Things are really looking up

Well its been 8 months since Kayla got admitted to the Children's center. My baby is finally coming home October 1, 2009. She has improved so much since she has been there. She is now doing pivot transfers so its not going to kill my back when I have to lift her anymore to put her in her chair, because she is going to be doing most of the work. I am really excited about her coming home but I am also really nervous too. It has been 8 months since I have had her home and I am so afraid that I am going to do something wrong and mess up. I know we can't just pick up and go anymore like we have been able to do for the last 8 months. But it will all be worth it to have my little girl home with me again.

David and his mom have been awesome in being there and supporting me in this transition. David is also scared but I know we will be able to handle it and we will be fine. I am so excited that I get to take her to church with us again. I miss doing stuff like that as a family with her. Our church has a awesome CP class for Kayla.

Krystal, David's daughter is so excited about Kayla coming home, I know she will be excited to have her go to school with her. And grandma is doing so much to help make the transition go as smooth as possible she has done so much for us I don't know how I can ever repay her. But I know her and she does it because she wants to.

Everything has been so good lately:
We had to have the lift on the van fixed because a bolt broke and we couldn't use the lift at all without this bolt. Well they went ahead and replaced both bolts. Well it was going to cost us 317.88 to get it fixed and we had no idea how we were going to come up with the money. Well last Wednesday at church after choir one of the guys walked up to David and just handed him 20.00; Well then last Sunday one of the ladies handed me 70.00 I was like WOW God is so good and he will provide. So we need 225.00 more to be able to get it. Well our sunday school class is helping with that. Then the Children's center paid the balance so we are going to use to money from our Sunday school class and get her new tie downs for safety reasons. And David's mom gave us money to get her diapers, bibs, and absorbant pads for her wheelchair and her bed. I am so glad things are looking up for us.Well the best part is yesterday we were having them fix the bolts, well we had them look at the remote to see how much that was going to cost us. Well, the only thing wrong with it was that the wires had come out of both ends of the remote, so they put them back in the way they were supposed to go and didn't charge us anything to fix that. Out of the 317.88 we only ended up having to pay 90.00 God is so good I wish I could always remember that even when things are hard and life in NOT so good.

Thats about it on our life for now. Kayla is coming home this weekend so I will post more on Monday about our weekend

God bless and have a great weekend

Love,
Dixie and David

It's been a while

Well its been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. A lot has changed in my life since my last post.

Me and Jeff are now divorced, I am living in Oklahoma and he is still in Virginia. I am currently in school. Jesse is living with my dad out in the country. He does better with him. Kenneth lived with me for a year and now he is with his dad in virginia. It was a hard decision to make but one I had to do for my sanity and to get him what he needs. The have better drs in Va than they do in Oklahoma. Kayla has been at the childrens center a places for specaial needs kids to get them the help that their parents can't give them. She has been there since December 5, 2008 and she is coming home October 1, 2009. I am do excited and nervous at the same time. I put here there because everytime I would pick her up I would pull my back out. She has learned to do standing pivots which helps a lot. She is doing most of the work and I don't have to do as much lifting. Which makes it really nice.

I met an amazing man. He walked into my life when I didn't think I needed anyone other than God and my kids. He showed me what its like to have someone really love you unconditionally. We are getting married May 15, 2010. I am excited but also nervous. I am excited because I finally found that guy that will always treat me the way I deserve to be treated. But also nervous that what if... something happens and he leaves me to? I know thats just doubts because of my last marriage I know im not perfect and I know David doesn't expect me to be.

Anyhoo, that is the latest on my life story....lol
