Blessings and a Birthday

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write in my blog again. A lot has happened since my last entry. We had a wonderful weekend with Nicki, Mathis, Chris and Matison home. I also loved all the time I got with Nicki while she was here in San Antonio for a week taking a training class(see her blog for details). Chris was able to see a Dr. here about his continual knee problems (each knee has dislocated 3 times), most recently at camp (Sky Ranch) this summer. In order to stop this from happening again, Chris ended up having knee surgery this past weekend. This was on the right knee. They will do the same surgery on his left knee in about 5 weeks. Matison was able to drive him down to San Antonio for the weekend and she was also able to schedule her practical exam for her Cosmetology license yesterday, which happened to be Chris's 21st Birthday!:) Matison passed her exam with flying colors!:) I had the privilege of being her model during the manicure and facial part of the exam. Although I'm sure Chris had better plans for his 21st Birthday than recovering from knee surgery, we count it a blessing that he can get this all taken care of before he and Matison get married in December. Another blessing is that we have had several showings on our house and seem to have one family that is very interested. Time will tell, but we are encouraged with everything so far. So, hopefully I will be better about writing in my blog or I will have to change the title from "Day by Day" to "Month to Month". Either way, we feel God's blessings on our life and know that He is the one in control.
