This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Time flies

Well, it has been a while since I posted. Things have been a bit hard with Preston. I figured out he was too sedated by one of his meds. so I cut back on it and he is doing much better, and going outside, and doing things rather than sleeping most of the time. BUT he is having bad headaches. I think it may be sinus??? But who knows. It could be a number of things when it comes to Preston.
Thurs. we go to the psychiatrist. We have a lot to talk about. I increased his bedtime dose of medication and cut the day time meds back by half. He cannot function and be doped up like that. But it is the medication that keeps him from getting agitated and violent. So it can be difficult.
Last night Missie and Preston played games on the kitchen table. It was so exciting to see them having fun together. Today they sat out in the woods and she read him a few chapter out of a book and he really liked the book.
Everyone here is in bed, and Missie is at a friend's for a sleepover. I like her at home, but they begged and begged and since it is spring break, we gave in. We are very particular about who she spends the night with.
Well, tomorrow is Friday. I am supposed to go by the dentist's tomorrow to get the back of my dentures shaved off some because I am gagging a lot with them in, and they said that they need to be shaved. It is at the other end of Greenville though, and traffic will probably be horrific. But Junior doesn't get off any other day on time for me to go. I am afraid that I will gag in church if I don't get them fixed tomorrow. Since the swellling of my mouth has gone down, I have started gagging. Oh the joys of dentures.
My mom has postponed her wedding for right now. They are having problems finding a place to live. She will be 75 in June and he will be 80 in May. They have been dating almost 2 years.
Missie and I have our reservations to fly to NY in June. My brother will meet us at Syracuse airport and drive us on into Canada. I got Missie a window seat, and she is so excited. She has never been on an airplane before. We will be gone from June 23 to June 29. Junior is taking vacation and staying with Preston. They both would rather stay at home. Jr. has projects around here he wants to get done. I can hardly wait to see my mom. It has been almost 3 years since I have seen her.

Goodnight everyone!
