I am sorry...

...I am sorry I didn't eat better before.
...I am sorry I didn't take Cholesterol medicine  before.
...I am SORRY that I have been away form my blog for a couple of days.

Yep, I am sorry that some of you have been looking and have not found my blog for the last two days. It seems that BUYING A HOUSE takes up a LOT of your time.

Yep, Ashley & I took the plunge & put in an offer. Next thing you know we are under contract.
I kind of told you about it last time, but it is a nice place with more room, less yard to take care of & it is only 2 years old.

I guess we'll see just how much stress REALLY comes with buying a new home.
Maybe I could write a book...How to Buy a Home On One Heart Attack.

Nah...who'd read it? 11 people TOPS!
For the REST of the excitement today, just look outside (if you live on the East Coast).

We had about 2-3 inches of snow with rain & sleet mixed in. Made for heavy, wet snow.
I took the kids out after lunch and gave Mackenzie her first ever sled ride.

I'd like to say she LOVED it, but Ill have to call it a "mild affection." She liked it, but didn't love it.

I'll have to admit, I was the same way. I WANTED to love it, but I couldn't. Problem was that every time I picked her up, or I pulled her in the sled, I got scared. In the back of my mind, I kept picturing myself in the snow holding my chest asking William to call 911.

Now, understand that nothing hurt, I wasn't short of breath, I wasn't feeling any issues. I just kept thinking; remembering all of the horror stories you hear about how dangerous it is to be exerting yourself outside.

So...it appears I am not "over it". I still have that little voice reminding me that things were not so rosy two months ago...

...Oh my GOD...yesterday was the TWO MONTH anniversary of my heart attack.

Okay, realization interruption over...

The little voice kind of ruined things for me today.

But...finding the silver lining here...I am writing my blog, we had a GREAT dinner with some of the best neighbors a guy could ask for, and I kissed my kids good night yet again. So, that means I played in the snow with my kids, I survived (there is that word again), and I lived to tell about it with no apparent problems.

So what? Soooooo, that means I have done ANOTHER thing, passed ANOTHER test, lived ANOTHER day with no problems. I have taken another step along the path of being able to move beyond being a "heart attack survivor," and returning to just being Craig.

Happily, I have you guys along for the trip.
Thank you for keeping up with me & continuing to join me each day along the way.

Good night & God bless.
