<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Why have half of the pictures on my blog disappeared?? Am I seriously going to have to go in and add all of these again?? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Looks like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">May take a while but what else do I have to do? AARRGGHHHH!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: segoe print;">I am just beaming when I see these pictures.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;"> </span><span style="font-family: segoe print;">I was blessed to be the recipient of a $1000 gift card to <a href="http://cardinalcamera.com/index.html" target="_blank">Cardinal Camera</a>. </span><span style="font-family: segoe print;">Lisa from <a href="http://www.thelongroadtochina.com/" target="_blank">The Long Road to China... and back</a> had an awesome give away last week and I won! </span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">I have wanted to upgrade my camera for so long. I have a good one, but it was still limited in the ISO capabilities. I had prayed for God to find some way for me to be able to afford to upgrade my camera but just did not see any way I could. </span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">Then I read on Lisa’s blog about her new camera she had just gotten from Kurt at <a href="http://cardinalcamera.com/index.html" target="_blank">Cardinal Camera</a>. Lisa also stated that Kurt had generously offered to help <a href="http://www.halfthesky.org/en" target="_blank">Half the Sky</a>. This is a wonderful organization that helps orphans in China. If you shop on-line and </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">enter the discount code "HALFSKY" when you check out he will give 5% of your sale back to </span><a href="http://www.halfthesky.org/"><b><span style="font-family: segoe print;">Half the Sky</span></b></a><span style="font-family: segoe print;">. Even if you shop at one of their locations mention the code to whoever helps you.</span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">Kurt had also offered a $1000 gift card to one of Lisa’s lucky readers…..</span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">I was that lucky reader!!</span> </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">I received my new Canon 60D camera yesterday and have been giddy ever since. </span><span style="font-family: segoe print;">I still need a lot of practice, but I have already noticed a huge difference in my pictures. I am LOVING it! Thank you so much Lisa and Kurt!</span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">I need to add that Lisa is an amazing person. I have taken several photography classes from her and she goes out of her way to help you. She is a wife, mother of three beautiful children, career woman, awesome photographer and now is starting a boutique! I don’t know how she does it as just typing all that made me tired.</span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: segoe print;">Please go visit her at <a href="http://www.thelongroadtochina.com/" target="_blank">The Long Road to China... and back</a>.</span> </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">I am in a bit of a bind…. or actually a <em>cast</em>. I have a nice <em>little</em> Carolina blue cast on my left leg from just below the knee down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Over 35 yrs of living with Diabetes is taking a toll on my body. I was diagnosed with Charcot’s Joint in my left ankle.</span> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">One of the <em>wonderful</em> things about Diabetes is that even if you have great control of your blood sugars you can and most likely <em>will</em> get complications. That is me, I seem to be one of those that even with fairly good control I seem to get every rare complication there is.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Charcot’s Joint is also called neuropathic arthropathy. The foot becomes deformed as a result of the lack of nerve stimulation, which causes the muscles to lose the ability to support the foot properly and fractures can occur. Walking makes it worse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Charcot damage is treated by avoiding putting any weight on the foot while it heals. Usually the foot is put into a cast for a period of weeks to limit damage. <strong>6-12 weeks! </strong>Surgery may be needed to restore a more normal shape to the foot. This is what casting the foot is trying to avoid. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">So now that you know more than you wanted to….. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Needless to say pictures may not be happening much. I have a hard enough time just maneuvering myself with crutches or a walker, let alone try to snap pics!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">I have some pics I haven’t posted yet and I do need to catch up on. Here are some random ones from the last few weeks.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">On the morning of August 17th we welcomed into the world</span><br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Shane Michael Creech, Junior</span></div>
<br />

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">All 8 lbs 12.8 ozs and 21 1/4 inches of him</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Shane Junior is Tim’s son Shane and his wife Sara’s first child. Shane is serving in Afghanistan and will not be home until February. Junior was not expected for a few more weeks so he was a very pleasant surprise. Sara told the Dr she was NOT having a baby today and the Dr told her “Oh yes you ARE!” </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">I brought my camera to take pictures of him and was very surprised and honored to be asked to go into the delivery room and take photos immediately after his birth. He was so alert! The pictures of him with his eyes open are so stinkin cute. It was as if he was trying to take it all in. Then the crying would start again as if to say “Put me back!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">This is what my crazy girls do during a hurricane! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">This was during the calm eye of the storm so we told them “sure, go play in the rain”.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">We were very fortunate that we only had a few tree limbs knocked down during the storm. We did lose power but only for about 6 hrs. Many in our town were not so fortunate, they are still out of power. Our county was one of the hardest hit in our state with many trees causing damage. We are praising God that no lives were lost.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">It arrived bright and early….. <em>really </em>early!</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">These girls surprised me though. They got up and were ready 10 minutes before we had to leave! Now if you have a pre-teen or teenage girl you know what a miracle this was.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Samie was actually excited to go to school this morning. Up until about 5th grade she loved school. I mean <em>loved</em> it….. so much so that at the end of the year she would cry because she did not want it to end. This morning she was all smiles! Yea! Let’s see how long this lasts.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Sydney has been excited to return to school for a long time now. She really misses that social interaction.</span>
<br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">I attempted to take pics inside the house with their flowers, they get one for each year of school starting with kindergarten, but the lighting was horrible and Samie would not let me post them. I did get a good one outside right before we loaded up the car.</span>

<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">16 years ago Tim and I pledged our love for each other before God and our families. 16 years 4 months and 12 days ago He brought together 2 strangers through the ministering of an Angel here on Earth. </span></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Tim and I met on a blind date that was set up by my good friend and neighbor Gigi, our Angel! Gigi worked for the town I lived in and Tim was a policeman for that town. She had to talk both of us into going on this date. I was <em>done</em> with men and Tim was getting over the end of his marriage. But Gigi kept insisting that we needed to meet.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">We went on one more blind date and never looked back. One month to the day after our first date Tim asked me to marry him. He likes to tell everyone that he got me at a weak moment, I had a migraine. But migraine or not my answer was yes!</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">The last 16 years have brought many joys as well as many struggles. <strong><em>MANY </em></strong>struggles! But oh the joys we have had!</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Happy Anniversary my love! </span> </div>

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">I had such high hopes for getting soooo much done around the house this summer. Yea…NOT so much! We also had hoped that construction on our house addition would be done. Yea…NOT so much. In fact it hasn’t even started. Why is it that no one else is in a hurry when you are? Banks, appraisers, building permits, etc….we are waiting now to see if our plans have been approved and permits given and then construction will begin. As if starting school and all the other activities that will start up isn’t enough chaos, let’s add in an addition and remodel of the kitchen!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Ah well, we wouldn’t know how to act if there wasn’t chaos all around us.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">For what has been going on- Samie had cheer camp, church camp and dance camp. Sydney had church camp and has spent a lot of time with Mema at her house on the lake. Which will soon, we hope, not be an option as she is selling it and will be moving in with us.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">We were able to get away for awhile and celebrate Sydney’s 6th birthday. We went to Myrtle Beach and it was so great to get away and just enjoy family. Of course just walking out the door to the beach was pretty nice too.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;">Samie and Sydney took turns burying each other in the sand.</span></div>
