Okay, this is going to be quick and I will write about it in more detail later..... (this way, if I don't, you can bug me until I do! )
I was HEALED June 6th, 2007 of Celiac disease!
I have been eating food containing gluten since that day with NO side effects at all - no pain, no nothing!
I will write more later but wanted to share this with you! I have been meaning to get this on here but I have been so busy and also catching up on sleep!

Ladies Retreat
This past weekend was our annual Ladies Retreat with the ladies at my church. Each year we do this the first weekend in June and we head down to Cedar Springs Christian Retreat Center in Sumas, Washington. This year we had Kimberly Dirmann as our speaker. She was a delight to listen to and really made us think! God really spoke to me this weekend and I know that I am entering a new season of change and expect some great things to happen!
After retreat was over, our two car caravan headed off to do some shopping! The exchange rate was really great this weekend and so shopping was fun! We headed into Bellingham, had lunch at Red Robin's where I was able to customize a gluten free meal for myself and I got to eat french fries!!! (Imagine that being said in a VERY excited voice!) Red Robin's uses a dedicated fryer for their fries so I didn't have to worry about cross contamination from other fried foods (like onion rings, and any other breaded fried food item) I haven't found anywhere else yet that does that (other than McD's and I don't really frequent there!) I got some fun new tops and a pair of dressier knee length shorts, some flip-flops, a new water bottle and a gorgeous new necklace!
It was overall a great weekend, we had fabulous weather the whole weekend and it rained & thundered after we got home so that was all good!
I got to talk to Ronel yesterday & today after not talking for a week because of not being home (I watched a friend's child last week at their home and then was at Ladies' Retreat) and it was SO nice to hear his voice. A week is a long time when we normally talk every couple of days!
Ronel has his follow up appointment tomorrow (the 6th) to see how his gallstone is doing. Please keep him in your prayers. He said he had a fever and cough over the weekend also and I am praying that he isn't getting sick. It is rainy season there now and so it is more common for people to get sick at this time of year.
Well, I am off to bed now!!

fun changes
Well, I had fun tonight working on creating my own personalized header for my blog. I used a photo I took in Haiti on a trip to Mirebalais in Dec 2004. I loved this tree that was so HUGE and the photo looks so awesome with the great colours behind it. I did stretch the photo so the tree looks a bit larger than normal.
I went down to Bellingham with my mom a week or two ago and purchased Photoshop Elements so now I can do as much digital scrapbooking stuff as I want to!
I don't know what other changes will be in store for the blog but with my new found hobby - who knows what is next!!!
