I came across your blog a long and convoluted way. My father also had ankylosing spondylitis, with every conceivable complication. He fought is every day of his life, from the age of 13. In his 50s he still crewed a yacht in the Cape to Rio race. I just wanted to tell you that you have the same positive attitude. I know you are going to keep this down. There are the painful days, but there are lots of days you will feel better. Just keep moving. Wishing you all the best.

You have such pretty, pretty people in your family, Sara! I absolutely LOVE Laura's hairstyle. Wonder how I could get mine to look like that.

I hope you've been able to experience a noticeable difference in your breathing since with the ceiling fans running. What a great trade-off! You are so very loved...that's the best of all blessings!
Hugs & prayers from one who loves you, as well! :*

I'll have to look and see if I took a photo of it... it was a HUGE chunk of ice that formed behind one of my pictures that was hanging.

I have a friend that had to be induced a few years ago, so she chose 4/5/06 for the date... it was kind of cool. Hope all goes well with your cousin!

we've done some trading for the car so it was a gift from his parents, not me. but on a personal/emotional level... knowing that my car was going to him and that he was excited about it took away all the sadness of having to acknowledge that part of my life was over. it would have been so much harder to let go, but now i think of it and get a smile on my face knowing that he has a piece of me with him... and that he has so much excitement ahead in his life. it's a pretty cool thing.

thanks, sweet girl... i'm ridiculously lucky to have them do that for me. funny thing: when Jeff [my brother in law] told me to pick out one i liked, I ended up picking these and they were the EXACT same fans my sister picked out for her house when they built it. guess we have the same tastes :)

they really do make a difference for sleeping. hope you find some soon...

i always had a little fan going in my room that didn't help with the breeze but I couldn't sleep without the noise, too... now I have the best of both :)

ice on your walls?! Oh my word.

Yesterday was my cousin's due date. She wanted SOOOOO bad to see it happen, at 12:34:56. Alas, it did not.

maybe "black hawk" is the name of the little devil on riley's shoulder that seems to whisper in his ear from time to time... :)

You know, he doesn't shiver or anything, but he definitely gets cuddly with the blankets. I put him in a shirt now and then just cuz I'm worried about that.

I keep thinking I'll take them off high... but it just helps so much to have the air moving that I'm leaving it at wind tunnel speed :)

I love the fans! I bet giving him your car was tough, but really sweet of you.

a tad jealous I might say! BEE.UUU.TT.IFUL fans!! WOW! I LOVE! We have been looking for some to put up in the bedrooms for better night sleeping, but haven't found any that we love quite yet. These are gorgeous!
So very glad they are helping you breathe a tad better.
Thinking and praying as always. Muah.

Gotta have my ceiling fans, the breeze plus the noise helps me fall asleep at night! Nice looking nephew! Nice of you to help him out.

What a handsome young nephew and how fun to bless him with your automobile! :) Your house is adorable ... so wish I could sit on your couch and drink tea! :) Someday ... I have relatives in Iowa, you know. Hope you feel better today! Praying!

So glad to hear you have ceiling fans! I don't think I could sleep at all (what little I do sleep hahahaha) without my ceiling fan to help w/ the hot flashes :)

I love reviving rooms... and what better way than adding fans? What a blessing to have family nearby! :)
