Updating my blog….
Okay folks it’s the week of Thanksgiving and it’s 2009 and I’m making a pledge that I want to get my blog updated in the new year if not by new years and then start posting at least once a week. Yes I said it once a week. My Grandma Runner is in town this week. My Grandma and Grandpa Rhoades were in town in October and I didn’t even post any pictures. I can’t even remember if I took pictures. There are so many things that are new in my life and as the time whizzes (<— is that a word? ) by I need to remember to document or I’m going to look back and wonder … hey what was I up to at that point?
If you read my blog and haven’t added me on Facebook please do so 
– also I am going to be working on a family update post. I weight loss post, and a ‘gasp’ love life post! Can you believe it? I’m hoping that Jenna from http://stollmyheart.wordpress.com/ can get my blog looking a bit more spiffy… I need to email that fabulous designer and see if she can hook me up. I think that is what I’ll do after I publish this post. I hope that you are all preparing to have a wonderfully happy Thanksgiving with your families. I’m so excited for Thanksgiving with my family! It’s going to be great! Just great!
Later folks … SGMJ
Please help bring Baby Lily Home….
Okay... I have to admit I want to put a few blog buttons on my blog for the Bring Lily Home Fund. The problem with this is I'm not blog tech savy. I can do quite a few things with photos, hooking up computers, and networking but guess who can not get the blog buttons to work on her blog! Yup that's right it's me the Single Gal. Is this why I need a husband? Yikes! I was just hoping to get a hubby who would fix my wheeler when I broke it. I mean I've got some other qualifications that I'd like to put out there, such as good with kids, loves God, and my family too. Other than that though I'm not too picky! HA!

Happy Monday
Just a side note: (*this is what I’m hoping for Ha!)
Look who’s feeling better!!!!
This morning I was so excited to see this picture of Stellan feeling better.
He’s got the little Monkey that I got him w/ his balloons! That just makes me smile to see that he’s doing so much better! Thanks to all of you who prayed for Stellan!
*Just a side note on Monday morning when I went to see MckMama & Stellan to drop off balloons. Stellan wasn’t doing well at all. I didn’t want to post about it on my blog, (I have very few blog readers). After I got back from the hospital that morning, I sent out an email blast to everyone in my address book asking for prayers and then made a few calls to my favorite prayer warriors (my Mom & Grandmas) so that they would be sure to put little Stellan in their prayers. For all of you who prayed I just wanted to say ‘Thanks’ again! I know that when I was small and in the hospital all the time with my asthma it was hardest on my Mom. She stayed with me for weeks at a time and we had visitors, nurses, doctors, and all the flow of people in and out of the room. The thing I remember most about it was that Mom was always there. I can even remember a time when I was sick after my little sister had been born and the doctors didn’t want baby Alyssa to stay in the hospital with my Mom even though she was full time breastfeeding, but my Mom stuck to her guns and baby Alyssa stayed with us in the hospital. Alyssa never seemed to mind the tubes, the oxygen tent, or all the people rushing in and out. My Mom argued that it was good for Alyssa to be there with me and to this day, I believe it’s one of the things that helped me get better. Mom knows best. I’m going to say prayers for all the Moms out there with little ones in the hospitals, because I’ve seen it on my own Mother’s face and it’s tough. They all deserve all the prayers and support we can give them. Someday I hope that I’ll be a great Mom just like the one that was blessed upon me.
Can anyone guess who I’m going to go visit tomorrow?
Here’s a clue…..
My favorite sign & a cake
Please Pray for Stellan…
Please pray for Stellan and his family. If you’re not familiar with them please check out MckMamma’s blog at www.mycharmingkids.net. On Monday I’m going to the hospital to drop off some balloons for Stellan and a treat for MckMamma – the hospital is right near where I work.
I’m home studying this weekend as I only have 2 more weeks left of my Biology class. Whoo Hoo! Hopefully after my Biology class is over I can get with Jenna from http://stollmyheart.wordpress.com/ as she is going to do a new blog layout for me so I don’t have the dreary black and red combo that I’ve got going currently with my blog.
Studying for Biology
Well I’m guessing my study break is about over! I’m going to get back to it. Please don’t forget to pray for Stellan and send his Mamma a note to let her know that you are thinking about Stellan!
Check this documentary out…
I would really like to see this documentary…

Then I’ll have more information for all the people who call me a ‘food nazi’ when it comes to what I eat these days!
