Christmas Happies

Today was a day of good news. Rog & sis, Erin had me hopping...we had a string of doctor visits & was able to accomplish a CAT scan, neck xray, chiropractor (thx family for watching Zoie) The reports were very positive!! My face feels like a big bruise, but feeling so much better. The one thing that doesn't hurt is my foot...a miracle!! I came home to a clean house..thanks Hannah & Michael!! Zoie crawled...really crawled for the 1st time!! I enjoyed quiet time reading all the special Christmas cards jammed in the mailbox:)) My AMAZING hubby has taken care of every detail...from head to toe. I am overwhelmed with gratefulness!!
I'm nervous about surgery tomm....still can't believe I broke my teeth. I hate to say this, but....all I want for Christmas is my 4 front teeth:)

The true meaning of Christmas for my family is celebrating, our Savior, Jesus. I am gently reminded today that God has allowed this pain in my life for a purpose. I have felt His love, grace & peace...He is always near. I am thankful for the *happies* He provided all day long!!

Bloggy friends...thanks for your cheers & prayers:)

Surgery went really well!! They were not able to save my teeth, but made me a little *happy* called a flipper. Its got 4 perfect teeth..connected to a retainer. Its awesome!! I'm thankful for a great dental plan, strong drugs & soft food!! :) In 8 months, I'll have 4 beauties implanted....they'll last me the rest of my life.
Thanks for your cheers!!
