Sweet Sweet Summer Time

I have abandoned posting for a while, we have been really busy and a LOT has gone on in the Jacob's household. The one thing I can say is that we are truly blessed and we are so thankful for the multiple blessings God has given us.

We started out with July the 4th at my sisters house in Elk Point, South Dakota! Yes, we drove to South Dakota a whole 13 HOURS!!! So fun! I know you are so jealous at this point. We had a great time hanging out with my sisters, brother in law, grandparents (drove from Wyoming), cousins and my nieces. I loved it and it also made me realize how bad I want to be closer to them geographically! Oh, and the weather as you can tell in pictures was wonderful. July 4th we were in jeans and sweatshirts! I think Elliot and I ate more than we have ever consumed in a week period and played more back yard volleyball than I have in my entire life! Life is so good!

A few weeks ago we were able to celebrate a great friend of our Scott's birthday. He is married to my first best friend ever, Stacey. We have been friends since we moved to Arkansas, she was my back spot all through cheerleading during high school and has been such an awesome friend to our family. Her and Scott crack us up and we enjoy getting together will all our friends for birthdays. Randi-another great friend from high school was there also and we had such a great time catching up while I was watching my wild kids run crazy through Stacey's new house. It was a great night and we loved being able to see everyone.

Me, Randi and Stacey- love y'all!

I was hesitant to blog about the next subject but I feel like I really need to and that it will help me with some closure. During the month of July we went through the pain of losing our new dog and we also miscarried during this time.We lost our new puppy that we rescued to parvo and it was extremely hard for us to do. Beaux was Caleb's dog and Caleb was actually with my parents on vacation when we had to make the decision at the vets office. Elliot was out of town in a golf tournament and Cannon Ty and I had taken him the vet's office. The vet informed me that it was a severe case and he would have a slim chance of making it after in office intravenous treatment that would last at least a month. It was awful and I boo hooed like a baby. I also at the time was pregnant and had started having complications that morning. After weeks of problems they diagnosed us with a miscarriage (this was not our first miscarriage) and diagnosed me with having some hormone complications.

I am now being treated with hormone treatment and Elliot and I will have some difficult decisions to make in the time ahead.

Okay, sorry I know that was a ton of information-probably info overload so sorry!

One thing that has made us jump for joy and cry tears of happiness this month -Miss Arkansas-Sarah Slocum!!! She is a great friend of ours who dates one of Elliot's best friends from high school. She is the sweetest thing ever and she is so strong in her faith! God has graced her with this amazing job for the next year and we can't wait to see her knock the socks of the judges in Vegas! We love you Sarah!
