Started working a new job doing housekeeping at the hospital across the street from where I live.

I manged to set an alarm off cleaning which brought this bright and shiny fire truck
It shut down the whole hospital
That was an experience

| Hood River, Oregon |
Yet another day trip that turned into an over night trip.
Went to spend the day with my sisters and do a bit of Christmas shopping
They had to help me a bit in the snow as I was slipping.
I had such fear of falling
Thank you Lord I didn't
So my youngest sister drove my car to the The Dalles, Oregon
Where I spent the night and traveled home the next day
 |
| Me |
Feeling much better and ready to get on with my life
So many things to see and do
What should I do first.
OH YES!
Christmas adventures

| Corie & Trey |
Our newest addition to our family
The very handsome Trey
One week old here in mommies arms
Just in time for Christmas
A beautiful bundle of love and joy
 |
| Cascade Locks, Oregon |
Traveling home from my sisters
A short stop at my favorite restaurant for lunch
A beautiful view of the Columbia River Gorge and the Bridge of the Gods
 |
| Multnomah Falls, Oregon |
A must stop and see no matter the weather
My favorite place to go
I just took my time coming home from my sisters
I was soaked to the very bone by the time arrived back home
What is normally a hour drive
I had turned into a three hour plus drive adventure home
As I took my time enjoying the views.

"Me"
First Day Back To Work At Hospital |
I was so excited to start back to work
I had prayed so hard that I would have this job to come back too
Thank you Jesus!
It is tough and I have new challenges
But I'm doing it!
 |
| Legacy Mt. Hood Hospital |
My view as I walk up to the hospital back after a long recovery
Nervous and praying I remember all the things I need too
So good to be able to walk
 |
| First Snow |
It didn't last long
But it was so pretty to watch as it came down
The flakes where huge
Hubby had said they where the biggest he had ever seen
It was a peaceful morning view
Drinking coffee and snapping pictures
As a flock of Canadian Geese flow over
That was amazing
 |
| The Ankle |
The ankle after a long days worth of work
So worth it
But......
Oh how I need to prop the foot afterwards
The recovery continues
 |
| Christmas Come & Gone |
Christmas was a simple quiet day
It seemed to take forever for me to get ready
For this special day
But when it arrived it was more amazing than I thought it would be
Hubby cooked and waited on me
As I rested the ankle and enjoyed the day
Thank you for blessing me Lord
 |
| Sunrise |
One of the beautiful sunrises this past week as I left for work
It was so amazing
As this year comes to a close
I think of all the beauty the Lord has blessed me with over this past year

| After A Days Work |
Below is two fundraiser links to help with medical bills.
We have no medical insurance to cover medical.
As I have just started back to work there is still not much of an income.
I will not see a pay check until mid January.
I also am not working the jobs I once had as I am unable too.
I was also released from one of my jobs that paid a bulk of the bills.
Through much prayers and through encouragement of some friends they suggested I give these a try.
Though only two people have responded.
God has been faithful in other ways.
Medical bills are piling up.
Just the few that have arrived already are near $30,000 plus.
And still coming in.
God is faithful and I trust this is alp going to be paid in full;
and every need meet through Him
