Tomorrow- St Patricks Day is one of my favorite days all year long! i adore all things Irish and am so excited! I think we will try to continue on the tradition (started last year) for me to make the a full on Irish meal (corned beef, veggies, colcannon potatoes, irish soda bread etc.) and have everyone over to my parents for dinner. I just love it. Last year we played games etc but this year I have just been too busy to plan. I cant wait.....and the rueben sammies the next day...amazing!
:)

I got some AWESOME news at the doctors on Monday. (I had a check up in Iowa City.) I GOT MY TWO YEAR RELEASE! (basically this means that I dont have to go back for two solid years!) I have been waiting for that moment since I got sick! It was pretty neat, my doctor (who lacks all bedside manners) called in a room full of people, told them my story- said he thought I was a miracle and God had Big plans for me so they should just take a good long look at me and held my hand and said he'll be seeing me the rest of my life but not for another two years :) I was so excited I cried! he said I am in the "safe zone" if there is such a thing. Praise Jesus!

On a funny note- Tonight, V was being really ornery when i put her to bed and she was acting like she was going to hit me in the face and then stopped her hand started giggling when i acted mad and she said "April Fools Mommy!" How does she even know what April fools is? Apparently to her its a way to stay out of trouble. .It just made me giggle. That silly girl.
She is sure going to keep my hands full!

I have gotten a "wild hair" to learn sign language. I dont know that i will ever be proficient at it but would like to learn...maybe I ll see if I can find a DVD to teach me! i would like Ve to learn too....who knows- maybe someday God will put a deaf person in my life and how will I ever talk to them if I dont learn...right?

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY EVERYONE! WEAR YOUR GREEN!
