Hi everyone
Thanks for the Birthday wishes!! I had a great day.
Sadly there was a death in Jason’s family right before the weekend, and it hit him very hard. We have a funeral to attend today. I haven’t written about it out of respect to Jason’s family (and won’t go inot detail). Jason is very upset by this loss. He is far more “private” person so I need to respect that.
Jason has a slipped disc in his back (ongoing for about 5 months now :C) and has been getting coritsone shots in his back. We have hours of driving today and I just hope he fairs it well. I know it will be very diffiuclat as he has a ahrd time with sitting and driving in a car. It is sure to be a emotional and physically challenging day for him.
Anyway given life’s events I didn’t get my other samples uploaded or anything for today. It’s just been very hectic with everything.
I will do that this week :C
Today is the releast at All That Scraps so check it out! Also check the blog for more peeks and give-aways!
Check out the release party thread later!

My condolences to you, Jason and his family. *hugs*
Good luck on the long car ride. I hope Jason isn’t in too much pain or discomfort during it.
My mom also has a slipped disc and was bed ridden for a year and a half many years ago, and to look at her now, you would never know. She slowly started on an aerobics program and keep up with it 5x’s a week. If she doesn’t exercise for a few days (due to sickness, etc.) she starts to feel some stiffness/numbness and shooting pain again…especially down one side of her leg. Anyways, she decided not to do the fused disc surgery and she is doing great.
I’m sorry for his loss. My husband lost his brother just a year and a half ago. As a matter of fact, it was 2 days before Christmas. Man, when I think about how he held it together for the kids (they’re still young and believe in santa), he was truly amazing. Again I’m sorry for your loss.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant you safe travel and may your husband be as comfortable as possible. God Bless!!
{{{LAUREN & JASON}}} Hoping today will go smoothly, and that J’s back will be able to handle the trip without too much pain. Safe travel, and will pray for strength for you both.
I am praying for strength for you and your sweet family to get through this loss and as pain free as possible for your Jason during this trip. Hugs, Ginny
Oh Lauren – I’m so sorry…
Big {{{hugs}}} to you and Jason. I’ll be thinking of you and, of course, praying for all of you.
I hope the long car ride goes well.
Hugs, my friend…

Lauren I’m so sorry to hear of yours and Jason’s loss. I hope he makes the trip okay. I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and I know long car rides can be miserable when you aren’t having trouble, so give him my best. Take care of yourself as well.
Big Hugs!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jason and family. Jason is also in my prayers for complete healing. I know our God can do anything above and beyond what we can ever need or ask for so I am standing on His word for Jason’s healing.
Glad you had a great birthday. You are just a baby as I will be 57 yrs. young in August. I don’t feel my age although I think I often look it, but life is good and we just keep on keepin on.
God Bless!!
so sorry to hear about your loss!
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Glad to hear you had a good birthday and all of the top 10 were pretty impressive. Sounds like you are in a good place. Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope everything goes okay with the trip today.
Hi Lauren,
My prayers go out for Jason. I hope he is ok. And I havent been looking at blogs lately, so Happy Birthday … late! You look great!

Lauren-
I am so sorry to hear about Jason’s family member. 🙁 I understand the whole respect issue. I will be praying for both of you and hoping that Jason will be feeling well emotionally and physically soon.
We will all be here when you get back…you need to be with your hubby right now. 🙂

Sorry about the loss to your family. You are in my thoughts. I hope you have a great year! I was reading everything you accomplished this past year and you deserve to be so proud! I am one person you truly inspire. I have made many gifts with your templates and you have inspired me to take my diet and excercise into my own hands and get healthier! I have lost 9lbs in 2 weeks and so inspire to your 65 pounds!! When I think of not excercising that 65 keeps me going. Thank you for sharing so much everyday!
Lauren,
I so appreciate your concern re: samples uploaded but take it from a slightly older lady– you are so correct in putting your family first. We are all wives, mothers, sisters, etc. and no one who keeps up with you and your work should ever be critical of lack of attention to all of us vs. your family. Our prayers are with you all. My husband has the same back problems and the stress that Jason is under will definately show there. Please keep your focus on him and his needs over these next few days. We can surely all wait for your next gifts to us.
Safe travels! Praying for you as you deal with all of this and the regular duties of being a mother.
So sad to hear of this – both the death in the family as well as his disc! I hope everything goes ok today and that you have a safe trip. Even though I don’t ‘know’ Jason, I do know he’s a great guy!
Lauren, So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you today as you make that journey.
So very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
I am praying for you & your family. I pray for Jason’s physical comfort during travel as well as emotional comfort.
Samples, videos, etc can wait…take care of your family. It seems he supports you so much…that’s good to support him now.
Lauren, sorry to hear the family news. Take care and I hope Jason is not in too much pain either physical or emotional. Janine
oh, I just left a comment on your other post and now I see this. I’m so sorry to Jason and his family (and YOURS as well!) and pray for peace and understanding for all of them. Death is never easy. I’m still mourning the loss of my birth mother, 2 years later. Sending hugs and prayers to you all!
Lauren,
So sorry to hear of your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your hubby’s family.
My condolences to you and your husband and your family and I sure hope he hangs in there with his back.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hugs…
Lauren, I am so sorry for you and your families loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. I hope Jason is ok.
I’m sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayer with you, Jay and the family at this difficult time.
*sincere sympathy, Lauren*
May the God of all comfort give you peace that passes understanding…and grace in time of need! I hope the drive and services are much easier than expected! My hubby struggled with a slipped disc for a while and it’s soooo painful…have you tried those self-heating stick-on packs by ace (at any pharmacy or walmart, etc…like a bandage)…they last for hours and really make riding in the car or standing for long periods so much more bearable!
Sorry about everything that you and your husband are going through. I have had 3 back surgeries so I can totally understand about what he is going through. Hopefully the day was bearable on his back. Thinking of you. Vicki from NNY
Sorry to hear all those bad news. 🙁
I’ll pray for you and your husband..
God with you Sweetie
Hi Lauren,
How sad. Your husband and his family are in my prayers. Loss is always so difficult. He’s lucky he has you to lean on! Take care of your hubby, the cards can wait.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope Jason makes it ok with his back. My husband has major back problems and surgreys, I know how difficult it can be for the drive.
Please know you and your family is in our prayers.
My prayers are with you both today.
Hugs
Nic
Lauren … so sorry for your loss. My Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family.
So sorry for your loss! Hopefully the car ride to and from the services wasn’t too hard on Jason! Take as much time as you need to care for your hubby, we’ll all be here when you feel that it’s time to come back 🙂
Lauren .. am sorry to read of your family’s loss. Take good care of your hubby. Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Hope the drive goes well ..
Hugs –
Maureen
