Good News!!

If you haven't heard yet, I had a biopsy last Thursday on a lump in my breast. I was pretty nervous, especially for the procedure itself. It didn't help that the doctor was extremely gorgeous ~ well, let's be honest, maybe it did help just a "little" bit.... :-) Anyways, I was mostly nervous because I didn't know what to expect. I felt fairly confident the outcome would be fine, and I had a blessing to calm my nervous, which helped considerably.

I rec'd my results this morning and, THANKFULLY, everything is fine ~ benign!! I'm truly grateful to Heavenly Father for this blessing. It has, however, made me more aware of breast cancer and the impact it has on many, many lives. Since our family doesn't have a history of breast cancer, I honestly haven't ever thought about it too much ~ and I'm sorry for that. Since I've known about the lump, a young mother of three in my ward has been diagnosed with agressive breast cancer; and of course, we know several people in Corpus that are suffering from the disease as well. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers ~ they are in mine!!!

Salt Lake

A couple of weeks ago I went to Salt Lake on a business trip. I was so excited and grateful to have the opportunity. While I was there, I got to see Sandy and the boys, minus Colson ~ he's was at BYU already. Here are a few pictures from my trip.

Sandy in her cute new kitchen. They've moved to a condo and it's really adorable!!

John ~ relaxing after a hard day's work. He kept telling us that he was going running, but I'm still not sure if he ever actually went. ~ doesn't look like it, does it?
Brandon!! My sweetheart. I'm grateful that he went on his mission, but I'm glad that he's back. He's going to BYU as well. Funny story, the apartment that he's moving into is called "Winters Quarters". Like Sandy says, Couldn't they come up with a better name???? I'm not sure I'd want to live there!!!
This is Cafe Rio. Ever since I went to Salt Lake at Christmas, I've been craving this place. So naturally, we had to go. Their burritos are awesome!!! Because of Cafe Rio, I've now found my favorite place to eat ~ Chipolte's, here in the Dallas area. If you've never been, go. Their burritos are to die for!!!
Joe getting ready for football practice......
Joe at practice. It's so beautiful and cool. Sometimes I wish I lived there.
Speaking of living there.....I'm hoping to be able to open an office for my company in Salt Lake. That would be awesome. I was thinking, if I did, we could rent an office space in that building right behind the temple. What a view I would have every day. I think I could handle that!!!

Jonas Brothers Concert

Okay, I know these are old pictures, but I've been a bit occupied with the whole Twilight thing lately. A few months ago, Holly, Tara, Aubrey, Ella & I attended the Jonas Bros Concert. It was awesome!! I really enjoy doing stuff with these "girls", they're hiliarious....both the young ones and "older" ones. It's so nice to have family nearby. I don't get to see them near as often as I would like, but I know that they're here, only minutes away, and that gives me peace!! I plan on going to the Plano Balloon Festival on the 19th with Joey, Holly & the girls ~ I'm totally excited for that. In all the years I've been here, I haven't gone to that event yet, and I've always wanted to. Can't wait to post those pics!!

Ella looking through her $10 paper binoculars

Aubrey ~ her face when the Bros. finally came out

Just looking cute

Like I said, looking cute

Girls' Night out.....
