We made it safely back from Dallas, no worse for the wear. It was a long, exhausting trip...3 different flights to get us there and back. GR to Chicago to KC to Dallas and then the reverse. I had long days of lectures and workshops, etc., but only took two short naps and functioned quite well, I think. Chad had some successful meetings down there too, so it was beneficial for both of us. We had a couple days of sunshine and nice weather, but they it turned chilly and dreary. Nothing like what we came back to...pouring rain and chilly today. Chillier than Dallas, that's for sure. I was able to see lots of old friends and catch up. We had a nice dinner with a business associate of Chad's and his wife which was a lot of fun...always nice to meet someone when you hear so much about them (I hadn't met his wife before). Working lots again this week, but thinking I may have to take the plunge and just go back to fulltime and force myself to handle it. Pray for strength and wisdom! Thank you prayer warriors!
Almost forgot...anyone watch American Idol? Remember the winner 2 years ago...Taylor Hicks...saw him at our hotel and got my pic taken with him...really nice guy. I'll post the pic when I can.

March Madness
It's all about basketball in this house right now...basketball on both TVs and a husband who can't peel himself away until the last game is over each night. At least with each next round there arent' as many games. The good news is both MSU and KU made it through their first round games...we were both happy about that!
For those of you who don't live in Michigan, we had been having beautiful weather--mid-50's a few days ago, then Thursday it got cold and gloomy again. Yesterday and last night, 4+ inches of snow!! We finally had all the snow in our yard melted, now it's back! I knew there'd probably be at least one more snowfall and here it is.
We had a nice weekend in Kansas City with Chad's family. I was tired, but it was fun. The last 3 weeks I've worked long weeks...maybe a little too much...had to go back to long naps which I had gotten away from, so I think I need to keep working up gradually, which I've been doing. In KC I also got to see one of my best friends from college and an old roommate; that was fun! We went shopping/errand running on Saturday and just hung out like old times (except for her 6month pregnant belly).
Chad and I will be going to Dallas next week for a conference for me. Pray for my stamina because traveling takes it out of me. Chad will have some meetings down there and that is why he is going with me (which I'm very happy about). Pray that his meetings are successful.
That's the update for now, not a lot new. Keep the prayers coming--prayers for peace of mind for my upcoming MRI and for a completely normal result. Thanks all. Love,
Laura

I made it...
I made it through last week...just a little tired, but I have the same schedule this week, so keep the prayers coming! I had a conference in Detroit on Sunday, so that makes it 5 days in a row this week. I didn't enjoy getting up early to make it to the conference after we sprung forward Saturday night. I'm a sleepy girl, but I just woke up from a nice 3 hour nap...what a blessing those naps are! After another long week, Chad and I will be going to Kansas City this weekend to see his family. I think I will be able to see one of my best friends from college too--she's 6 months pregnant and I'm very excited to be able to see her! Hopefully I'll have a picture to put up. I'm sure there will be pics of Chad's family because we will be seeing our nephew, Owen, Chad's sister's little guy. That's it for now. Keep the prayers coming. I'm not 100% yet, but getting better day by day.

Working Girl
Just a quick note to ask for prayers for this week. I will be working Mon, Tues, Wed & Thurs this week...the most I've worked since the surgery! It's a big step. Please keep me in your prayers that I have the energy to sustain me (I know God can and will sustain me) and that I have a good cheerful attitude about being at work. Pray that I get good restful sleep and feel the best I have since surgery. I'm getting there, day by day. I have a praise: This weekend at church was the first time we were able to sit in the service (no sunglasses) and not in the crying baby area outside. That was a big deal. I felt good, too. My friends said I looked better than I have at church in awhile--not glassy-eyed, red-eyed, etc. Very exciting!
