The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hi All,

Thanks for checking in. I'm sorry I haven't updated lately, I guess I felt I didn't have too much to share. I am thankful to the Lord for His provision over the last few months. Before I was laid off from Lennar, my previous employer had contacted me asking if I was interested in returning to my old position. I called them the day I found out that I was no longer employed and the process began for my return.

On Monday, October 22, I started back at Women's Health Associates. I am working as an Insurance Administrator. I submit all of the claims for the office and then follow up when they are not paid. It was strange to return to the office that I had left over six years ago. The first two weeks left me feeling deja vu several times. Thankfully, the training notes that I left six years ago were still there to refresh my memory as to the job I need to do. Things are running smoothly now.

Thanksgiving was a nice day, strange because my parents were not home. Last year they left me at Christmas, but this year it was Thanksgiving. The reason was a very good one though. Mom had several days off and Dad had an appointment at Emory University. His neurologist had sent him there to be evaluated at their Movement Clinic. Dad had been struggling more and more to walk, and the answers to this just could not seem to be found. The specialist at the clinic confirmed the diagnosis of Parkinson's and also changed the frequency of his medication. This change had made a drastic difference in Dad's mobility. We are very thankful for the change.

Mom and Dad were also able to spend a few days with Ethan's family and then Thanksgiving with Aunt Loretta and her family in Atlanta. I spent the day with Dad's family enjoying the new toddler in the house my cousins little girl Katelyn. Kids really do make the holidays more fun don't they?

We are looking forward to Pam and Mike coming home for Christmas, and we are hoping that Ethan and Sharon will be able to come down too. For now we are preparing for the day and looking forward to the extra time spent with friends and family. God Bless you all.
