of the fence and doesn't know why he is there. The movie is about a Jewish child and the other boy getting to know each other through the fence and forming a bond. It was a horrible thing that the Nazi's did to the Jews and I do not agree with it at all. But this movie is good so far, and I think that everyone should watch it.

There is a board meeting tonight. HA! Wonder how this one will turn out.. Why is this such a big deal? Get over it. This is ridiculous that there is this much drama going on in one school. Like I said before, get over it and move on with your lives.

Keep us in your prayers!

Special..

I know that I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. I was going to last night and then I had an emotional breakdown. Which I will probably be talking about in most of this entry.

Last night, at youth, we were watching a speaker on a dvd that Steve has. We watched the same guy speak at a difference conference at the last youth session. I really like him. The point on the sermon was-

Why does God put suffering and sorrow in our life? Should we turn away from him because it is in our lives?

This really hit me. Im being dead serious. In the sermon he was really emails that he had received from people from around the world who were seeking his help. That must be a great feeling to know that you could help so many people. There was a guy that sent him an email. In the email, he was talking about how he was wondering where God was. He wanted to know.. His sister had passed away. She was killed in a car accident. He didn't believe that there was a God anymore because after all the prayers that people put out for his sister, she still died. He sent him an email back talking about how his sister was in a better place and God has a plan for everything.

There was another.. This one really touched my heart.. A girl named Lauren. She told him that she was a senior at the University of Florida and that she would be graduating in about 5 months. She sent him an emailing explaining how she wasn't a Christian but her roommate was. She wanted to get in touch with the Lord and learn more about him. Right then, he prayed for her that she could become in touch with the Lord. By this time, he had explained to us that her parents were divorced and her father was an athiest. She sent him an email back a week before her graduation at Florida. She was telling him how wonderful her life had been telling people about the Lord and all his great doings. She had definatly made a change in her life. One week later, he got another email.. Instead of it being from Lauren. It was from her mother, Anna. She wrote him to tell that Lauren had died in a car accident. Her car was the only car involved. She died from heavy internal bleeding. She then went on to explain how happy he was that he helped her become a Christian. She explained how the last 5 months of her life had been the best months of her life because she was living them teaching people and learning things more for herself about the Lord. The story then led on to tell about her father emailing him also and thanking him.

I got into my car after church. Asking a bunch of questions in my head.. Thinking about Caroline. Is that wrong? To ask questions? It just hit me really hard.. I don't want Caroline to have to suffer through things in her life. She's already a strong baby. Everyone that has been around her knows that. I kept telling myself that. Thats the first time I have broken down about the whole situation in a couple of weeks. But.. All these teenagers that don't care about there children and people getting abortions and things. It would just hurt to know what it would be like for them if they had Caroline's problems. I linked back knowing that God sends special babies to special people. It takes a special family. We are that special family. In my eyes, Caroline is going to be just as normal as any other child that I have ever seen in my life. Doctors do not know everything. They have already said that she wouldn't smile. I have proof that she can.. Look on my facebook. They said that she won't be able to make noises.. TOO LATE DOCTORS! she is making new noises. Daddy, Corrin, Nana, and I have all witnessed them.. She is going to be perfectly fine.. She is our beautiful bundle of joy and I would not trade her for the world..

-->PROM-

Throwing her Red headed fit..

My Handsome Date My Alex...

There are more pictures on facebook.. I am not going to upload them on onto my Blog.

The outside world...

CAROLINE MET THE OUTSIDE WORLD...
Caroline finally got to meet the real world.. Corrin and Daddy brought her to my game yesterday.. Everybody met her.. Everybody thought that she was beautiful.. Because she is, of course. She didn't put on a show with everybody. She only got a little aggravated when people started talking really loud around her.. When they woke her up, she was get a little bit upset. But, anyways. She was a big hit at the Softball and Baseball games. Anyways..

Prom-
I got ready and the Banks' house. It was Micah, Meg, Alex, and I. The prom part, It was good. The DJ wasn't as good as we all thought it was going to be.. But we all kind of made it fun! I got to meet at least 5 new people that night. 1 at prom and the rest at the party. Which was fun also. I had fun with my date, Walker. He was fun! I was exhausted Sunday..

There is not much that I can say about this weekend.. It was fun.. Everyone looked beautiful.. I will post pictures when I get them fixed like I want them. Peace.

EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS ABOUT CAROLINE!

Thank you all for your prayers. This has really helped our family and God is working His wonderful magic, yet again.
Today, Caroline went to the doctor in Jackson for her Barium test, which means her swallow test, and she passed that with flying colors! YAY! They then took her to see the Endocrinologist, Dr. Moss, to see if she was progressing any.. Guess what? He said that he was very very very surprised in how much she has progressed since the last time that she had been. Thank you all so very much for your prayers and thoughts at this time of need.
I left out some names the other day. SPECIFIC ones that I need to clarify on this post. I want to thank-->
Rayce Penick- You are wonderful. I don't think I could ask for a more understanding boyfriend and best friend. You have been here for me for a year and a half and have been there for me through every step of this, loving Caroline just as much as I do. To the point where you were going to skip classes and come back home to be with me. You mean so much to me. You know that my family loves you and wants me to spend the rest of my life with you. You are so good to me. I love you.
Macki Penick- Thank YOU! You have been there for me since you found out everything that has happened and I thank you. You have helped me and kept my faith strong. You have seen children in this situation and have led me to know that she will be great. You are a wonderful inspiration.
MY MOTHER!- I know how hard this may for you to get through. I know this is not something that every divorced mother would do. I love you. You have been there for me through thick and thin and I dont know if you can get any better than that but you have been. I love you!
CORRIN AND DADDY!!!!- EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY! I LOVE YOU BOTH!
