Learning to Tie

The puppies are so cute right now.  They are all running around and playing and untying shoes.  I love them.  They are 5 weeks and 4 days old today. 

I had a pretty good weekend.  Saturday was the Heritage Hill Home Tour.  That's always fun with the girls but it was a bit too hot.  I think it was about 90 degrees and HUMID.  That is NOT normal in Michigan in October.  Today is supposed to be the same.  We did get some sad news during the day though.  Lori's husband is in Iraq and his vehicle was involved in an IED explosion and a soldier was killed and others were injured.  Thankfully Jeremy is ok but it was sad to see Lori get that call.  It really brings home how much this war and the fear for loved ones is affecting so many in our country.  After Diana's sons were injured this past year I've thought a lot more about what it must be like to have someone you love overseas.  I am praying for Lori and all of the other families.  Jeremy is supposed to be back in 5 weeks and I am sure this is going to be the hardest 5 weeks for his family.  Lori is very strong though and she is doing such a good job of staying positive and she's so excited to see him.

Saturday night I went to stay at my mom & Ted's.  My nephews Mike and Jon were there and so was my stepbrother Tony and little Gabers.  It's always good to see them   Then Sunday I actually woke up at a reasonable time (7am...usually my mom lets me sleep until 11) and I got to play with the puppies for a while and then we went to see Dinosaurs of Patagonia at the IMAX theater.  It was in 3D but I found out that things aren't 3D when you only have one functioning eyeball.

Now today I have to try to deal with the insurance people again.  They are telling me that they won't cover my new prescription for glasses because I already used up my big $200 this year.  But I was told that because of the surgery it should be covered.  So I have to call the surgeon's office and see what they say and if I can get a letter of medical necessity...I don't know that it will make a difference though.  I HATE dealing with Insurance.  I'm glad I have it but I would like it if I never had to speak to them.  I also have to start paying some of these medical bills since they are starting to threaten us with "legal action".  Freakin' Grand Rapids Opthamology.  I wish I could get them to pay this stuff since they are the ones who CAUSED this. 

Tonite is our first "real" Photography group meeting at church.  I'm not prepared so sometime today I had better get going on that as well. 

I had better do that now. 

Have a nice week.
