036 My Favorite Things

Well, Friends, we are into the post-op now. I don't know if I will be updating quite as frequently as I have been but I will definitely attempt to be on here no less than once a week to let you know what is going on in our world. It's hard to know what all I should write about now so if you have questions feel free to message me because it may spark an idea for me and that would be much appreciated.

I did want to take this opportunity to talk about a few of my (Christiana's) favorite moments over the last few weeks. The pre-op liquid diet was really hard and stressful. Then we were straight into the surgery and now we are in post-op. I just wanted to take time to be thankful for the really good/funny moments that happened so that they won't be lost.

I decided the best way for me to share my favorite things with you was by posting pictures of them. So here they are, Christiana's favorite things:

We had really awesome support.
This is a conversation between Jimmy & Melissa
about the day that Melissa did the liquid diet w/ him.

This was Melissa's husband's response to their
conversation as posted on Facebook.

Jimmy was really sweet and wrote some supper nice
things about me so I felt that needed some recognition.

The kids from our church's daycare absolutely love Jimmy
and they got him some toys to help him get well soon.

025 Ode to Jeff Foxworthy

This weekend Jimmy and I were experiencing all the nuances of being on a liquid diet for the first time. While I was preparing one of our meals I began to think about just how funny it all was. The funniest thing was that it popped into my head in the form of one of Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck" jokes. So I decided to test a couple of my thoughts on Jimmy. Well...he laughed so I thought I would share a few of them with you.
