I know I've fallen behind...I'll just pick up now...Today I'm thankful for Wendy Brobston Lastovich! She works for Envoy Medical and has been so gracious to answer all my questions as they arise. She works very hard, and is a very pleasant lady. If all companies had people like her to work with customer relations and such, I'm pretty certain this world would be a better place!
Lol.Well, I guess I just have to start off by saying 'Sorry for getting behind once again!'. Us Churman's have a busy life even when my ear isn't involved :) We went to Oklahoma City this weekend for a friend's wedding. It was very nice and we enjoyed it. Even got to stop off at the Outlet Malls on the way home to do a lil shopping! I'm such a bargain hunter......I got $224 dollars worth of clothes for like $17 bucks at Van Heusen, then at GAP I got about the same deal on stuff. Total score :) I'm an avid thrift store and garage sale junkie, so sales are the next best thing.
This morning we drove to Dallas for an interview with the BBC out of England. The interview went very well, and I was surprisingly calm and enjoyed myself. The gentleman that I spoke with was Matthew Bannister, and he was very pleasant. They said the interview will air on Wednesday and they'll mail me a copy so I have it.
We returned home from Dallas in time to catch our interview on the Drs Show that we filmed a few weeks ago. I thought it went very well and was very informative. We were there with the CEO of Envoy Medical, Patrick Spearman. I enjoyed spending time with him and getting to know him, he's a very nice man.
Tomorrow my husband Sloan and I are leaving to stay the rest of the week at a Bed & Breakfast for our 10 year anniversary! I'm so excited! We got married on November 17th 10 years ago, and the time has FLOWN by. I was a young bride ;) Sloan proposed to me a couple of days before 9/11, then I turned 19 the next month on October 5th, then we were married November 17th. None of that dragged out engagement stuff for us. Lol. I have been so blessed to have Sloan as my husband. He is more than I ever could have hoped for; as a man, as a hubby, and as a Dad to our girls. Your mate is an important choice. Possibly the most important choice you'll ever make in life. Having someone to propel you, to lift you up daily, to love, and to care for you will shape your life as an individual. I'm so glad I got Sloan. I strive to be as good of a wife to him as he is a husband to me. Everyone hug your mate today and let them know you love them. Tomorrow is never promised <3
I completely agree with you about husbands. I married at 20 (am now 22) and I can't think of anything more central to my life except my religion. I feel the exact same way about my husband and I'm so glad to find people who feel the samd congratulations on our implant.
ReplyDeleteOne of the students in the youth ministry I volunteer with posted the link to when you first heard sound, and I had to hop over here to read your blog! I think we're kindred spirits! I'm quite impressed with your bargain shopping! And I completely agree with your last couple of statements about mates. We married young (20), & we just celebrated 15 years! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your story. Happy anniversary!! May God bless y'all with many, many more!!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteJust heard the interview from Mathew Bannister on BBC World Service in Reykjavík, Iceland! Congratulations and all the best for you and your family! :)
Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteChiming in as a husband here...my wife and I have been married for 20 years (she was 19 when we were married, like you, Sarah) and you are absolutely right about loving our spouses EVERYDAY, because tomorrow isn't a guarantee. I'm not the best at this, and I'm kind of a "loner" even though we have 5 children, but my wife is truly the only person I could never live without, and I thank the Lord for her.
ReplyDeleteI live in Houston TX and heard your interview on the radio. Then searched your video on the YouTube when I got home. My husband and I are happy that you can "hear" now! Congratulations! Suzan Ajani.
ReplyDeleteHere is the link to your interview!
