Update again!
Well I still had some trouble with computer and it is not complete yet, but I can go online and do some stuff. I have got a facebook now under Idena Young Browning. It is going well and I like it. I am going to post this blog on there too. My husbands Mom has had a hard year so far. She broke her leg then developed MRSA in it and while in the hospital being treated for that she got a perpherated colon and had to have emergency surgery on Monday July 20th. We also had Nick's wheelchair ramp break and had to go get it fixed just so we could get to the Hospital to see her. It is never simple with us, but amazingly it always (almost)works out ok. Oh' and my other vehicle is in the shop too. We had reservations to go camping this weekend, but now we feel guilty to go and not be able to get to the hospital if needed. Not sure what to do there we had friends going to. We could loose our first nights rent, but that is not that big of a deal we just hate for our friends to be out too. We did recieve a mini horse this last week as a gift from my step-dad for our kids. She is very cute we really like her and she is way cheaper than a dog believe it or not. Her food was only $6 for a 50# bag and she only eats about 2 cups a day and maybe 1 bail of hay a month if that. She doesn't need shoes but we are going to have her nails trimmed for $40 I did hear of someone cheaper though. We also have chickens and they are very fun to watch. They are very tame because they were hand raised. When I go out to feed them they run up to me at the gate. We have also had quite a critter problem we caught 3 racoons, 1 possum, 2 cats and 1 skunk all in the past month. Well I guess that is enough on normal stuff I will try to post another chapter soon.

Hi Idena. I know that you will not remember me from junior high as I only attended North Posey for part of the year. I went to elementary at both South Terrace and North Elementary also. My maiden name is Anna Sanders. The reason I am writing is that I happened upon your blog, "The Browing Bunch" while playing on the Internet. I had been googling "kids" I went to school with just to see what people were up to after so many years. I viewd Facebooks and saw so many familiar faces. What strikes me most is that when I saw your Facebook on someone else's page, it was your name Idena Young-Browning that jumped out. I smiled to myself immediately and thought, 'Idena and Nick did get married!' You see I remember the two of you as a couple. Nick was in my grade and had previously dated Stacy Reutter whom I was friends with. There was just something about when you and Nick were together that even I as just an eighth grader could recognize as something very special. It truly was like you were a match made in heaven. When I saw your hyphenated name I just imagined that you and Nick married young, had a bunch of kids and were living happily ever after, you know white picket fence and all like the boy and girl next door couple! What I was not expecting was to read about Nick's injury and you all as a follow live your lives with altering change. I just could not believe it. I was very moved by your story and would like to ask you for the privilege and honor of sharing it with the world. I am a novice writer and previously worked as Editor of a very small newspaper for nine years. Currently, I am an insurance agent but still like to write from time to time. Your story needs to be shared and I believe would be truly inspirational. There are very many aspects and ideas running through my head...so many stories, yours, Nick's, his family and yours, your children, daily life, unexpected challenges and joys, parenting, etc. If you are willing, I believe this would be a very rewarding endeavor for us both as well. I had planned on trying to freelance to magazines and I think that a feature story in a Reader's Digest format might be suitable. I believe a book/novel might be better suited but I do not know if I would be up to that kind of a challenge. Most stories I have written are newspaper human interest stories. I don't know if I could do justice in a book or if I would be capable. This will likely be a very long arduous journey that I hope you would like to take with me. You and your family are an inspiration. It is amazing to me that after all these years that a small ember that started out as young love still burns in your heart for you and Nick after all these years. I am very happily married for 12 years (have been with my husband for 14 years) and we have an 11 year old daughter who is the joy of my life. I am a Christian who endeavors to live a good, happy life and be kind to all I encounter. All God's blessings and love to you and your family! Please send me a note if you'd like to correspond. If you are not interested in letting me help you tell your story, I will totally understand as it is a very personal nature. I just thought that you might like/want a helping hand.
Most Respectfully,
Anna
I truly wish I had taken the time to edit my comment for errors. Please don't let my haste in sending you a note be reflective of my writing abilities! :)
Take care,
Anna
