There's a New Mac in town...

It has truly been a lazy and relaxing weekend. My weekend started after a morning in the Saturday urgent care clinic. All went well and it was not to busy. Since that times its been constant comfy clothes and couch lounging. Saturday found us with some exciting games and some not so exciting football games if your a UT fan. Saturday night I found myself struggling with an unwanted stomach rumbling that left me feeling uneasy through most of Sunday as well. After sleeping late this morning I found myself settling in for some exciting Ryder Cup action as well as a little TN Titans action. Even though i wasn't feeling 100% it is always some what nice to just sit around and do nothing on Sundays. I know that throws me into the slacker sinner category on Sunday but hey its not like i do it everyweek.

Earlier In the week, we had a new addition to our family. Small-sleek, cute, cuddly and amazingly smart. It sounds like a Heady doesn't it? Tara's birthday came a little early for her this year. As many of your know she is currently attending TTU trying to finish up her degree sometime within the next few year. There had been a few times where the conversation led to "It would be a good time to have a laptop while at school." Conveniently enough Apple has been running a special where if you buy a Mac for school you get a discount and a free Ipod touch. The special was only running till the middle of September so I had to pull the trigger about a month early. Needless to say this week has been quite the exciting experience playing with the new gadgets. Even as we speak my lovely bride is using it in a group meeting for a presentation they are doing next week.

On the lighter side of things...... If you believe in "kitty prayers". Our cat Scofield must have been constantly petitioning the Big Cat lover in the sky this past week. We were scheduled to have both our cats fixed on the recommendation of our good friend Bob Barker. We were scheduled to drop our cats off with Dr. Mark Burke in Smithville on Tuesday morning. Tara drove down to Smithville only to hear "I'm sorry Mrs. Heady. Dr. Burke is in the hospital with Kidney stones." If we could understand cats i'm sure you would have heard an emphatic "Praise God!" from the little cat carrier in the car. Unfortunately for them we have another appointment this week and I don't think it could come a moment to soon. Without getting to graphic for our young blog readers I think our cats have found that being brother and sister doesn't bother them to much. We noticed Nala doing an interesting little girly dance last night. We had to seperate the little devils last night to try and prevent something crazy happening in the dark hours of the night. We will keep you updated as this story develops this week.

And a good time was had by all!

Heady update! Alot has happened since our last transmission. Trips to the beach, summer ending, and the county fair. The beginning of August we loaded up and headed to Jekyll Island, Ga for a week at the beach. It was a good week just to get away. If you have never been its nice relaxing destination filled with lots of cool history. IF your looking for wild parties and crowded beaches then Jekyll Island is not for you. There is not alot to do on the Island other than relax on the beach and learn about the former exclusive Hunting club that was the vacation home to 1/6th of the worlds weatlh. Names like the Rockefeller, the Vanderbilts and J.P. Morgan were some of the founding families of the Island. It was an invitation only experience for their lucky friends. The first trans-america phone call was participated in by president of AT&T from Jekyll island in 1915. In other news, tara is part-time at Ben lomand and full time at TTU. She has full load of classes with 17 hrs. She has some pretty neat classes and few skanky ones that will be just trying to get through. As for myself, I am officially full time in good ole Spencer Tn. Good news came my way a few weeks ago when i was accepted for the NHSC loan repayment program. My 2-year contract started on July 30 and will result in about 90% of my remaining loans to be eliminated. so that was a big praise report. The transition has went really well and things are settling in quite nicely. We recently spent a few good days with Judy (Tara's Mom). It was a good time to relax and catch up on lost time. This time of year would not be complete without good stories from the Local white county fair. The fair is always the marker in time where the summer comes to a close and in my mind fall officially begins. Seems like every year it always gets cool during the fair and is a nice crisp breeze in the air. The fair is always a good time to see an illustration of the Worlds melting pot. You have a culmination of some of the world's most interesting people. Lots of money, a few good candied apples and a good time was had by all.
On a more serious note before I close, I would like to open up the prayer doors of the blogging world. I would like you all to pray for my friend and colleague Daniel Smith (age 34) . He is a nurse practitioner who works in the same office as i do. A few months ago he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on his tongue. Originally he had a fair prognosis of a 40-60% cure success rate. Recently he was basically given a 0% medical cure rate as new scans showed his cancer had metastasized to bones and lungs. Without a Miracle from our Savior the doctors have given him a probable 6-9 months. He is a fellow believe and amazing testimony to the peace and love of Jesus. If you have some time here is his blog: http://patdanielsmith.blogspot.com/ I can assure you if take time to read his blog you will be blessed. He is a great guy and I know he would covet your prayers.
