After Disney World in September, we haven't come off the Disney high. Preslee is obsessed, like most children, with all the characters and now all the princesses. I love it!<br />
<br />
I love the pure innocence and the genuine love you can see in her eyes when she is talking about them or watching them on tv. Then the expression she made when seeing them again, just about made me cry.<br />
<br />
We went with my brother, sister-in-law and their two kiddos because I knew Preslee would love having them with us. We took the kids to dinner at All Aboard in Little Rock. It was our first time there and it was such a neat place. There is a train that delivers your food to your table. The kids thought it was so fun.<br />
<br />
Then we were off to see the show... but not before the girls turned into Cinderella! They wore matching dresses and were thrilled about it. They both had purses to match and carried them the whole night. I absolutely love having a girly girl! :)<br />

The show was even better than I expected. We had a great seats and the kids could see all the characters. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy were the emcees. Then the show consisted of 4 acts, that were Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Brave and Beauty & the Beast. It was very entertaining with something to sing along to or look at the fun costumes on the skaters.<br />

Wow! First of all I can't believe its been over 8 months since I blogged! I honestly don't even know where to start with sharing pictures from the last 8 months. So much has happened and it is overwhelming me to think about backtracking. So for now, this is just a hello and hopefully I will be back soon with more!<br />
<br />
I am doing well and trying to enjoy every minute of my little girls childhood days. We have been busy since September! She attends a church preschool 3 days a week from 9-2. She really has enjoyed it and talks about her school friends when she's not there. We went from tears at drop off to now she is running into her classroom and saying bye. She has made some of the sweetest crafts at school and I absolutely love to see how proud she is of her artwork. School has helped her come out of her shyness and she is learning so much.<br />
<br />
Since the one year anniversary, on October 6th, I have had many good days mixed in with some down ones. I started grief counseling in November and in January joined a GriefShare group. It has been so helpful and healing to talk about my emotions with others that are experiencing grief too. We finished the 13 week study last week and I am so thankful that I stuck with it (I drove to Little Rock- 1hr away- every Monday night.) My ultimate goal is to be a healthy and happy mother for Preslee and not miss out on anything in her life because of depression! I know that I can't just make the grief go away but facing it and working through it have helped me heal in ways I never knew were possible.<br />
<br />
~ GriefShare is a national group and if you are interested in joining, you can go to their website and they will have a list of churches/places that offer the class. Most will be off in the summer and will start back in August.<br />
<br />
Preslee is 2.5 yrs old! How is this possible? Her vocabulary is growing daily and she is constantly shocking me with the stuff she says. She is very compassionate and worries about things or people. She has the best memory. I could go on and on but I will stop, I just couldn't be more proud of her!<br />
<br />
I know that if Matt were around, she would be a total daddy's girl because she favors men and has all the men in her life totally wrapped around her finger. But she loves her mommy the most! We are best buds and love spending our days together. She is a mini-me for sure. Her love for makeup, hair stuff, babies, taking long naps, eating sweets along with many other things make us a pretty good pair.<br />
<br />
I look forward to her bright smile every morning and love that she still lets me rock her before bed. God knew what he was doing when he gave her to me. She will never know how much she has helped me get through the last 17 months. I am so grateful I get to be her mommy!<br />

I started my blog in 2008 as a way to share with friends and
family about my personal journey with cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 25, I had lots of
people who were curious but didn’t want to ask questions or who wanted an
update and asked every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I
birthed “bigpittstop” out of the drive to journal my thoughts and share my
journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>6 months later, after I
finished treatment and was announced in Remission, I had to begin to learn to
navigate my “new normal”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Talk about a
process!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was 26, a single gal living
300 miles away from my family, in my dream job and trying to figure out how I
was going to move beyond this label of “cancer survivor”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I embraced it, but I didn’t want it to define
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I navigated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

That’s what brings me to the opportunity that Julee has
opened up for me to share with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>3
years ago the American Cancer Society embarked on a transformational program
and 3 weeks ago we kicked off and launched our enrollment locally in Northwest
Arkansas for the <a href="http://www.cps3nwark.org/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cancer Prevention Study – 3</i></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

This is the first time a local cancer research opportunity
has come to Northwest Arkansas and will help us provide answers for the next
generation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first one conducted in
the 50s linked cancer and smoking and led to the Surgeon General’s label being
added to cigarettes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second, done in
late 70s, linked obesity and cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, the group that enrolled has aged out of a research population and
in order to continue to get answers moving forward, it’s time to enroll a new
research group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, we are asking everyone aged 30-65 who has never had
cancer to consider enrolling in the study.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will be part of a 20 year, long-term study.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To enroll you just go to <a href="http://www.cps3nwark.org/">www.cps3nwark.org</a> and choose your location
and time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know – early bird gets the
worm, or the exact time they want - so we have them set up as 15 minute time
slots for your convenience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you
pick your time online you will be sent a survey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will probably take you 30 minutes or so
(depending on computer skills) to complete <u>before </u>you come for your
enrollment appointment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, day of, it
only takes about 15 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be
giving a small blood sample similar to what you would give for general lab
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, every 2 years or so they will send a
survey for you to complete (I’d like to say by email, but can you imagine what
social media and other communications technology tools will be developed in the
next 20 years?!?!?!).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What are they looking for?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This study will focus on
lifestyle and environment – where we live, what we do, what we eat, how active
are we, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How does what we do to
ourselves affect us long term?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
crazy to think that just 50 years ago we didn’t know what smoking would do to
us and because that first group of over 1 million people got involved and was
willing to be asked a few personal questions and give a small blood sample, we
get to make healthier decisions today.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Technology is only good so long as we use it. There are
millions of apps out there that might simplify some of our lives but they don't
do us any good unless we download them. Yes that new TV and Cardinal Red grill
(yes, I’m a follower!) would make tailgating 3x more fun, but if we don't go
out and take advantage then we've only dreamed and not acted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My challenge is to ask you to ACT. If you wait until
tomorrow to register to enroll in this, you've missed your chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://www.cps3nwark.org/">www.cps3nwark.org</a>
We are encouraging as many people to register by Sept 3, this will allow us to
plan and prepare for the enrollment – did I mention we are trying to enroll 500
during the 4 days in Northwest Arkansas.<o:p></o:p></div>

I recently walked into an office that had this sign hanging
above the counter where they served customers- “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">There is no place like this place anywhere near this place, so this
must be the place</i>.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only is this
the place, but this is the time. I believe we are close to answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe answers can come in a
lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But we have to stop thinking
“someone else will do it” or “they have plenty of people”. Truth is everyone is
thinking that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, we need YOU.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your kids need you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their friends, classmates and future spouses
need you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your grand kids need you. I'm
guessing that the median age of the readership here probably isn't thinking about
grand kids, but neither were those guys in 1950 sitting around a room smoking
asking "you think there's something to this?"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And we life healthier, longer, more productive lives because of them.</div>

My mother-in-law, Lisa got married on June 29th! She lost her husband September 4, 2005. After being a widow for almost 8 years, Steve walked into her life just 6 weeks after Matt died. They met November 17th on a blind date with some mutual friends. They hit it off immediately and the rest is basically history! :) She was engaged on Valentines day and is now a married woman and even moved about an 1.5hr away to his hometown. He has 3 teenage daughters who have gained a wonderful stepmom! She has been through so much and it's truly a great thing to see her happy! I wanted to share some pics from the wedding and show off what I believe is the most precious flower girl ever! :)<br />

I've missed you and I hate that I've been away for so long! I'm going to try to at least blog from my phone since I am not spending much down time on my computer anymore! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Last week, I started out my birthday celebration with a girls trip to Grapevine, TX! Mom, P and I did this last year and had a blast so we went for 2 nights to the Gaylord Texan and spent a day at their water park! We ate good Mexican food, rented a cabana for a day, swam with some good friends, relaxed and had a great time! I had my first Drybar experience and shopped at the Northpark mall in Dallas before heading home! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3MQm9vWoLS0pSaY0CqYb-T0rVHdEBSZK59xaQaVYhXannpVSo5v0BF4mRHc8KA0sD6YaXma1ShGIHKFmxUAF22gMIqS67eqC5ug03llFdeK7eFPkpVcvuqv8pwgJPjgiaYGdY8cSczYV9/s640/blogger-image-564160236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3MQm9vWoLS0pSaY0CqYb-T0rVHdEBSZK59xaQaVYhXannpVSo5v0BF4mRHc8KA0sD6YaXma1ShGIHKFmxUAF22gMIqS67eqC5ug03llFdeK7eFPkpVcvuqv8pwgJPjgiaYGdY8cSczYV9/s640/blogger-image-564160236.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If you have read my blog for many years, you will remember that I always spend my birthday at a church camp with Matt's family. Matt and I basically met out there and I have been with him every year for the last 13 years. Needless to say, this was incredibly difficult to attend this year. I made it out there for a few hours and decided I would just have to try again next year! :( But P had a blast at her 2nd Campmeeting! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgArpxq34r5NtCJql5NNY5RcnK48wIDJAdRIeIkiSa1mHTF86oLX_5en0CYetScscq2VpBsGjkw16w8XLSK0epY9sDGR2uQiBWvCLwkG9Rbye6gKyCibZB4dc6g3m-GjhvUjvDe1BQHwAB9/s640/blogger-image--965086298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgArpxq34r5NtCJql5NNY5RcnK48wIDJAdRIeIkiSa1mHTF86oLX_5en0CYetScscq2VpBsGjkw16w8XLSK0epY9sDGR2uQiBWvCLwkG9Rbye6gKyCibZB4dc6g3m-GjhvUjvDe1BQHwAB9/s640/blogger-image--965086298.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Then I was blessed with a family dinner party with Matt's mom, Steve, brother Andy & wife Chelsey along with my parents, brother & his family! We ate at my favorite, Outback and had yummy cake! I loved seeing our kids dancing and having fun together. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PUHKXC9vQBxvtuNNZOiZDJgZWV89NrhN2CGA3zjayQydgxNsWPuLZSAcfBZGjdZljCSLOQUe0G94uz7dcGohb6iVp7Wi4EjGBCE3HWsFEoNFgf_fRN_iz8dRM5213K_lBih6jcaSDNdz/s640/blogger-image--595203465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PUHKXC9vQBxvtuNNZOiZDJgZWV89NrhN2CGA3zjayQydgxNsWPuLZSAcfBZGjdZljCSLOQUe0G94uz7dcGohb6iVp7Wi4EjGBCE3HWsFEoNFgf_fRN_iz8dRM5213K_lBih6jcaSDNdz/s640/blogger-image--595203465.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lastly, I have gotten about 50 birthday cards from blog readers and let me just say how sweet it is to read each one and know that I have so many prayers still be said for us! You will never know how much it meant to me to be showered by birthday love! Just one of the many reasons, I love the blog world and why I am not going to give up blogging even though I've done a horrible job keeping up in the last 10 months! Thanks for hanging with me and for the continuos thoughts, prayers and love! And thank you again for making my 30th birthday so special!! </div>Juleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10161546803536214442noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105728816455422859.post-26699700186726250872013-06-07T22:33:00.001-05:002013-06-07T22:33:55.426-05:00Little Rock Zoo <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most of you know from fb, twitter or instagram (I post daily pics on instagram @juleebturner) that P broke her leg almost 3 weeks ago! We were at a birthday party at Jump zone and I went down an inflatable slide with her. After crying a little, she wouldn't put any weight on it. After two days of not walking, I took her in to find out she had fractured her tibia! :( Thankfully we get it off on June 11! Only 5 more days to go! I hope to post some more pics of the days with the purple cast and even video of her walking and even running in it! She's a trooper! </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> One of my very favorite stores in Fayetteville is Riffraff! Kirsten is a sweet friend that I have always admired. She has worked so hard and turned a small business in to a huge success! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After Matt died, Riffraff had a day of shopping where part of the proceeds went to Preslee's college fund. This meant so much to me and I can never thank the people that went to shop that day and Kirsten enough for their generosity! </span></div>

Besides God (obviously), he is the helping hand that made my biggest dream come true!<br />
<br />
After tons of research and many friend's opinions, I made an appointment in St. Louis to see Dr. Sherman Silber at the Infertility Center of St. Louis. It's a day that I will never forget! His positive attitude and assurance that I would have a baby is something that I will never forget. I wrote more about him in my blog post about our IVF journey (read <a href="http://mattandjuleeturner.blogspot.com/2011/06/part-2-our-ivf-journey.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>).<br />
<br />
I get many emails about why I chose this clinic. For me, it was where I felt the most comfortable. Hormones along with fear & anxiety made me a crazy person, so when I went and met with Dr. Silber and his staff and they took all that anxiety away. I knew it didn't matter how far I had to travel because this was where I wanted to be during my In-vitro process.<br />
<br />
I was the first to complain about having to travel and it being more "work" to conceive a baby but it really doesn't matter how far, how long or how much money it cost when you feel confident and comfortable with your doctor! I would recommend him to anyone!<br />

Jennifer and the kids have been down quite a few times and that makes our day! And that day, they just happen to be in Hot Springs so we met them for dinner at CFA!

<span style="font-size: 18px;">The new year brought on many different emotions.

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Then, the week that had been dreaded. Jan. 8 was Matt's 33rd birthday and Jan. 13 would have been our 6th wedding anniversary. I was really sick with virus that week and I decided that I would move to my new house that week too. I am not really sure what I was thinking but I just about killed myself trying to get things settled I guess I was just trying to keep busy so that I didn't let my thoughts and emotions of the week get me down. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">But that brings me to the fact that Preslee and I are finally in our own house! We love our little place and feel very comfortable and cozy here! I am going to do a whole post of the renovations of the house so you can see the before and after. After 3.5 months of living with family, I am just so thankful to have a place of my own again. My parents and MIL are absolutely wonderful and took such good care of us but it was just time to try to regain my independence and figure out what life looks like now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I realized I never posted these pictures of Preslee's birthday party! It was a Princess crown theme and it turned out so fun and cute!</div>

We had it at a local event center which was just a big open room. My dad grilled burgers and hotdogs, Lisa and her sisters made dips, pink popcorn, & pretzel rods. Then I got crown cookies, cake and cupcakes from our favorite bakery in NWA, Rick's bakery! The party was a great turnout and the kids had so much fun playing with all the riding toys! </div>

Preslee's 1st birthday was so fun! We had been anticipating the day and it was actually not as sad as I thought it was going to be. The night before, I thought about all the events that had happened the night I went in to labor. It was hard to think about how excited Matt and I were about the arrival of our sweet baby but it was a day to celebrate and try not to be sad so thats what we did! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chick-fil-a is a favorite of Preslee's but the nearest one to us now is in Hot Springs (30 min away) but our family loaded up and made the trip for the birthday girl! We got her a little smash cake, ate chicken and played until she could barely keep her eyes open! It was a perfect party! I know that Matt was celebrating with us in Heaven but it sure was hard not having him there. I made sure to video and take lots of pictures just like he would have done. :) </div>

Some of you asked about our sweet boy, Romeo, so I wanted to share these few iphone photos of him! He is doing ok. Shiba's have quirky personalities as it is but I can tell that he is unsure about what is going on lately. Thankfully he loves being at my parents house and he adores my dad so he is mostly content staying over there. </div>

He was already not sure of what was going on since we had moved to Little Rock but now I really worry about him and the effect all this will have on him. I know he is just a dog but we love him like he is our first child. I know he misses his daddy so much. They were best buds and he loved for Matt to wrestle with him on the bed. I have told everyone not to even say the word "Daddy" around him because it will break my heart to see him run to the door or window to look for him.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to getting moved into a rent house so that I can spend more time with him and he will have a back yard again! But for now, he is doing ok... Just like the rest of us! Thanks for asking about sweet Romeo! </div>

Preslee and I were so happy to have Jillian, Brody and Jennifer spend the day with us a couple of weeks ago. We played all day and ate a good lunch at Cracker Barrel. We miss our weekly play dates with the Francis family but I am so thankful for them making the 4 hour trip down to see us! </div>

Then the next week we had Preslee's best friends, Caroline and Annabel come down to visit us for the day! I love their mommas so much so it was so good to spend the day with them. I was very exhausted that day but we still had fun playing in Nanny's play room and then ate a great lunch at the Honeycomb! </div>

Halloween night was difficult. I wasn't too bothered by the fact that Matt wasn't physically with us because I had expected that he would be working. But the fact that I couldn't send him pictures of our bumble bee and hear how much he loved her costume just about killed me. I am glad I made myself carry on and make this memory but I am just so sad he wasn't apart of her first Halloween. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I am surviving. I am trying to make plans for my life with Preslee. We have moved back to our hometown where my parents, his mom and family and many of my friends live. I never would have imagined that I would be back here after leaving 6 years ago, but right now this town is comfort for me and I feel like I am doing the right thing by being here. I question just about everything about my life and wonder what Matt would say or do but I know without a doubt, he would want us here where we feel safe with family support! </div>

You literally don't know how you are going to be hour by hour. And you never know what is going to trigger a breakdown!<br />
<br />
The days after a bad nights sleep seem to be my worst days. I guess the lack of sleep makes my emotions less controlable. Friday was one of my worst days. Reality hit me in the face first thing when I woke up. I felt like I was suffocating. I got up and walked outside to try to breathe in fresh air. I ended up walking with Preslee down the street while hysterically crying.<br />
<br />
Lisa, Preslee and I went for a drive a little later and decided to visit Lisa's sister. She lives past the lake and as we crossed the dam, I unexpectedly had a panic attack! I have been to the lake all my life but during college, Matt's family got a ski boat and we went all summer long. I have some of the best memories with Matt on the boat. As I crossed that lake, memories that I had even forgotten came flooding back to me. It was a trigger that I never would have guessed would have caused me so much pain. My whole body was shaking and as I was driving Lisa actually had to tell me to breathe.<br />
<br />
I am scared of bad days and I am scared of triggers! And coming off of post-partum depression, I am scared of being depressed the rest of my life. I know that eventually the pain won't be so bad but not knowing how long until that will be is very frightening.<br />
<br />
I find myself saying things that Matt would say or telling others about stuff Matt would say or do. I don't want to forget anything and I want Preslee to really feel like she knows who her dad was... Not just her dad the news anchor or her dad who was sick a lot. I want her to know his funny sense of humor, his obsessive personality, things he liked or didn't like. I want her to know everything about him and I am determined to do all that I can to make sure we both go through life remembering him!<br />
<br />
Most days I don't feel like blogging. But I do want to let you readers know that I am making it. But most of all, I want to journal bad times as well as good times. I hope to blog soon about Preslee and share some recent pics but right now I am just writing to journal and get these thoughts out of my head so that I may have some peace at some point when I re-read this when the pain isn't as intense.<br />
<br />
Thank you again to everyone involved with the silent auction! Those fab 5 who coordinated it, the ones who donated items and the ones who bid and contributed to the Preslee Turner fund... I can never thank you enough!<br />
<br />Juleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10161546803536214442noreply@blogger.com113tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105728816455422859.post-1261256261188836842012-10-18T12:04:00.002-05:002012-10-18T12:04:18.719-05:002 weeksIt's been 2 weeks since I last saw Matt. I was going to my parents for the weekend and left with Preslee and Romeo after dinner on Thursday night. We had a great time during his dinner break that night! We sat on the couch and laughed at everything Preslee was doing. I am so thankful for those last moments I had with him. I am thankful that I hugged and kissed him when he left. I am thankful we had one last good night together!<br />
<br />
I do wish that I hadn't left town and that I could have been with him on Friday and Saturday. I will always have questions about his last moments but I believe everyone has a birthdate and death date that is completely in God's hands. I just wish I could have been with him until that last moment he was here on Earth.<br />
<br />
Evenings are still the hardest on me. It was his time of the night and he wanted me to stay up late so that we could just spend time one on one. He would be so happy when I wasn't asleep when he got home from work or when I needed to get up to feed Preslee or pump. So now when I am up late in the night, I wish I had my night owl buddy with me. I miss him every minute of the day but at night I just can't get the pain in my stomach to go away.<br />
<br />
But once again, I have a reason to get up everyday and the stuff Preslee is doing these days just literally cracks me up! Her new favorite thing is to dance. I am so thankful Matt got to see her dance for the time to music but if he could see her bob her head and bounce up and down when she hears music today, I know he would just fall in love with her all over again like I do!<br />
<br />
(I will try to get a video of the dancing to share! I know it would make all of you smile like it does me!)<br />
<br />
I know I don't have to continue to thank you for all your comments and prayers but I just want you to know that while I may not be able to email everyone back or thank you individually... I read every comment, email or text and I truly appreciate every single one of them!<br />

First of all, thank you to my blogging friends and community for the silent auction and the cards & comments you have written to me. I really have no other words than I appreciate them more than you will ever know!<br />
<br />
I know at some point in the grieving process that I may be angry for what has happened but at this time, I just keep thinking of all the blessings that God has given me and I also keep seeing how God's plan has been in place and working towards this day for a long time without me realizing.<br />
<br />
My number one blessing and the reason I get out of bed every day is Preslee. I stopped to think this week that maybe God had me go through infertility for the amount of time that I did because he knew that I needed this particular child and at this particular age to keep me going. I even wonder if he gave me a girl, even though he knew how badly Matt "thought" he wanted a boy. She obviously changed his heart the minute she was born but maybe he knew that I needed a lifelong friend. She is my buddy today and I know that she always will be and I am forever grateful for her!<br />
<br />
I learned through my struggle with infertility that there are good days and bad days and that you need support any way you can get it. Right now prayers are getting me through this. During part of my infertility journey, I found comfort that others had walked down the same road as I was, had felt some of the same emotions and came out on the other side and survived. I have had some women already reach out to me that share this same tragedy and I know at some point down the road, they will give me much support and comfort knowing that I am not alone. During the middle of the fertility struggle, I would never have thought that I would be finding any good from the pain I went through but today I am praising the Lord for the lessons I learned from that time in my life.<br />
<br />
My family has been extremely supportive of me. I have always been aware of how truly blessed I am by my having my mom and dad. I was fortunate to have parents that would do just about anything to make sure I was happy and taken care of and that has never stopped. I hope that I can give Preslee the same comfort in knowing that I am always on her side and will love and support her for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
Matt's family has always been graciously loving to me. I could not ask for a better family to call my own. They are have been wonderful to me for the 12 years that we have been together. Matt would even tell me that they loved me more than him which I don't think was possible but it did make me feel good knowing I was welcomed into such a great family!<br />
<br />
I think that I might have the best friends that anyone could ever want, need or hope for. I have so much love and support from people I have become friends with throughout my life. They all have text, called, emailed and visited me this week and are willing to do absolutely anything I need from them. I hope that I can repay them some day by being as kind to them as they have been to me.<br />
<br />
My hometown of Arkadelphia has just opened their arms around me and has shown me more love and support than I even know how to accept. I lived here for 23 years and have been gone almost 6 but I almost feel as though I never left. There is just something to be said about small towns and I would not be anywhere else but here right now!<br />
<br />
I ache with my entire being to just talk to Matt and feel his warm body. I don't know how I am even living right now without him. We were extremely close and talked all throughout the day. I miss our daily life together. I miss texting him about things Preslee is doing, I miss making sure I had dinner ready when he got home, I miss saving shows on the dvr so we could watch them late at night. I miss buying all his many snacks at the grocery store, I miss seeing Romeo and Preslee get excited to see him when he walked through the back door, I just miss him! I can't get over the fact that I will never see or talk to him again.<br />
<br />
BUT...I am extremely thankful that I know that Matt is in Heaven and he is healed. Not many people really knew how bad he was feeling. He had many days that were just by a miracle that he was able to get out of bed and go to work. It was a daily struggle for him to try to live a normal life but the physical pain was always there. He was a great actor when he needed to be. He didn't want to burden everyone else with his illness and apologized to me frequently that I was "stuck" with a sickly husband. I would tell him to stop saying things like that and that I loved him no matter what and I truly meant that! Don't get me wrong, life was not easy taking care of someone who didn't feel good and then got harder once I had Preslee to take care of too, but I am thankful for the life we had together. I will always be sad there wasn't more of it.<br />
<br />
In the note he left me on his phone, he asked me to "Please remember me for the good times and not the years when I became frail, sick, weak and moody. Please remember me as a man who would do anything for his family and who cared about them more than anything else."<br />
<br />
So I am going to try to honor his wish and I am going to praise Jesus for the good times we had together and I am going to share all of our good memories with Preslee so that she knows how wonderful of a man her daddy was!<br />
<br />
Thank you again for all your prayers. I feel them all day and I truly believe they are the reason I can put one foot in front of the other and make it another day without my sweet Matt!<br />
