I just found out this morning my uncle may be dying; this is my birth mom's brother, my Uncle Steve...I'm so thankful for the time God has given me with my uncle after my reunion with birth family in Nov. 1998, but very sad as it will be a great loss to me when he goes; I'll be visiting him at the hospital today

I tripped and fell pretty hard on segment of ground covered by only brick while celebrating David's and my 5th wedding anniversary at the Stockyards Saturday, July 19th. ?Turns out there was one piece of brick not flat, sticking high up out of place that I tripped on; I fell so quickly I did not have time to try and catch myself.

My left arm is broken & my right arm is badly bruised; I'm very sore all over right now. But, I plan to rest, follow-up from my ER visit with an orthopedic doctor this week.

We still will keep our upcoming events as planned, which cheers me up:

Saturday, July 26th,
Renewal of wedding vows - David & 'Chelle


And then on Saturday, August 2nd,
we'll be having a housewarming party  less

Saturday, July 19th will be our 5th wedding anniversary for David and me; then my birthday is July 25th and then we renew our wedding vows on Sat, July 26th - we are so overwhelmed by it all but all in a good way - I was so moved when my birth family told me they are putting it altogether - many family members thru my birth family are contributing different things and putting it together, such as the lunch reception, cake, flowers, and so on - and they told me last night they want David and me to   more...wait until we rehearse an hour before ceremony to come to the church so we can be surprised and see all of what they put together - I had offered for David and me to help set up and get stuff, but they refused.

Thru all of what I'm going thru right now with the immediate family I grew up with falling apart, I have to admit God somehow finds ways to give me the strength to keep me going, such as this blessing!

I may try to make a video blog soon as I have alot of update.

Love & Peace,

If it's alright, I'd like to ask for all of your help in praying, hoping, and believing...that I will feel better soon...

I have a serious infection in my sinuses right now that I'm on strong antibiotics for, but ENT has forewarned me that if I do not get any better within next couple of weeks, then chance I'd need to go on IV antibiotics in hospital - and as some of you know, there are events happening then:

July 26th - David and I are renewing our wedding vows for our 5th anniversary
August 2nd -   more...our housewarming party


I'm having "strong faith" that all will be better soon...also am needing to find a job soon as well near my new home area....

Thank you all for your coninuous love, prayers, & support!!!

Love & Peace,
'Chelle  less

After all that occurred recently with almost losing my husband (near death experience he had), I am very excited to tell y'all Dave and I will be somehow, someway symbolizing-renewing our wedding vows in July- we don't know yet if it will be at a church and then have reception at our house or if it will all be at our house and how informal or formal it will be - but we have decided together for sure that we will be doing something - it will be our fifth wedding anniversary. Can't wait to have it   more...videotaped and share it with all of you later, too!

Love,
'Chelle
