Being Thankful

I realized that we hadn't posted anything for awhile, so I thought I better give a quick update. I can't believe we are almost half way through November already. It seems like these weeks are flying by so quickly.

I am still feeling good and keeping busy with the girls. I was so grateful to be able to go trick or treating with them on Halloween. Kendal was a fairy princess and Rachel dressed up like a nerd. They looked so cute. We had a lot of fun!

Now we are starting to do our Christmas shopping. Neither one of my girls really had any wants this year, until I forced them to make a list. We also need to shop for Rachel's upcoming birthday. I can't believe she will be 12 in December!

I will get my tumor marker test at the end of next week. I will see Dr. Gupta on Wednesday, November 25 (Rob's b-day) to go over the results and next steps. The anxiety is already starting to set in. I just try to keep my mind busy, so I won't think about it too much. As always, we are hoping for good results but trying to prepare our minds & hearts if it is bad news. That is easier said than done.

I have been very emotional lately. I have good days and bad days. I have just been doing a lot of thinking about the future instead of just focusing on the present. I think all of the Christmas and Hallmark commercials have contributed to my mindset greatly:) ! I am still staying positive and so grateful for each and every day that I feel good. I will not let this get me down.

Please continue to pray for my family and me. Our strong belief in Christ and the power of prayer has gotten us through thus far. I feel his presence daily.
