Ready, set, swallow a pill

That's about as exciting as it's going to get. I had my labs done last week. They were way higher than they expected. The higher the number the more hypothyroid you are. Normal 2-5. They wanted me between 30-40 to do radiation, I was at 88. Yea me!! I know how to get things done. After some unexpected scheduling issues, it is scheduled for tomorrow (Monday) at 1pm. I literally go in, take a pill and leave. So that's it. Not exciting, not scary, not even inconvenient. I will be radioactive for a while, so I will stay away from Steve and the girls til Thursday or Friday. I can still work and go about my business. Steve calls it a "Sabbatical." I'll take it. The girls are good with it. The suppers are made and in the fridge and my hubby is ready. I hope he doesn't get lonely at night. I know how much he thrives on me talking his ear off from 9-11pm, hehe. Good thing for phones!!
This Saturday Steve and I got to go GR, JW Marriott with Dekalb seed company. Big fun! The girls had to much fun with our friend Kelli, and Miss Brooke went to her Uncle and Aunts (not sure she wanted to come home :) and Steve and I got to hang out for a night. It's always a treat to get to do those things.

That's about it for outings for the Koemans. We will now have to hunker down and try to stay warm. BRRRR is it cold out there however Leah and I were commenting yesterday on God's beauty. There is something about seeing the snow come down so softly, and white fields covered all fluffy. It's truly God's amazing creation that I love to see!!

yes, the beauty of today does remind me of our great God. He forms the snow..he decorates the trees..he made the little rabbit that makes its tracks in our yard..he watches over the cardinal that sat on our tree branch...He takes our sins and cleans us up whiter than the snow...He walks before us, behind us, next to us and offers to hold us by the hand or carry us when we tire. I am talking to God about you and asking Him to give you strength for your day. And I'm asking Him to show you His smile:)
In His Grip, barb
