Back into the world

I'm dipping my toes in slowly but surely..I am now months later home. Ahhh home. I do have one of those don't I? I am thrilled and better than I've been in a long time. I have occassional spurts of "normal" sickness if I do too much activity. But compared to what I've been through PIECE OF CAKE...I am still on 5 medications..which gross me out but I gotta do what I gotta do I guess..and man o' man am I fatigued and have no energy EVER. With Ava's pregnancy I didn't ever need a nap and now I'll get sick if i don't sleep during the day- crazzy how boys take it all outa ya huh!

Moving on though (exhausted from even talking -thinking about sickness)...
Here's a fast update to get every reader back up to whats goin on in Allie's life.

Uhm there is so much..I'll try to remember it all..
Ava walks now and she is super speady. She gets faster and taller with every day I can not believe my baby is turning one soon! Can you!!

Our Christmas back home was just lovely besides running to about 10 different houses Oh and did I MENTION WE DROVE ...Needless to say we are sick of driving. For now on flights are the way to go.

My brother was home from college in Arizona for the first time since going and got to meet Ava...He cried and just adored her so much I loved that experience seeing them together we can not wait untill he graduates and have more time with him to catch up I know being away and being broke lol..will be so worth it so keep him in your prayers if you know him !!


I had the pleasure to have a visit in the following places and hospitals..
Lima, Ohio
Kettering, Ohio
Tampa, Fl
Sarasota, Fl

Donny is wonderful, amazing, and handsome as ever I might add with the gag gift he shaved his head into a mo-hawk. Correction: I shaved my husbands hair into a mo-hawk. BUT LADIES AND GENTS I might add although I almost cried that he would do that to me..(haha) he looks very good in a biker- hairier kinda way..Don't ask what this faze is and where it came from I have no idea and I am not responsible. His go-tee is longer and shaggier and redder than ever oh yea and up my nose when we kiss...lovely picture isn't it. LOL! He cracks me up though and I try to find a positive in a negative so here we go it elongates his face (he has very very round cheeks)..but seriously it works...He's cute.
Plus if you look at how my daughter's hair is growing in they now look like twins lol.

Ava said Da-da and Nana..oh and no (thats a fun one.)..and num nums since I last wrote.

Ava is signed up for her first beauty pageant I am soooooo excited!!

hmm...still waiting to hear back from Don's boss on where he's being transfered..

And sorry no crazy craving stories..at least not yet. But one thing I have done different is almost cried Ok well a tear with laughter came out..when I didn't have a food I wanted ..strange I know lol but man it makes for a funny story later!
My mom was cracking up..I just wanted burger king french fries so bad! and we couldn't find a burgerking for miles! And then another time we ran out of turkey and I just wanted a turkey sandwich soooo bad Oh the hormones..At least I know when it happening I am not completely insain and actually sad..the tears just come and they are uncontrolable haha..

I could really list a million things here people but I'll sum it all up and say New year , new me and I am so excited for 2009. It's supposed to get so much better from here on out. (This is fact my mom went to a phycic and she says so lol)...But I'll just start posting again and start from 2009. Have a blessed and happy weekend!
