WHOAH!!!
| Wow, I've sat here for about 3 hours now, updating this blog. My apologies to everyone that it went so long without an update. Things here have been a tad bit busy as you can see.....that is if you have taken the time to quite literally scroll all the way down the page. Tehehehe. I actually had to go into the blog settings to increase the number of entries that appeared on the front page so that you all didn't have to go digging to catch up on everything. Things here are going beautifully. As most of you know already, my mammogram and ultrasound all showed nothing...so we aren't worried about the lumps anymore and rather are just watching to make sure that they don't grow or make changes. And for those of you that have heard about the horrific pain I experienced during my yearly, we have spoken to the doctor after he received the ultrasound results of my abdomen and it would appear that the culprit is my uterus....apparently, my abnoxiously large uterus. So, I am going in next Friday for another exam and discussing the options with the doctor at that point. It seems as though a hysterectomy might be the order of the day though. While that isn't something I really want to have done, I think we are all okay with it if that's what is needed. We're keeping our fingers crossed for other options though. We can't believe that Christmas is almost here. After this week, Jeff and the kid's only have one more week of work and school and then we are officially on Christmas break. We are super ready though......despite the terribly cold weather! Yes, yes, winter seems to have finally settled in once and for all. I am thankful for one thing about that though. We are no longer having to alternate between the air conditioner and the heater throughout the day! YAY! We do so wish that everyone in Oregon could be here with us for the holidays though....you are all missed very much by all of us! Jeff went in for his briefing on leaving for Korea the other day. His dates to leave are set between July 1st - 9th sometime. I'm guessing in the middle of that time span as he has to report by the 10th in Korea. So, he will leave to report to Luke on April 28th, be there for almost 2 months and then come home for just shy of a month before leaving for Korea. I'm thinking of trying to get everyone here during his last stint home for a blow out bash before he leaves. I think that would be just grand! We had a really great time out last night. We met up with mom at Backdoor Theatre to see the "The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of A Christmas Carol". Wow, forget saying that ten times fast....just try saying it at all! Tehehehe. As always, the Backdoor put on a marvelous show and the food was truly great. We were surprised by seeing uncle Joe and uncle Adam there as well! YAY us! If you are local, please do stop by to see this show and support the theatre......I promise you won't be disappointed! Tonight we are all bunkering in for a family movie night. Even though Jeff kind of ruined it for me by letting me watch what is apparently the most crucial scene of all of the Star Wars movies, I have finally given in and admitted that perhaps I was wrong to shun the series without giving it a chance. So far, we have seen the first three movies and tonight we are hoping to fit in the next two, but definitely one! YAY! I can't wait. I must admit that I have become a bit engrossed with the entire series. Of course, Jeff couldn't be happier about this since we all know what a HUGE Star Wars fan he is! Tehehehe. Tomorrow night is the squadron's Christmas party at the country club. Jeff is super excited about going this year. I'm kind of so so with it. But I did get to go out shopping yesterday for a new dress and found an absolutely stunning gown, new shoes, a wrap and a new clutch to match. Needless to say, I'm set to be the belle of the ball! Tehehehe. I freely admit that this is my one "stuck up down fall"....and I do mean ONE because I'm otherwise perfect. *winks* Can't wait to get some pictures to share with everyone! The kids are all doing well in school. Well, with the exception of Kolby not being able to keep his mouth closed. Sounds all too familiar and I can't really be too terribly upset seeing as how he comes by it honestly.....it's just in his genes. Thankfully though, we seem to be back on the "green day" track rather than coming home with constant yellow's like we were most of last week! YAY! I so hate him being grounded. Maybe if he would mope around about it, it wouldn't bother me so much, but he is so good about it and doesn't give us any grief that I feel guilty! Silly me eh? Tehehehe Oh yes, and we learned a very valuable lesson ($70 value to be exact) thanks to Zoe....giving a teenager the credit card to buy a couple of books at the bookstore is NEVER a good idea (but really...how do you get upset over her buying books?)....and lesson number two from that....always have a little extra cash in your wallet! And last but not least....know anyone that has ever gotten a cell phone bill with well over $200 worth of text messaging charges from one single phone number? Well, now you know someone....thanks to Zoe! Muwahahaha. Thank goodness we added that unlimited text messaging for her a few weeks ago. |
