Lost

I am looking for my camera which has pictures of Hannah and Joshua for their updates. Until I find it, watch this video of Days End's 2008 review. (You might want to grab a tissue, ladies!)

DeEtte's Update

The GOOD

It has been a month filled with good-times. Three friends from New York came for a weekend of fun. Our time together included a night of dancing at Union Jacks, a sleep-over, early morning gab sessions over coffee, a play performance, lunch out, manicures & pedicures and late nights playing Wii while eating our favorite junk food.

Last weekend was Days End's holiday party where over 300 people came to celebrate a big year of volunteering and changes for the farm. It's a fun night of "whose who?" as it's pretty much the only time we get to see each other out of barn clothes and without mud all over our faces. Everyone cleans up really nice!

These are my co-workers, Erin (left), Brooke (right) and my boss, Kathy (far right).

The BAD

My health issues continue and are stumping my Doctors. I had a HIDA Scan three weeks ago which showed that my gallbladder was functioning normally. A good thing, I guess? I am continuing to take Prilosec for the next 30 days to rule out a gastric ulcer but in the meantime I am having a CT Scan of my abdomen done tomorrow (Tues.) at 10 am. My symptoms remain pain in my right back, right front (below the rib cage), nausea and stomach upset. It is typically a problem 3 - 4 days a week with no consistent triggers (food). I will keep you posted!

The UGLY

Well....I guess related news here is that I recently had my hair done. It was long overdue considering it was JULY when I had it done last. It's much better now but it was getting pretty unsightly. *sigh*

Back on-line

I have been out of touch due to the hard drive on our computer crashing. We lost some important information but I'm not going to dwell on that.

There is a bunch to fill you in on but for now I'm going to send you to youtube to watch Josh in his first-ever movie. He spent Thanksgiving at his friend, Luke Rockswold's house in Southern Virginia. Luke's dream is to become a director and he spends a good deal of time making movies. You will see that he has a lot of talent!

Josh loved being a part of Luke's video and he even got to play two roles. Watch and you'll see Josh shooting at himself! For those of you who wouldn't recognize him, Josh is the one on the left in the bar scene and is the driver, "leader" of the swat team (where he's wearing a black hoodie).

Enjoy and I'll be back later with more updates.
