Busy, busy . . .

Well, as you can probably tell, since I haven't posted in a month, life continues to be extremely busy. Ken's surgery went very well. The old stabbing pain that radiated up into his head seems to be gone...yay!!! He has very sore neck muscles from the surgery, but he's feeling a little bit better everyday. He looks and acts more like his old self now...I sure have missed him. We continue to hope and pray for his continued improvement.

Katie is doing well...her belly is getting bigger...to where she can't wear her old clothes anymore, but isn't really big enough for maternity clothes yet...I remember those days..... :) My sisters and I are planning a girls/guys baby shower for her and Seth next month. It's kind of early for a shower, but we wanted to do it before Seth's deployment in June. We wanted him to be able to feel like he was a part of everything...especially since he'll be gone when the baby comes in September. We're planning some GREAT games for the guys...teehee. His battery is getting a couple weeks of block leave in May, so that'll be the best time for the shower...and, unfortunately, a farewell. Talk about bittersweet.....

I'm in between business trips right now...just got back from one Wednesday night and will leave on another Sunday morning. Then I have one more the end of April, after which things should slow down enough for me to spend some time with my family. I think I'll take a couple days off while Seth and Katie are in town...that way Katie and I can spend some time "wishing" at Babies "R" Us, and I can get plenty of hugs from Seth before he leaves. Like I said...bittersweet.....

Life continues to amaze me, though, and I'm enjoying every minute of it...I am so blessed!!!
