But recently, a professional organization that I'm a member of- NANN (National Association of Neonatal Nurses) had a story contest. It was a "Brighter Tomorrow's" story contest. They wanted stories about things that NICU nurses had experienced that were relevant to the NICU nursing practice, but were also inspiring. I could think of a million little things I have experienced in the years I've been a nurse, but one story stood out- my Isabella. If you know me, you know Isabella. She is 5 years old, and I met her in May 2006, when she was admitted into the NICU. She fought for her life for 6 months and now she is nothing but a spunky, bossy, prissy, beautful and precious precious little girl. So, I was allowed 500 words to tell of a 5 year long friendship with Isabella and her mom, Monty. I entered the contest, and can you believe it?? I actually won! I get to go to the NANN conference now in Orlando, Florida in September, which is great because I need the contact hours for my certification!! I thought I'd share the story, and the pictures I sent, on the blog. Enjoy!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Isabella was born at 31 weeks gestation in May of 2006. She was transferred the a NICU near her hometown for observation. After 2 days of life, her weight went from 4 lbs 2 oz to 2 lbs 0 oz. Her blood pressure was dangerously high. She was showing signs of renal failure, and the beginnings of multi-organ failure. The decision was made to transfer Isabella to LeBonheur Children‘s Hospital for higher level care. I knew when I received report from the transferring facility that this baby girl was very critical. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Pedi-Flite team brought her in; this tiny, pale little girl with flailing arms and a feisty spirit. She was a fighter, screaming and swinging her arms as I admitted her and performed the necessary rapid assessment. Her blood pressure remained critical through the night, and into the next few days and weeks. Over the next 6 months during her stay in my NICU, she developed a pericardial effusion, requiring an emergent procedure to pull the fluid off her heart so she could survive. She also developed Necrotizing Enterocolitis requiring surgery, severe reflux requiring a G-Tube, and bleeding in her brain which developed into “PVL,” or periventricular leukomalacia. She required several central lines, endless transfusions, labs, ECHO’s, and other tests. Yet, she never lost her determination to live. I became one of her primary nurses, and I began to love her as if she was my own child. She became an inspiration to me. <br />
<br />
Eventually, she did lose a kidney, but she never lost her fighting spirit. Although she would go through periods of deterioration, scaring the nurses, she would always bounce back, determined to live life to the fullest. Just before Thanksgiving 2006, Isabella went home. She took with her monitors, pumps, and a central line that her mother learned to care for. I remember coming in on my day off for this long awaited day. I watched, tears in my eyes, as Isabella was dressed in her little pink onesie, wrapped in the blanket I’d knitted for her, and placed in her car seat. Our sweet Isabella went home.<br />
<br />
I kept in touch with her mother, visiting them several times a year. I watched her grow into a toddler, walking, talking, running, all the while feisty and strong-spirited, yet so sweet and fragile. When I got engaged in 2009, the only little girl I wanted to be my flower girl was Isabella. <br />
<br />
In November of 2009, Isabella put on her white “princess” dress, little ballet shoes, and she was my flower girl. It was a sweet celebration, and tears of joy were again shed by staff from the NICU as they were reunited with this little girl that had made such a large impact on their lives. She danced around, twirling her dress, singing a song, and smiling. This little girl, born so small and delicate but with such a determined spirit, overcame the impossible, and continues to inspire strength in everyone she meets. "<br />

We had every intention of doing vegetables this year, but last year's trouble with the weather- droughts, heat, and seeing baby squash and cucumber lying in the most pitiful positions, dry and malnourished and, well, crispy (not yet cooked)...caused us to..well.. let's just say "we didn't go there." It was too emotional for this NICU nurse to see her baby vegetables suffer from malnutrition, dehydration, and "IUGR" (for the plants- all you medical folks know this as intrauterine growth restriction- these plants, had they been in a uterus, would have most definately suffered this as well- ) or for the plants' sake- IGGR "Intragarden growth restriction" secondary to hyperthermia. That's that.<br />
<br />
But, I am pleased to say that my three sweet hydrangea bushes are flourishing quite nicely. They were sick last year- some sort of "something" that I couldn't figure out, but they hardly had leaves, and certainly did not have enough "Umph" for flowers! I fertilized last year, but nothing worked...last year... but THIS year- leaves came...big leaves, then more leaves, then small buds, then bigger buds, then different color buds. I know that the color of the hydrangea is influenced by the acidity of the soil- the more acidic, the more tinted blue. I remember my great-grandmother and my Gran talking about putting nails in the soil to get blue hydrangea's... granted, I was 3 years old at the time, but in my 3 year-old mind, putting nails in the soil seemed like a task fitting for me, and I can vividly remember the excitement of finding a nail near my Grandadden's truck and sticking it in the ground...what I didn't know was there weren't any hydrangea's nearby where I was "planting nails." Oh well. I'm sure mom and her lawnmower appreciated the especially "larger" nails I planted. (sorry momo)<br />
<br />
So, all that to say- we have three very large-and-in-charge hydrangea bushes.. they share the same soil and yet God, with all His artistic phenomenon, decided to make one blue, one pink, and one a very light pink-almost white. Amazing! My face lights up everytime I come up the driveway and see the colors- what a reminder of how creative God can be with us, as well- in the same circumstances, but how different we all are- and since we are His creation, we are all beautiful in our differences. <br />
<br />
My lilies are well on their way, pregnant with blooms..some already bursting with life and vivid color- gorgeous!! My hostas, also large-and-in-charge, have sprouted their tall, ladylike stems and are just about to pop with delicate purple blooms- love those!! The cannas and gladiolas are growing tall, no blooms yet though. And the hibiscus my MIL (mother-in-law) gave me last year has gone from 1 stalk (as big around as my wrist) to 8 stalks! I am currently working on finding nice homes for some of these :) I hear they have a tendency to take over, and I have enough "large-and-in-charge" in the front- will find a new home for these in the side yard and hopefully with some neighbors (mom- bringing you some, too- soon!!)<br />

Alas, there is nothing. But oh well- so what have we been up to? First things first, I finished my race in Nashville April 30th- I was nervous and anxious because I felt like I had not prepared for it like I should, hadn't run long enough, hadn't had enough "long" runs, etc etc....Yet, I had so much support and love from my family. Ain't is amazing how that will get your through? Just love family- even though sometimes they drive you nuts! Unfortunately, my uncle wasn't able to run with me after throwing out his back and messing up his knee...we tried to talk Trey into running it with me. After all, he can pick up and run 6 miles or 8 miles- he's done it before, right?? haha But all I could get out of him was a promise to run the St. Jude Half with me in December. You better believe I'm holding him to it! So Trey and mom and me set out from my aunt's house in Spring Hill at 4:30 am and drove to Nashville. God bless Trey and my mom because I was a nervous wreck, combined with traffic on the interstate and the threat of missing the last shuttle..but they got me there. They got me to the shuttles, and then it was just standing in line waiting. Although the day was going to get warmer, it was about 48 degrees and there I was in shorts and my sweatshirt, which I had to part with before getting on the shuttle. Shaking and convulsing like a freak because I was nervous and cold, I waited there with Trey for the shuttle.. with the masses.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I sat next to the nicest man on the shuttle- he had been over a hospital in Nashville and had recently moved to New Orleans and was over a hospital there. So we talked about hospital stuff, Magnet status (which LeBonheur is trying to achieve) and whatnot... it helped the nerves for sure. I hope I didn't talk his head off!! But I just love watching the people who are preparing for these races. I like to run, but would hardly call myself a "runner"- I'm not fast, I just try to finish...I barely ran the entire way- had to walk some. But some of these folks are crazy!! Sprints to warm up, eating all kinds of nutty cardboards and washing them down with electrolyte gels, coating their thighs and armpits with vaseline and body-glide...weird. I just stood there, looking for my corral (which was definately in the back with the slow folks and the "older" folks... but we all looked the same. Some folks around me were running their first, so I talked to them about the first time I did the race. And thankfully there was some guy who (I'm assuming) used comic relief as a coping mechanism for anxiety and he was truly nuts- yelling out cheers and jokes and dancing like an idiot...older gentleman about 45-50, big belly and scratchy beard. It made the time go by faster. And the race started, and there I went- no choice but to somehow get myself to the end of the 13.1 miles so I could say I did the thing and get a ride home. :) But then I started enjoying it... lots of funny ladies in matching tu-tu's and cowboy hats and beads and painted shirts. Lots of folks standing on the sidewalks, cheering for their friends, funny jokes on their signs (some too vulgar to put on the blog...but you get the idea) And I finished- in one piece, sprinting at the finish line, no knee problems, only one small blister on my right foot...it was fabulous!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivSOhUFSHXysyd_vuFeTQdIMfRBGf_QLTvJcGXCHb0SIaAruV0BBlvZ9eaWle-bfQy4j4AJ5rjVOk5d0R3UodihwDpB5jmMQf2YAxLvqSvooI9HNDHUTyI9SlZehM0Jx5jd-mq7KCS0Uo/s1600/DSC02886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivSOhUFSHXysyd_vuFeTQdIMfRBGf_QLTvJcGXCHb0SIaAruV0BBlvZ9eaWle-bfQy4j4AJ5rjVOk5d0R3UodihwDpB5jmMQf2YAxLvqSvooI9HNDHUTyI9SlZehM0Jx5jd-mq7KCS0Uo/s320/DSC02886.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the phone, trying to call Trey and mom to see where they were...didn't see them right in front of me!</div><br />

That night. In the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus. Scared, literally, to death.<br />
<br />
Maundy. Derived from the Latin "Mandatum" which means commandment. His last commandment to us : <br />
<br />
" Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." John 13:34<br />
<br />
How did He love them, in the Garden? His brothers, His friends, His disciples, the ones He loved. He was hours away from betrayal, hatred, being given over to torture and anguish and death, by a friend, a disciple, someone He loved. As a human being (seeing as me and Jesus had this in common) I cannot imagine sitting in a dark garden, a grove full of olive trees, my best friends by my side..cold...scared...trembling..surrounded by people but never feeling more alone...the moonlight overhead, the cool ground beneath His feet soon to be broken and pierced... there He was...knowing full well what had to be done for a world in the present, and a world in the future...begging His Father to take it away...<br />
<br />
<br />

" Then Jesus brought them to an olive grove called Gethsemane, and He said 'Sit here while I go ahead to pray.' He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons, James and John, and He began to be filled with anguish and deep distress. He told them, 'My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me.' He went on a little farther and fell face down on the ground praying, 'My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me...Yet I want your will, not mine.' <br />
<br />

Then He returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, 'Couldn't you stay awake and watch with me even one hour? Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!!' <br />
<br />

If this cup cannot be taken away until I drink it, your will be done.' He returned to them again and found them sleeping, for they just couldn't keep their eyes open. So He went back to pray a third time, saying the same things again. Then He came to the disciples and said, 'Still sleeping?? Still resting?? Look, the time has come. I, the Son of Man, am betrayed into the hands of sinners. Up, let's be going. See, my betrayer is here!' " Matthew 26: 36-46<br />

What was going through His mind? Being an all-knowing God in the form of man, He knew...the trials. the beatings,.the shouts of His own people to "Crucify Him!"...the same voices that, just a few days before had praised Him and sung songs of "Hosannah, Hallelujah!" Men and women, boys and girls, old and young, one minute praising Him, the next minute, cursing Him and sending Him to His death... He knew what was coming...his body, skin torn from muscles and bone, bones broken, piercing into his organs, his lungs filled with fluid, can't catch His breath, eyes swollen shut- unable to see, but knowing the hearts of those before Him, thirsty, aching, burning, broken...<br />

But in that moment. In the Garden...much like another Garden, thousands of years before, where He had strolled as God in the cool of the evening breeze, asking "Adam? Eve? Where are you?" One commandment: Do not eat of that tree. They did. They were doomed. In the garden, they were doomed to death. And although they touched evil in the midst of beauty, what did God do for them, just before He sent them out to work the land, suffer childbirth, and struggle in life? He provided for them. He forgave them. He loved them in their brokenness, in their rebellion... Gen. 3:21 " The Lord made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them." <br />
<br />
In Gethsemane, His dearest and closest friends could not even stay awake to be there for Him as He anticipated the horror that was to take place in just a few hours. How would I feel? Would I be upset? Would my feelings be hurt? Feeling alone, knowing I would be betrayed by my friends? He couldn't even stand..He was face down, begging, pleaing, crying out for just one small chance that it might not have to happen, but knowing it would...God in human form, tears, sweating, probably in so much despair and devastation that it took His breath away... Have I been there? On my face, crying out, begging for help, in so much pain that I couldn't catch my breath?<br />

Completely alone...there He was, in His creation, with His beloved creation, those He made in His image...completely alone. And for what? For me? For you? For His disciples? For Peter, who would deny He even knew Him, even though He had pledged His loyalty and faithfulness just a few days before?<br />
<br />
"Love one another...as I loved you." <br />
<br />
How is that? I deny Him, and He shows Himself to me. I disobey and disappoint Him, and He provides for my every need. I forget Him, and He cleans up my messes and makes good of all my stupid mistakes. I have done this for years, I will do this until the day I die. I apologize and praise Him, and in the same breath I curse Him...and He wraps me up in His arms, wipes away my tears when I'm alone and crying out, and tells me it's gonna be ok...who is this God that is just like a neverending foutnain of love and peace and forgiveness? How does He do it? Why should He? What have I ever done for Him??<br />
<br />
I love Him. I acknowledge that I'm broken. I tell Him I need Him, and I love Him. <br />
<br />

At church tonight, they ended the service with a popular song, and I had never thought of the lyrics in this way, but I will never hear this song and think of it the same..read the lyrics. Imagine Christ in the Garden. His anticipation, his nerves, his knowing what was about to unfold...and the reason..<br />
<br />
"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord.<br />
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord.<br />
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord.<br />
<br />
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.<br />
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am.<br />
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes.<br />
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been.<br />
It's all been a pack of lies.<br />
<br />
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord.<br />
Well I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord.<br />
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord.<br />
Well I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord.<br />
<br />
I remember, I remember, don't worry. How could I ever forget?<br />
It was the first time, the last time we ever met.<br />
But I know the reason why you kept your silence up, oh no you don't fool me<br />
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows.<br />
It's not stranger to you and me.<br />
<br />
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord.<br />
Well I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord.<br />
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord.<br />
Well I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord.<br />
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord.<br />
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord.<br />
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord.<br />
Well I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord.<br />
<br />
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord.<br />
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord."<br />
<br />
Phil Collins "In the air tonight"<br />
Song is on playlist on the right side of the blog..listen while you read..and think..<br />

On the way home from work this morning, the city workers were cutting the grass on the sides of Sam Cooper, and the smell overtook my car and my nose, and I thought of my Gran. The smell of fresh cut grass, wild onions in the yard, new growth coming out of the ground and taking over the breezes- these smells remind me of my Gran. So I thought I'd put some pictures up of things that remind me of Gran, and spend some time remembering what an incredible woman she was, and thanking God for the time I was able to spend with her, looking forward to when I will see her again, hoping she is proud of me.<br />

Well, my wonderful husband has just left to go to Jackson, MS for a 4 day long Rope and Rescue course- which means I have the house all to myself...how will I play? Remember my list of projects??? Tomorrow is so exciting- the house all to myself. To all the married ladies out there- can I get an "Amen" to those days when we have the house to ourselves to really be productive? Don't want to sound like I don't like it when Trey is here- I do.. but it makes it hard to get the good stuff done... so it's free range for me. What's on the schedule? <br />
Well, I'd like to start by cleaning up this house! After days of wedding parties, our house now has an extra layer of funk on the kitchen floor, crumbs on the hardwoods and rugs from chips, late night Krystals, pizzas, orange-sweet rolls, more chips, mud, coffee stains on the counters, a dishwasher full of glasses, forks, plates, and a hamper full of stinky clothes and sheets from having a 3 day long sleepover with our (Trey's) dear friends, Tip and Jonathan, whom I have lovingly given the nicknames "Brother husbands" (nickname taken in humor from the show "Sister Wives.") and who I am happy to have over and hanging out with my honey anytime. But, with that comes "leftovers" from a trip to Tunica for golf, a rehearsal dinner "post-party', and of course, wedding day "pre and post" party. So, where to begin? Sheets- clean sheets are a must! Especially after 3 nights of going out and coming home smelling, well just down right awful. So, sheets are cleaned, beds are made, dishes are washed... but I'm thinking I can wait on really cleaning the house until tomorrow morning.<br />
So, come on Monday- I'll be up early, cleaning, straightening, disinfecting and airing out.. then, plants!! The monkey grass has ben dug out and given to our neighbors the newly weds, new rocks laid down, flower beds cleaned out and mulched, and the freezing temperatures finally gone (I'm thinking)..so I have a trip planned to get some pretty flowers! And, of course, dividing again (for the 2nd year) my hostas, which seem to just love the soil around my house because they literally explode! They are beautiful, but man are they big! Also, painting the attic door, which we've still been talking about for a year- and if I'm really feeling productive, touching up the trim in the hallways and bathroom and ending the day with a long run. Hopefully, the motivation will keep coming, and I told Trey I might even get super ambitious and just repaint the entire hallway..we'll see. Regardless, I am super pumped to basically have open range for motivational and creative juices to flow- good night's rest tonight, then projects and productivity tomorrow!! Won't Trey be so proud?!?Trey and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00452846015102048305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324069758855156388.post-65379730888228826052011-04-01T00:57:00.000-07:002011-04-01T12:27:30.256-07:00Marriage MinefieldsLyrics to "Dancing in the Minefield"- great song, which I have included on my playlist.<br />

<br />
I was nineteen, you were twenty-one<br />
The year we got engaged<br />
Everyone said we were much too young<br />
But we did it anyway<br />

We bought our rings for forty each<br />
From a pawn shop down the road<br />
We made our vows and took the leap<br />
Now fifteen years ago<br />

We went dancing in the minefields<br />
We went sailing in the storm<br />
And it was harder than we dreamed<br />

"I do" are the two most famous last words<br />
The beginning of the end<br />
But to lose your life for another I've heard<br />
Is a good place to begin<br />

These are very very VERY dear friends and my excitement for them can't be contained!! As Trey and I have watched them go through their dating, their engagement, and now these final stressful days leading up to the wedding- with decisions and unexpected "hang-ups" I am reminded of our wedding, our planning, our excitement. I sit on our couch, and around me is a house we have built together, a home, our safe place. On the walls, pictures of that blessed day, our smiles, our kisses, our excitement... and although we have only been married about a year and a half, I feel that we have begun to scratch the surface of the "knitty-gritty" of it. I think back on the verses read during our ceremony:<br />
Proverbs 3: 1-6<br />
"My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight."<br />
<br />
Colossians 3: 12-17<br />
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."<br />
<br />
I think back on the past two years with Trey, the past year and a half of marriage- have I always been forgiving? gentle and patient? bearing with him grievances? humble? compassionate? How many times have I thrown away the chance to love Trey like Christ has loved me? Everyone tells you when you get married that marriage won't always be easy- they aren't lying! But as I learn more and more about Trey, and about myself, everyday, I think, "Man, God did know what He was doing, putting us together." When the guards come down, and the reality of whatever is going on in our daily life is in front of us, and we sit up late at night, talking about our fears, our joys, our jokes, and past arguments (which are pretty funny now), what we want for our marriage, what we need from each other, our future babies, I cannot believe that this wonderful man is what all that strife and frustration of my single years was for- had I not been through life's crap, broken hearts, broken relationships, depression, confusion, questioning, anger, grief, loss, dissappointment in others, dissappointment in myself, all of that and everything in between- it wouldn't have made me know what a true gem I have in this man. He's been through it, too, and what special little treasures those lessons are now- beauty rising up from the rubble of life- every moment finding its place and building up our marriage, with God smack dab in the middle of it all. <br />
<br />
It's like the story of the tapestry: Everyone's life is a tapestry, a big masterpiece in the works. Only, we don't see it as a masterpiece. We are behind the scenes, and all that is in our line of vision is the loose threads, the knots and tangles, the colors that don't match or fit, the blank areas, no picture, no beauty, nothing fits, nothing goes, it's just a mess. And for years that's all we see- then one day, if you're lucky, you might see a small corner complete- and its magnifiscent! And at the end of your life, you turn the tapestry around, and those tangles, knots, mismatched colors, loose threads, were all required in order to make a complete masterpiece, unique and one-of-a-kind, like no other masterpiece every created, handmade by the One who placed each star in the sky, each fish in the sea, each hair on your head. No words...<br />
<br />
So, all that reflection (it just started coming, and I didn't really mean to type it all, but I'm gonna leave it; somebody might get something out of it) came to mind when thinking of prayers for our friends, and what kind of tapestry God will start with this new marriage! Rather, how He will combine the tapestries He's already got going in each of their lives. I can't wait to see God's blessings in their lives. As they will live across the street from us, I have a feeling we may see some times when they are feeling "less-blessed," but isn't that the best part? The beauty in the rubble? The things that happen to us, that we don't like, but how they make us better people? How God uses every little detail, sparing nothing, to bring us closer to Him, because He is truly that in love with us and that desperate for our love in return? That He'd do anything to get our attention? Wow- the Creator, He wants me! My attention, my silly chats (which I have a feeling I make God laugh a lot with my 'little girl' requests) my love- He can have it! If He can use it, He can have it! But I can't wait to see how God uses their lives, bringing them together, who knows what He has in store for them- but the unknown is so exciting! Scary, but exciting! <br />
<br />
Blessing for our friends:<br />

"May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His light to shine upon your face both now and forevermore. May He hold you and keep you close to His heart. May He make your days together be long and sweet. May He bless your home, your children, your lives. May you never be far from His perfect love."Trey and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00452846015102048305noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324069758855156388.post-58625281565924192792011-03-21T16:22:00.000-07:002011-03-21T16:22:55.769-07:00Running with a Motivational Limp<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNR_o53ZjgY-yc4h1NyNaIm2xE0WzRgjRrQtIxKT6BGJ0xbWy-jYW_hvvz4IA3ihyHZ2im5t57zUkE5ySSOMHIadnR4xaC1lZXbGs4Z9O7d67fV2bCP99ZHSmIpXdAF3aER34Dlfrdr7w/s1600/runnning.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNR_o53ZjgY-yc4h1NyNaIm2xE0WzRgjRrQtIxKT6BGJ0xbWy-jYW_hvvz4IA3ihyHZ2im5t57zUkE5ySSOMHIadnR4xaC1lZXbGs4Z9O7d67fV2bCP99ZHSmIpXdAF3aER34Dlfrdr7w/s320/runnning.bmp" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I ran so hard- this picture is just before the finish line and yeah, I'm smiling...(insert sigh here) Country Music City Half Marathon 2009. I had trained so good for it... granted some of that training was my coping with the death of my grandmother, Gran, in January 2009. But I remember being so ready for the race by the end of March 2009..<br />
<br />
So, it's 2011 and I am just not feeling very ready. I started training in December, and was doing really good during the cold weather but then came the rain... and I just have gotten spoiled having the Greenline so close that I just do not want to run on a treadmill! Call me crazy- and, I think that the treadmill did my knees in..notice the knee brace in the picture above... since running on the Greenline and through the neighborhood, I've definately noticed less pain in my knee- or is because I'm not training hard enough??<br />
<br />
All that to say, I've been running, utilizing my apps on my ipod to help with timing and interval running. But I was not getting to that "high" point in the run... for all you runners out there, you know what I'm talking about! But today.. finally!!! Me, my ipod in one hand, my inhaler in the other (thank-you-very-much-adult-onset-asthma) we hit the high!! It was so nice... probably helps that it was sunny and bright and just generally a happy kind of day. But there is something to be said for running with the sun beating down on you, heating your face, feeling the sweat on your forehead (sweat = productivity) and getting your breathing rhythm down right... felt good. Although I run good in the cold, and I may try my hand at the St. Jude half in December... there is just something in me that loves the heat. <br />
<br />
I'm just hoping this good run day is the start of some more..because it has just been a downer feeling like I'm not ready for the race. Plus, the hills!! If anyone reading this has actually participated in the Nashville half, they can tell you about the hills... they are a nightmare. But thanks to Shelby Farms, there are some hills to train on. I actually have been trying to talk Trey into dropping me off at Shelby Farms and making me run home via Greenline.. He's not completely sold on that idea though! But he is going to get the bike greased up and more air in the tires and ride with me- that's always good motivation!! <br />
<br />
I just want to finish another half. I am not so concerned about my time- probably because I've lived my life as an average kind of athletic girl, and it's a nice place to be... no at the top, close to but not at the bottom.. just average. Definately never got the blue ribbon for the Presidential Fitness Test back in the day. But I just want to finish... any tips out there for motivation? Any great routes in the Memphis/Shelby County area? Any good running songs?? (I'm a fan of Enrique's "I like it"- good beat)<br />

Sounds of a hot shower, the fridge opening, the coffee pot, the kitties crying for treats. I stayed warm in the bed, under the covers and I thought to myself, "I am so thankful." <br />
I think most people have been semi-glued to the t.v. the past few days, watching the devastation and turmoil unfold on the other side of the world. Images flashing of debris, collapsed buildings, water rushing over the land, explosions and fire, people completely broken and desperate to survive. My heart is burdened and heavy. I think, "What if..." I take for granted so many things in life, in everyday life, such as having a warm bed and a roof over my head, having a husband to kiss me goodbye before going to work, having hot water, food, clothes. What if we lost everything? Could I handle it? What would we do? Where would we go? As Christians, it's easy to say, "Well, God's word promises...." , "God will provide whatever we need...", "Stay strong an courageous...", "Ask and ye shall receive...", but sometimes, I want to ask God "Why?" Why allow this? Why all the wars, the shootings, the government struggles, the poverty, Katrina, Haiti, Tsunami's, earthquakes, civil wars...Why? I want to go help, I want to go fix it, I want to do something..I don't like this brokeness and pain and suffering..<br />
<br />
No answer. Only a few quiet thoughts.."Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other...Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts..be thankful...and whatever you do, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.." Colossians 3. <br />

Katrina wasn't His first hurricane. And the turmoil in the middle east and Africa isn't new for Him either. He's got this. He just wants me to be thankful to Him for what He has laid out for my life. He wants me to encourage everyone He puts in my day. He wants me to be kind, joyful, and faithful in prayer. And He wants me to pray for Japan. So I will pray...I might stomp my feet a little because I still don't like the hurt in this world, and I still want to jump on a plane and go help- but God knows that about me, too... He did wire my hard-drive to want to do that... but He wants me here for now, in Memphis, going to LeBonheur to help His children there, going to Caldwell-Guthrie to love His children there.. So I can pray, I can give of the resources He has blessed me with to send others to help, and I can pray some more.<br />

Where art ThouI always get an extra burst of energy this time of year- which ususally ends up inspiring me to invent all sorts of "projects" around the house to do. Two years ago, I was right around the corner from falling in love with the most amazing thing that God has ever put in my life- Trey. I had gotten a bunch of irises and buttercup plants from Gran's house after her passing in January 2009, and was transplanting them all over the yard- hoping they would be as beautiful in my yard as they were in hers. I was also repainting the exterior of the house, and re-doing the patio furniture Amanda (Maynard) Brown had passed down to me after our year spent on Mud Island- the white wicker had to go, and it became chocolate brown- and then last year it became a darker brown-grey metallic color which looked better and less splotchy. Two years ago, I was also actively training for my first half marathon. Last year, Trey was putting up new shutters and I was ripping out monkey grass from the front, planting seeds in cute little biodegradeable cuplet things and letting them grow- and looking forward to every sunny day so I could put them outside, covered in their little clear wrap, and let them germinate and do this crazy green house effect thing onto the clear wrap. I was determined to turn into some urban housewife gardener person who would grow fat squash, canteloupe, tomatoes, peppers, and wow all my friends with my green thumb. The plants grew, for a while, and then the historically hot Memphis summer hit and ultimately killed my veggies and my dreams of urban-gardener-wifeness. Alas, local farmers selling their goods at Easy Way got mucho business from me! The morning glories, however, took over and I ultimately killed them myself so myself and any visitors to my house could walk the walkway to the front door. The gerbera daisies, irises, hostas, and whatever else I planted did well- just not the edible plants. And the husband was much relieved with the water bill once I gave up trying to salvage my poor puny veggies. Oh, and we also replaced the attic ladder, so now there is no fear of decapitation or irreversible facial damage everytime the door is pulled open and the ladder is let down. It is still unpainted, and a very nice shade of construction wood - so add that the list of this years "to-do's"...which brings me to...<br />
<br />
What is in store for this overly-excited-ambitious-energetic-project-crazed housewife this year??<br />
1. Paint the attic ladder door. <br />
2. Paint the hallway- just want a new color!! Thinking more brownish instead of yellow...<br />
3. Repaint the trim throughout the house- it's chipped and in neeed of a facelift.<br />
4. REMODEL THE KITCHEN- well- rip out cabinets and countertops and replace the sink... some of this depends on Uncle Sam and how nice he is with our tax return... <br />
5. Ripping out the rest of the monkey grass and giving it to Susan, my mother-in-law, and Kate soon-to-be-Shelton across the street.<br />
6. Running another half marathon, although I have been less than invigorated about my training this year, which leaves me a little worried... hoping when the weather warms up for good, I'll get a burst of energy!<br />
7. Maybe trying my hand at gardening again...maybe...<br />
<br />
In the meantime, it's March and it's still cold and I'm over it- So I'll just look at pictures of my hard work from last year and hopefully get inspired!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We made a short trip to Gatlinburg the first week of January to celebrate a "late" anniversary and to go to the UT-Memphis basketball game with some friends. I am always reminded of how much I miss the beauty of East Tennessee, especially with now on the ground!! It is snowed a lot while we were there- big fat flakes! It was wonderful- and it was nice to hang out with each other as well... we hadn't been able to do that in a while between the move to the new LeBonheur in December 2010 and the Christmas season and work...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So what does 2011 hold in store for us? Well, Sarah will hopefully complete the Country Music City Half-Marathon for the 2nd time, and start Nurse practitioner school for neonatal nurse practitioner.. for Trey? Who knows? For the both of us? Hopefully it will include a garden that actually grows something without it getting dried up by the sun, and maybe (if we play our cards right) new kitchen cabinets and countertops. But for now, we are thankful for a year of marriage come and gone, and looking forward to whatever God has in store for us!!</span>Trey and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00452846015102048305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324069758855156388.post-63515603035771210802010-09-11T21:33:00.000-07:002010-09-11T21:33:36.261-07:00Almost Been a Year...It's almost been a year since we got hitched..and updated the blog! So far, we've mastered the art of his/hers laundry, toilet seat up/down-ness, and the always present trivia question- "what's for dinner?" Mastering the art of the firefighter/nurse schedule was tricky tricky.. but it works well- if we want a few days off together, then it's not a problem. If we have gotten our share of "quality time", also not a problem. But the report card from the marriage counselor was A+ gold star, so guess that's a good thing. So it's day-in and day-out of husband-wife banter, cooking, eating, sleeping, farting, cleaning, laughing, repeat... and it works. No babies yet... so stop asking... but we have successfully outgrown the 1700 sq. foot starter home- thanks to wedding gifts and hand-me-down furniture, artistically arranged (with lots of things arranged under big surfaces such as beds, and stuffed in closets). Marriage is a wonderful gift, however, and as we watch our friends go through changes in their lives, marriages getting better, getting worse, and getting made , we thank God for putting us together.Trey and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00452846015102048305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324069758855156388.post-64269132700158181762010-09-11T21:25:00.001-07:002010-09-11T21:25:45.094-07:00First "Merried" Christmas- 2009<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-fIEDjhz2UfwOkavNCPJTuSh8xR2z9et19Mlrx23pTeWVzXpgHDTiLHKbb6-atwR1uxFq2aMzqq762mN2pdSJuKCcMyACIJUJpFSFmXuTP1m-outL4-w7Yefd3lF_mj938qUC2o5yzDk/s1600/DSC01543.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-fIEDjhz2UfwOkavNCPJTuSh8xR2z9et19Mlrx23pTeWVzXpgHDTiLHKbb6-atwR1uxFq2aMzqq762mN2pdSJuKCcMyACIJUJpFSFmXuTP1m-outL4-w7Yefd3lF_mj938qUC2o5yzDk/s320/DSC01543.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAZZiYTZwHYtdzuh97yn7Y7CA39gKCX9CbVDUWrS984HeMA-lJ_-HFhYF-R0PLjndrohEZ3HLkYLwzikFB3G1noR07oQhh6JZzWKNQ0VrcpN_xuGW5QZQeWUkVkL4E-Zu_eMccoSOItHw/s1600/DSC01544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAZZiYTZwHYtdzuh97yn7Y7CA39gKCX9CbVDUWrS984HeMA-lJ_-HFhYF-R0PLjndrohEZ3HLkYLwzikFB3G1noR07oQhh6JZzWKNQ0VrcpN_xuGW5QZQeWUkVkL4E-Zu_eMccoSOItHw/s320/DSC01544.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvZnuPr-8MFXrV5hJR5UNwBOw-a9ShkrYVYUiamwQAeGDyWDhE7qYlQcBsfWmUH6ZZK689sveI4fqXgMSwxUL3fYLBaVzqL_XYhwYQKocQJaWfAWkIyAlXFRvuqfrmX6iPPpeDwojfUM/s1600/DSC01550.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvZnuPr-8MFXrV5hJR5UNwBOw-a9ShkrYVYUiamwQAeGDyWDhE7qYlQcBsfWmUH6ZZK689sveI4fqXgMSwxUL3fYLBaVzqL_XYhwYQKocQJaWfAWkIyAlXFRvuqfrmX6iPPpeDwojfUM/s320/DSC01550.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKeT5hjAVdD4vsjmAJfISSkllhHDqNuffURWbysc6sV9ioE-H7rvnOLf-CGd0Rf9FKs0-d6hN5U4sls8F11A1akvKwAj99AWDGSoqscgopbKeQqoG2QjT82Qfpbm9ZHKYxGqAjBnI24qM/s1600/DSC01569.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKeT5hjAVdD4vsjmAJfISSkllhHDqNuffURWbysc6sV9ioE-H7rvnOLf-CGd0Rf9FKs0-d6hN5U4sls8F11A1akvKwAj99AWDGSoqscgopbKeQqoG2QjT82Qfpbm9ZHKYxGqAjBnI24qM/s320/DSC01569.JPG" /></a></div>Trey and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00452846015102048305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324069758855156388.post-31641198050288529042010-09-11T20:43:00.000-07:002010-09-11T21:15:41.003-07:00November 7, 2009<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
