Dad

I posted a new picture and video of Dad!!! He's doing so wonderful. Praise God. He is practicing walking with a long stick and he says it is like the staff of Moses! What a Godly man we have been blessed with.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!


My mom has been wonderful lately. I know she has been tired and run down, but she has done great!!! You can tell the love She and Dad have for each other is a gift from God. She swore she'd never get on a plane to go farther than Vegas, but she sure did travel to Germany to be with him in a heart beat! So, Happy Birthday Mom! It's your day today!

Pics of Dad!



Here are a few more pictures of Dad from the hospital on Wednesday! He is too cute in his hat! It's Mom's absolute favorite!!!

New Pictures of US!




Here are just a couple of pictures that we took this weekend! Just going out to eat and to the movies. We saw The Express. It was wonderful!!!

Wedding Stuff!



With my Daddy getting better every day...he says he is going to walk me down the aisle...that gets me thinking about wedding plans. Here are a few pictures of my engagement ring! It is perfect. My fiance is so precious! I showed him this picture of this exact wedding set over two years ago. Little did I know he printed the picture and kept it until he was ready to propose. He took the picture to the jeweler and said, "I need this ring." Am I spoiled or what!!!!!

My Sweetie!




I thought it would be a good time to add the few pics, admittedly older, of my fiance and I that I have. We are determined to take new pics ASAP because our pictures, while not old, are not as new as they could be. We are high school sweethearts. We went to college together and are both now finishing Post Grad degrees. His dedication and work ethic are an inspiration to me. I love him so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!








Happy Birthday to my beautiful neice Sarah!!! I love you my sweet baby girl!

New Video of Dad!

Ok..this video is long, I'll admit. But I am a sucker for watching my Dad's progress. Thank you Jesus - he's getting so good at walking! He doesn't have an assist on that left leg like he did just a few short days ago! Even the therapist was gushing on how much he improved from yesterday!!!!

Amazing Grace!



The grace of God is so wonderful. I continue to be awed by it every day! Above is a video of my father walking!!!! WALKING!!!!! God is truly working miracles today. Of this I am certain!

My Hero was Hurt and I wasn't There!


My dad recently traveled to Iran to visit our family. While there, he suffered a serious stroke. I told him at the airport when we dropped him off that if anything happened, I would come get him. And that's exactly what I did. I was able to see my family that I hadn't seen in 10 years, but even more important, I got to my Dad and brought him home! Since he's gotten back, he has made WONDERFUL strides. He is, of course, exceeding everyone's expectations for his progress. I will never forget the sermen we heard the Sunday morning we found out about Dad's stroke. The speaker said, "I want you to know that God is working miracles today, just as he did in the Bible." I now know that is true! Thank you God! Here is a picture of my sweet Daddy in the hospital! I love you Ghand-E!

My Hero!


My father has been my Hero since I was a little girl. I wanted nothing more than to impress him every day. He just seemed to be this wealth of knowledge. He had all the answers to everyone's questions. You could NOT throw him a curveball. Here is a picture of us from a birthday I had a couple of years ago!
