Just an update. Yesterday I went to the doctors for my follow-up appointment after my surgery and I am officially cancer-free. All nasty bad cancerous cells were removed with laser-gun...haha. I should stop joking...
in all seriouslness.
I am fine. I am healing. I am crossing my fingers that this stuff doesn't want to invade my body ever again.
Thanks for the thoughts,
BW

Friday, May 25
Greg and I went to Troy to visit the parents and to attend the 150th anniversary of Trojan Lodge 306. My dad is worshipful master of the masons in this lodge and they were hosting this anniversary party in which my dad was in charge of. Greg and I were the photographers. But the weird part is that Saturday morning out of nowhere I woke up with no voice. I hadn't been sick and I wasn't sick but somehow I didn't have a voice. The anniversary party went off without a hitch, and the pictures turned out awesome.
Saturday night, Greg and I went to my brother Donnie's and my other brother and his wife came over. My brothers live over the field from each other so it makes it nice for all of us to get together. My sister-in-law Katie is starting to show big time. They found out they are having a girl....yippee....
Sunday Greg and I went out to the farm and went fishing....I swear it's the new cool thing to do. He caught at least 10 little fishes...and I caught....NOTHING. Fish don't like me. All in all, it was a fun weekend. I never got my voice back. Even now as I sit here writing this...I still have no voice. Finding ways to communicate without using ones voice is difficult. This week I have my pre-admission testing. I am a little scared. or maybe worried. I also have an appointment for a second opinion on the same day as my testing. Who knows....maybe somewhere along the line, some doctor made a mistake.

Thankful
So today while I was working with my client, this adorable little 7 year old, I started thinking about all the things I take for granted. So I decided to write what I am truly grateful for:
a home with someone I love
animals to keep me company
too much food in the refrigerator
a good paying job in my field
going to work with the man I love
having 'things' to complain about (when i KNOW i don't need them)
a good life
toilet paper
wireless internet
a grill for nights like tonight
men who are strong enough to cry
men who dare enough to be themselves
Most of these things don't mean a single thing to anyone but me, and some of them sound down right ridiculous, but its what I am thankful for this very moment. School is sometimes too much, but its still worth it. My job is overwhelming at times, but the little guy who is benifiting from what i do, keeps me going. Sometimes Greg and I don't see eye to eye, but that's what inspires me about him.....we can see things differently and learn from each other. I am especially thankful that Greg and I found each other....
i love you babe.

Running on Empty
So we are one day away from the end of February. When did that happen? The past couple of days/weeks I have been feelings pretty out of it. I feel like I am just on autopilot. I am just going through the motions of going to school and working. I feel pretty bad about that. Not only am I suffering in a way, but I am making it pretty hard for my client if I am not really 'all there'. It's that time in the school year where everything is due and mid-terms are happening left and right. Do I know all the information I need to for each mid-term and how will I not get them confused?I feel like I am so wrapped up in myself and making it through (spring break starts MARCH 6th) that I have nothing left to give to my friends, my family, even Greg. I don't mean to be like this, but I am debating whether or not I will make it through and I feel like I have to just cut myself off for a bit. By no means am I complaining.....I am just worn. I cannot wait for Florida....I am going to seriously enjoy my vacation.

A Memory
Today is my grandfathers birthday. Or was his birthday. It's a questionable, isn't it? He passed away almost two years ago (April 5). So it still is his birthday, he's just not celebrating it here on earth. Either way, it's one of those days for me. It's weird that throughout the year there are just certain days that always seem to have some sort of connection. I am hesitant to call my grandmother. She is in Florida, where they both would normally be this time of year. I want to call her, but what do I say. Last year she celebrated Pappa's Birthday with very good friends down there. And last year I called. I should call. I am going down to see her in a couple of weeks. I leave like the 7th of March, it will be nice to get away from this cold, icky weather.
So like I said before, today is a hard day for me. I am not myself. And I don't like that. We have had the pas couple days off, and even today Shippensburg University had a delay. I have never in my life heard of a college having a delay. Very Weird. Oh well. Tomorrow Greg and I are headed to Troy. He has an in-service day at school, and since I now work at the school as well, I do not have school either....Mom and Dad have been telling us that it looks like winter wonderland out in coreyland (where the farm is) and that the snowmobiles are out. We are excited, Greg has never ridden a snowmobile before. My dad used to tell us kids stories about when he was a kid out in coreyland that when it snowed the drifts were as high as the telephone poles.
We used to laugh and think he was joking....well this morning i called my mom and it just so happens that my brother Aaron (farmer) pipes froze and broke at the house, drifts were up 6 feet covering the gate to let the calves in. I tried not to laugh. But my mom, dad and brothers were all out there digging with the tractor, trying to get the calves in and trying to stay ahead of the drifting. It's funny when you are away from it all for so long, you tend to forget what its like where you grew up.......Regardless of this day, and the mood I am in, I am thankful for Greg who keeps me sane and grounded. Those are the things that are important in my life.

Never Alone
May the angels protect you, trouble neglect you and heaven accept you when its time to go home.
May you always have plenty, the glass never empty, know in your belly you¹re never alone.
May your tears come from laughing, you find friends worth having, as every year passes, they mean more than gold. May you win and stay humble, smile more than grumble, and know when you stumble you¹re never alone.I¹ll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn¹t goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you¹re never aloneI have to be honest
As much as I wanted I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won¹t blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You¹re never alone
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You¹re never alone
I love you.
