Happy Birthday Momma!

Hi guys

Hi guys,
I finally had my surgery on March 24th and am recouping at home and have therapy, this surgery was harder than the others because of all he had to fix, he reshaped the underside of my knee cap, cleaned out and infection in the synovial fluid, and too care of microtears in a couple ligaments, then he removed a meniscus, that was torn, all in 2 hours laproscopically....I am getting there slowly, I amoff the crutches, and using my cane. Each day is getting better I am able to semiwalk normally, but not like everyone else does....it will be sometime before I can be without my cane but I will get there. Life is difficult at best right now but its ok....I wil perservere,,,,I have faith.

The weather here is turning warm and flowere are trying to bud....I hope all are well and doing good, I bet its hard to stay in the books because of the turn of seasons but stay studying as summer will be here soon

Love all of you and Thanks for all the prayers
Maria'

Spring is Here!

Well, at least in NC it is. I kept my promise to Momma that I would try to find an hour or two to have some fun this week in the midst of the work I was trying to get done. This afternoon, Robert, Barbara & I went for a drive to find a park or someplace to take a walk and take some photos of spring. We stopped at the Bog Gardens in G'boro. It was a gorgeous day for it too- highs in 70's and partly sunny! Just perfect!
I just figured out how to add this photo slide show too! I'm EXCITED!!!Hope spring is coming your way too.

Love,Rebekah :)

From the desk of Bridgette Lane:

so, as spring break was near approaching, my debit card was stolen at one of the malls here in lincoln. fortunate enough, my instincts told me to check for it, detecting that it was missing before any charges could be made.

so, on my recent adventure...formally called spring break, i did pretty much a whole lot of nothing! i did, although, get a new phone, a new hairstyle and a new pair of glasses...that is just about ALL the excitement I can take for one sitting. spring break for me, was a good time to catch up with friends, it was the first time i have been home since christmas break.

my latest news...
I'm changing my major from Advertising to...something that hasn't been decided yet :D but i will let you know when i figure it out. i will be going home in the next month to crown the new prom queen...FUN! i also, hopefully soon, will be purchasing a vehicle. but other than all of that, not much going on, just preparing my class schedule for next fall and hoping to figure out what my plans are for this summer! Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Easter :)

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful Easter.

Pop & Mom & Jessica, take care of each other and give each other a hug from us transplanted North Carolinians.

Love,
Rebekah, Rob, Robert, Barbara, & Matthew

I'm in a play! Yeah for me!

I am in my schools drama club and this semester we are doing a play called Fast Train To The Poorhouse. Right now the women parts have not been asigned because many of the girls are inconsistent in coming to meetings. I am looking at maybe being the part of Miss Priscilla Brokemeyer or a school girl/salon girl. Also I will be helping with the backstage stuff. We will be video taping our production so if you want to see our production I will gladly send you a copy. Anyway I will let you know more information when I get it, if you want it or not. :)


Loves and Kisses, Barbara Rose :)

Thanks for Prayers Everyone

It was a sad weekend for us with Ralph's funeral. Yet it is so great how we do not sorry as those who have no hope when we know our loved one knew Jesus Christ as his Savior. Ralph called his kids to say goodbye because they live out of state and he knew they might not make it home before the pain medication made him unable to communicate. His pastor told us at the funeral that Ralph's last message to Julie and Brian was:

Love one another, forgive one another, take care of your family, take care of your Mom and always live for the Lord. That is all that matters.

What a legacy to have from your father!!!

At the funeral the pastor explained that if one hoped to see Ralph again they needed to ask Jesus to be their Savior. He prayed the sinner's prayer and we ended the service singing, "When We All Get to Heaven." Many clapped their hands. I know Ralph would have been pleased!

I have a friend at work whose brother-in-law also died this past week from cancer and his funeral was Saturday also. She shared with me today how her sister could not even stand and greet those who came to visit and how she fell apart at the grave. What a difference the hope of Jesus made for Minnie.

Still, it will be rough for her after 41+ years of marriage. The last 8 years Ralph was retired and they were together 24/7. Please remember Minnie in your prayers.

Thanks for praying for all of us this past week.
