Eden married Kevin last weekend. The weather was beautiful, friends and family gathered, and it all went well. Below are a collection of photos of the day taken by various people.
Trixie
I’ve wanted a full size poodle as a house dog for years. I started looking for one a good five years ago, and quickly learned I couldn’t possibly spend the money on one that they were selling for. Thousands. I half heartedly looked for one ever since, but never found one in my price range. […]
Pepper
Wednesday afternoon after I got discharged from the hospital I took some of the kids and my dog Pepper for a walk. We were having a great time, walking for almost two hours. I had Pepper on the leash and we were almost back to the house when the neighbor’s dog came up to sniff […]
Shingles.
I’m recovering. Slowly. I’ve not felt so poorly in a long time. My lesions have mostly healed and gone away, leaving just scars, but the pain remains pretty intense. I’ve taken more ibuprofen in the last week and a half than I think I did for the entire year prior. I’m working and functioning but […]
Back to school 2023
We started co-op last week. I got our traditional back to school photos – a month after we started at home, but on the day that we finally made it to go-op. Illness prevented our first day the week before. Without further ado, this year’s stats: Lach is 2, went into his class at co-op […]
Stress.
Monday morning after work I was driving home when I checked over my shoulder to change lanes and felt weird neck pain. That was new. As the day went on it got worse, and by Wednesday I’d decided it was swollen lymph nodes. I had no other symptoms, but I braced myself to get sick […]
All the things.
Pierce’s eeg came back with the best possible news. Zero seizures. No abnormalities were seen in the area that that previously started all of the seizures. There’s one small spot in the back of his brain that slows for a fraction of a second occasionally but it was not concerning and did not cause any […]
So close.
I’m sitting in a dark hospital room with Pierce, waiting for his 24 hour EEG to be over. To my knowledge, he was seizure free for the duration but I’ll learn more later this morning. Wednesday night, as I was packing to come, Blaine was out working on my little Civic to do some maintenance […]
Announcing: Eden and Kevin
Eden and Kevin, a fellow corrections officer at the prison where Eden works, have been dating for a bit. After a few serious conversations with Blaine and I, Kevin asked for Eden’s hand and was given our blessing. They are making plans to marry this October. Kevin loves Jesus, loves Eden, and has eaten dinner […]
Pierce
A year and a day ago, Pierce had a seizure that Eden witnessed in his sleep, quickly followed by two more next to me in my bed, and a fourth in the hospital. An ambulance ride to a children’s hospital 90 miles away followed. An MRI, EEG, and many meds were next. Our move to […]
