Puerto Rico was AWESOME!!!!
















The colors in Puerto Rico were so vibrant. The weather was hot and ideal for lounging on the beach enjoying the sun. We were truly able to relax. I did learn the hard way that my sunblock expired. I use spf 30 and it didn't hold up. I am starting to just now recover from my sunburn. Ouch! I did see a beach cat chasing a lizard around the pool. It was the funniest thing I have seen in awhile. All and all it was just what the Hayes family needed.

I want a miracle for my dad.


Please pray for my dad. I am realistic enough to know that whatever will happen, will happen with my dad's health, but I am praying for another miracle for the cancer in his liver to heal and for God to guide the doctors that are a part of the process. At times, I feel guilty for even asking for another miracle seeing as how my dad is already a walking miracle (16 years + heart transplant survivor), but I don't care how selfish it seems...I want him to enjoy many more years of this life. I want him to see my future children grow up, I want him to walk my two sisters down the aisle, I want him to build his cabin out in the woods, I want him to live out his dreams of being a cowboy with my mom at his side. I want to know him better. I am selfish for all of these reasons. Most of all I want him to stop talking about "making arrangements". I have got to believe this isn't going to be it. I know the power of prayer is real.
