Sausage, Sun Dried Tomato, and Spinach Alfredo

I See You
I didn’t before, but now I do. How many of us take for granted that when our need arises that the nurses and doctors will be there, waiting for us. They don’t have to do it, to put in the long hours, and put their own lives on hold, to save ours. I remember feeling concerned when the weather was bad, wondering what will happen if they can’t get here. How will they care for the patients if they are short staffed? Amazingly enough, even then, they put patients first. They opened up rooms for the staff to sleep, so…
Going Home
Just a quick update, WE ARE HOME!! Today marked the 35th day at the hospital for Jason on this journey. We are thrilled to be in the comfort of our home, and surrounded by our family again. As we were pulling out of the hospital today, things finally seemed “real” to Jason, as he is no longer living in a fog. As we came to the exit of the parking lot at IU West, as I’ve done 34 times before, a strange thing occurred. A funeral hearse and procession passed at exactly the moment we were trying to enter onto…
Perspective
The definition of purpose: the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. What could possibly be the reason for going through something as big as this? Thinking about that makes me think about the idea that the same God who created all of the wonder in the world, the mountains, oceans, or the sunrise, also created you and I. He has a plan for each one of us, no matter how small this big ole’ world makes us feel. It may be hard to imagine, but His plan is always bigger and better than…
Amazing News
The sun is shining down on us. Jason has been exubated, the ventilator has been removed! The doctor came in yesterday afternoon and he thought we were ready to give it a try. Ten minutes later, we were watching a miracle happen right in front of our eyes. He spent 22 days on the ventilator. The stories he is telling us are incredible, and he is so very grateful to be alive, it’s amazing. Our two older children were there with us yesterday, and he was able to facetime with our youngest, and those moments were precious. He was also…
Jason’s Covid-19 Journey
If you don’t believe in God’s miracles, this story might change your point of view! We both knew that if Jason ended up with Covid-19 it would not go well. With that being said we let our busy lives interfere with our intentions of learning all we could about the Covid-19 vaccine. Neither one of us really felt safe getting the vaccine, and there were so many stories both positive and negative, that we just kept putting it off, and sticking with our instinct of not getting it. Knowing how easily Jason can get sick, I’m not sure why we…
The adventure begins
Our adventure began a long time ago, but it begins now for all of you. Over the years, there have been so many people tell Jason and I that we should write a book, and that nobody will believe that this stuff is real! Of course everyone likes to manifest a story, and make it seem more than it is, but that’s the glory of writing, it leaves so much to the imagination! A story can be a powerful tool. If you are looking for something to read that will take your mind off of all of the everyday things…
