Hello Friends!
Wow! I started this blog post 2 weeks ago and then life hit us hard!! My husband Bryan had to have back surgery a week ago today so I took the entire week off. He is doing great now and should be back to work this coming Thursday. I am so thankful for the 2 surgeons who were able to get him out of pain! What a blessing that was.
The most challenging part of Bryan’s recovery for me is making sure he rests. He and I are opposite when it comes to recovery. I take the full time the doctor gives me to rest and relax while Bryan is up and about on day 2 and I have to keep putting him back in bed! I thought it would be appropriate to share this picture of the one time he actually listened. lol!! Don’t worry, he isn’t doing too much and his body is healing.
Okay, before I share this week’s giveaway I wanted to share that the HUGE promotion to join my team for only $75 ends tomorrow night! Now is the best time to join, even if you would just like to join for your very own discount!!
All right! It’s time to get to today’s pink candy!
