Glaucoma?!

I have had to wear glasses since the sixth grade, ugh. So I am very familiar with going in for an eye exam every year to every couple of years. Well, today I went in for a regular eye exam and to get contacts. Everything was going as usual, then the Dr. tells me my eye pressure is very high. Then I hear the word, glaucoma. I don't have glaucoma (thank you Lord!!!), but I am at high risk of getting it in the future. I don't know too much about it, besides it can cause blindness (I think). While I wait for my next appointment (in 4 months), I will surely be looking into it. I looked it up once today as soon as I got home and what I read made me kinda scared. As I sat here wondering if one day I will become blind or have to have some kind of eye surgery, I looked over at the calendar on the wall. Do you know what it said? At the bottom, it has a verse of scripture: 2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and power; and He maketh my way perfect. I thought, how silly I'm being. I was getting myself so worked up over what might one day happen. If it does or doesn't happen, God will be there giving me the strength to get through it. 

Thank you Grandma Spence for sending us those calendar's every year!!!!

Home Sweet Home

We made it back home on Monday evening. It has taken a few days to get settled back in at home. It always surprises me how much work it is to get all of us unpacked and then get back into a routine. We had a great time visiting with the McDowell family, it was truly a great blessing to spend New Years with them. God is so good to us and gives us exactly what we need, when we need it! The drive was so beautiful, I took tons of pictures and it was hard to choose which ones to share in this post. So I picked a few....

On the road, leaving Okanogan

 The boys checking out Samuel

 On the road, leaving Oregon

 Gave the girls gum and Olivia got it stuck in her hair!

 With not many options and no peanut butter, we

decided to just cut it out. I thought she would be upset

but she was more ok with it than me, lol.
