It's my Happy Anniversary.

Hi everyone.
Sorry I  have not come to visit you yet. I will very soon. Hearing from all of you was so great. I feel like I have been separated from the world for far to long.
I've had some stuff this week. My mother in law is in the hospital with pneumonia. Apparently pneumonia is determined to take someone in our family.
She is not doing well and yesterday she wrote goodbye on her note pad. She cannot speak as she is intubated  with oxygen and a feeding tube. If you are a prayer person we would appreciated your prayers.
As for the rest I am doing much better and should be back to my old self quickly. I have lost 12 of the 16 pounds I had gained via fluids and I don't feel like such a blob now. I can actually wear something other than sweat pants and I can now taste my food, although everything taste different right now.
Today is a special day as we are celebrating my 8th anniversary. For some of you 8 years of marriage is a very short amount of time. For others you are just starting down this road in life. Either way today is our day to celebrate. It's a great day because I'm alive to celebrate it with the best man in the world. It's a great day because I'm well enough to watch my little grand daughters, and it's a great day because through all the things I've been through in the close to last decade, my best friend has been along for the ride.
I can't picture life without him. 
I think I will start posting on Fridays and maybe Saturdays as that is my time off. Trying to write with a 1 year old that wants to  
"Hep" is difficult. haha
So for today I just wanted to update you and tell you, I am back. I will come visit soon, and best of all I'm excited to see what you are all up too. :)
