Holiday Season
I am really looking forward to this holiday season. I have so much to be thankful for. I am officially another year older--I turned 28 last weekend. I have all of my Christmas shopping done for the year and I am another week closer to becoming a mother (who actually has a baby to show people instead of a giant belly).
About the time of my last blog post, in November, I found out that my mom had cancer--uterine to be exact. The solution was a hysterectomy. I don't know what bothered me more, the fact that she had cancer or that she was going to have major surgery just before becoming a grandmother. I didn't want her to miss out on anything like baby showers or holding her first grand-baby. She has since had the surgery and is now resting and recovering at home. We are still waiting on pathology reports, but I am hopeful that the hysterectomy took care of the cancer. Cancer is such a dirty word. It makes people look at you funny whether you are the one who has it or not. Anywho, back to why I am thankful. My mother is doing well and recovering quickly and we are going to have a semi-normal and quiet Christmas.
Jared and I have a healthy strong baby girl who will be here before we know it. We have good jobs and a warm home. We are so blessed and fortunate. I hope that the Lord will allow us to pass some of those blessings on to others. I hope that Jared and I will look for and find opportunities to pass those blessings on.
So for my December blog post here is wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. If you are struggling remember that all things can be accomplished through Christ -- and he is the reason for this season.

November 7, 2010
This year is rapidly coming to a close. Jared and I just celebrated three and a half years of marriage on the fifth of this month at our favorite restaurant Thai Diner. We were discussing about how many milestones Thia Diner has seen us through. We had some of our first dates there, we drove through to pick up dinner after our wedding reception, and now we are eating there with our first child (still in-utero at this point).
I hope to do a better job of keeping this blog up-to-date, but you never know. We are going to have a baby to take care of in just a few short months. (At least this will be a good place to post some photos for friends and family to see.)
