Don't forget to get your Breast Checked!!!

I know that everyone has heard it over and over. Check your Breast once a month and let your doctor know if there are any changes. Once your 35 get regular Mammograms.

My younger sister, who is 28, found two lumps(the size of golf balls) this week and is scheduled to have a biopsy next week. We are praying for her and her little family. It was a wake up to me to be more diligent about my health.

Food Storage and Family Preparedness.

On Saturday, our stake had a preparedness fair. While I am excited to learn more about food storage and how to be prepared for whatever may happen in the future, I am overwhelmed by it all and not sure where to start. Do I start with the basics for cooking or do I start with canned food? How much do I get? Help, WHERE DO I START??? Does anyone have tips to help with food storage or emergency preparedness?

First tooth.

It is amazing how fast time flies. It seems like only a short time ago Grace was getting her first tooth and today she lost her first tooth. She has been playing with it for a week now and has enjoyed teasing me and watching me squirm. This morning she woke up and told me that her tooth came out. She was soo excited.


Now she is looking forward to the tooth fairy coming!!!!

So excited..

I am so excited. I just found out that one of my little sisters, Katie, is engaged. I cannot wait to get all the details. I think that the Jake is just wonderful for her and we are so excited for them.

The ruling was..........

The termination went through. On Feb 27,2009 we will have the adoption court date! It feels so surreal right now.

Court

In just under a week Beau and I will have our first court appointment. Next Monday we will find out if the judge will allow the parental termination to happen. It is something that we have planned since Beau and I were married. I just cannot believe that it is here. We have no idea what will happen or if it will contested. I have to admit that I am nervous. We were told that they have not had good luck with terminations for the judge that we were assigned. If you could, Please keep us in your prayers.

If all goes well, we could be four weeks from having Grace adopted and then we can have her sealed to us. The feelings I have had not having her sealed could be put to rest and my family will be complete.

What a slow month.

It is hard to believe that I have not posted in over a month. I wish I could say that things were sooo busy here that I did not have the time. However the truth is that not much happened. Beau still has a job which I am thankful for each and every day. He is now Tech lead which gets him off of the phones. That makes him a happier person.

Grace is busy planning her birthday. She will be six soon and now has her first loose tooth. She hit a big mile stone in school. She can now count to 100. I am hoping to be able to upload the video tonight. She is such a character.

Clara is improving on her speech. She is attempting to try to say words and is improving on her sign language. The only down side is that if you don't know what she is signing, she gets mad at you.

As far as myself. I am enjoying each day and trying to be a good person. I have to admit Life gets stressful at times but in perspective, LIFE IS GOOD.
