Bootcamp, Man crushes, and Prayers

First things first. We had tornado warnings all over the place yesterday, so the hubby and I stayed in. Our Daisy girl is super scared during storms. I didn't want to be cleaning up puppy vomit and poop paint off our walls.

Today, to make up for my lack of gym yesterday, I'm going to Bootcamp. My friend Gabby goes and so do a few teachers from my school, so I'll give it a shot. The hubby is going to start training for a triathalon... I think I'll try to train with him. He's doing one in Oklahoma City in July with his BFF from High School. There is also one in our hometown in July. I think I'll try the one here. I'm scared of this. Biking 14 miles seems intense. I can do a 5k no prob... but I don't know about a 5k after swimming and biking. We will see. I know that I CAN do it. Just gotta put my mind to the training.

Second, why did God only put one Adam Levigne on this planet. That man is beautiful, talented, funny, witty, and did I mention totally drool worthy?? I mean come on... look at this...

I've always loved Maroon 5. And then I started watching "The Voice." I think I'm in love. He is so freakin' funny. And his little bromance with Blake Shelton is presh. Unfortunately for me (and lucky for the hubby) he only dates women who sound like they're from Russia. *sigh*

Lastly, I'm going to ask for some prayers. I have a former student that is a senior in High School. His name is John. When I had him, I always called him Ralphie because he looked like the little boy from "A Christmas Story."



He use to be a little chunkier :)  His skin is so yellow because of the liver failure
John is an incredibly talented, smart young man about to graduate High School. A month ago, he started running and fever and his urine was dark dark yellow. He went to the doctor and they ran some tests- all negative. He progressively got worse and they discovered that his issue was a liver issue. He was referred to a liver specialist in St. Louis. His liver was shutting down and they didn't know why. He became unresponsive, lost his ability to speak, his liver was shutting down, and he told his parents "goodbye." Luckily, they have diagnosed him. He has an incredibly rare auto immune disorder where his immune system attacks his body- most specifically his liver. Right now he is at Children's Hospital in Little Rock. He has begun having minor strokes, has lesions on his brain, an infection in his heart, his liver numbers are up, his kidney function is down, and his stomach is full of liquid. Things are not looking up for this amazing young man, but I know that God can work miracles. I'm asking you to just say a quick prayer if you read this. For him. And his parents. He is an only child. Their baby. I only know how I feel, having him for a year as one of "my babies" much less him being an only child... This family needs prayers.

Be happy and healthy. And tell those you love that you love them.
