3 weeks left...

I just wanted to let you all know that I have 3 weeks left!!! Then this semester will be done! I am excited to have the time to spend fishing with hubby. We are planning on doing alot of that this summer. And speaking of fishing we are fishing the DARE tournament on May 9th and hopefully I won't end up with another crankbait in my leg....

I also wanted to let everyone know that I am sorta gonna be an aunt!!! My friend Brandy just found out that she is pregnant. So the middle of December I will be able to be holding a baby again. And this is my baby fix for the next couple years since I need to finish school...

Please be sending up some prayers for Kathy. It came back that it is lung cancer. The next step is seeing what to do... It is making me face some really tough thoughts and some really tough problems in my life too. I am still trying to save to do the propholactic masectomy. I am just in one of those moods and it is making me think more about cancer....

Info on my health... Please pray for a friend....

I said that I would get back with you guys on my health so here it is…. My MRI came back fine and mammogram came back fine. I have done some soul searching and have decided to do the genetic testing. I am now going to have to save up and have enough for it. It costs $3200 and although I have double insurance I won’t be able to find out what they will cover until the test is done. I will go in and talk to the doctor in a regular room ( not an exam room ) and talk about everything and if we still decide to do the test I will go to the lab upstairs and have blood drawn. It will then be sent to the lab where they will deal with the insurance and if it is above $375 they will call and look at payment arrangements and if it is below that they will just run it. It should take between 3 and 4 weeks to find out results. If they come back positive we are going to look at having a prophylactic mastectomy and reconstructive surgery later. I just wanted to let ya’ll know and if anyone has any info I would love to know more. I keep researching and finding out new info.
I have a friend that needs your prayers right now. She beat breast cancer 5 years ago and was diagnosed with lung cancer on Friday. I will tell you more in a few days once we know more. We just need prayers to go up right now….

school and weight loss

So I have lost 9 more lbs which puts me down 24lbs.!!! I am excited that I am continuing to lose. I am doing good at the portions until last night and I pigged out on hamburgers but there is always a consequence and when I weighed this morning I saw it.... So no more pigging out on hamburgers...

I went this weekend and took a couple of tests for school. I have to pass one of them to enter the education program and then the other has to be passed by the time that I finish. I feel that I did good. We will just wait and see....

Sasha get the.....

To some of you this won't seem like a big deal but to me it is. Sasha, my adorable little miniature schnauzer, caught a mouse. We live of 5 acres and if I were to describe what is around me it would be cows, pasture and more pasture. So of course there are mice outside! Well.... there is some stuff back behind the house and Sasha was going crazy so Matt lifted up pice of sheet metal and she went in for the kill. The only bad thing is that I was at school and didn't get to see it. But I got to see the end result and now everytime she goes out she is looking for another mouse. All you have to say is "Sasha, get the mouse" and she bolts for the back and starts smelling, trying to find out where they are. So my baby is now a mouser, just like she was bred for. Now if I can just get my labrador retriver to retrieve....

Lola is gone....

I will update more later on other stuff but wanted to let everyone know that Lola is gone. They let her outside for a few minutes and she ran into the road and someone hit her. They didn't even stop. So when the looked back outside she was laying in the road. I am taking it hard since she was half mine too. That is what we always have said about her. But I will give all the health and other info updates tomorrow....
