update

Debi surgery went well and she came home on the Monday all though she felt sore and bruised. On friday she got her results and it was good news as far as there has been no spread but today she saw the oncologist and she know has to have radiotherapy and decide if she is to have chemo. But before that her and Andy are heading away for a weeks holiday on Saturday.

Debbie is having her operation this afternoon so if you spare her a thought and prayer.

Preperations

Were off on holiday tomorrow and i feel like all i have done all week is wash iron clean and sort clothes out but yet its Friday and i still don't feel ready. Its funny that Abi and Ste and even Macy are packed. I got in last night and Ste had spent all night looking for leads for his TV to take away with us which i located, cause he had left them lying around and i had tied them away. So consequently he didn't sort Macy's things out. Just as well he dosent need much his bed food treats and toys as he is off to stay with Uncle Peter. Not sure if he knows cause he was very clingy yesterday and then played Ste up. Anyway sure we will be ready leaving a tidy house and empty laundry basket. And as soon as were back the house will be as messy as ever and a full basket.

Baby Boom

There has been a bit of a baby boom at the army with 10 babys in the last 2 years and another on the way. Here is a picture of eight of them with will and Deb before they moved to training college





This includes a set of twins, but girls are much in demand with out of the ten there being there being 6 girls and 4 boys

Happy Birthday

Today would have been my dad's 74th Birthday. So Happy Birthday dad and Grandad. But while its a sad day its also one for counting blessings. I am so fortunate and have got so much to be thankfully for. I have a loving family. I have got Ste who is my rock and who over the last year has given me so much, and i find with each day i grew to love him and respect him more he is simple my best friend as well as my gorgeous husband and the most wonderful daddy. And of course there is Abigail the most beautiful girl, and i now how much love and joy she has given us and i thank god for giving her to us and i am so thankful we have her.

I guess the gift of Abigail is all the more precious when i see what my friend is going through there plans for having kids on hold and the chance that they may not be able to have kids at all. And why i know she would rather be cured and have no kids than be ill and have a child i hear the sadness the longing and the fear in her voice. I keep praying for them and know that god has a plan and he will reveal it in his time. I prey that i can be a good friend to her and be all that she needs me to be. Because no matter what she is going through she still took the time to phone me and check i was ok today. Friendship is a precious gift and one that we can too often take for granted. So today i am celebrating dads birthday and counting my blessings.
