I can not believe another year has gone by. So much has happen in the year 2007.
Planted a Church
Bought a new house
Had a new baby!
Shaun said good bye to subbing and hello to an office job.
Shaun started school to become a teacher (watch out kids!)
I know that there is so much more but my memory is not as good a it use to be now that I am 30!
What I would like to happen in the year 2008?
I would like our life to slow down abit. Hopefully no milestones this year.
Autumn- continue to work and stay home with kids during the day. Find a partime job that doesn't interfere with our home life to much. Take my health very seriously and lose some weight. Continue going to the Mom to Mom class and play date on Thursday.
Shaun- Have sometime to rest. He is going to have a busy year with school, work, church and family. I know he can do it.
Hannah- Learning...... I think this will be the year that she will learn even more then she has learned so far. She is a sponge. Wants an answer to everything, asks tons of questions and has a very active imagination.
Ethan - milestones..... crawling, walking and talking. My baby will start to grow up :(
This it what I think will happen, but having God in our lives can change things because he has a plan and what ever is thrown our way we can handle it.

Long Two Weeks
It has been a long two weeks. I have been dealing with some health issues on my end and I have had to have some tests done. I talked to the doctor today and everything seems to be okay I just have to be checked out again in the next three months. Wondering what I am talking about? I will try to explain.
If you know me you know that the women in my family deal with cancer. My aunt has had breast cancer two times, the first time at 29 years old and again at 41. right now she is in remission. My grandmother had breast cancer at 39 and then in her fifty's she got ovarian and died soon after the diagnose. My mother died of ovarian cancer at 45. She fought it for 4 years but the cancer won. With this information I am seeing a oncologist to do preventive. My self and the doctor defiantly think it is genetic, but I am unable to be tested because my insurance will not pay and I cannot afford the test, it is three thousand dollars for the blood test.
The doctor I found is an awesome doctor he is very thorough. He scheduled me to have a mammogram and a breast MRI done. The mammogram was clear but the MRI showed a nodule in my chest. I had to go for a CT scan to have a better look. There was so much going through my head when I heard that they found something. I have been trying to prepare myself for this because there is a high chance I may get cancer someday, but after hearing the news I knew that I will never be prepared and that I just have to trust in God and also that whatever it may be that it is caught in time. My mother told me that she knew something was wrong but she was afraid and she waited. We don't know if she would have gone in earlier if it would of helped, but she said that she regretted it and for me to not take any chances. If I am unsure to make an appointment just to ease my mind. anyways.. I saw the doctor today and he said that they actually found two nodules. One in my chest and the other by my heart sac. They are very small (4mm) and to small and dangerous to biopsy because of where they are located. My tumor counts are normal so he feels that they are just to be kept an eye on just in case they get bigger then we will go from there. In three months I go back for another CT scan. Its scary but I know that I have done everything in my power to make sure I have taken precautions and will not regret or ever think what if.

Awesome God
Last week when I blogged I was talking about my part-time job ending and needing another one, also that I was not going to worry about it and just see what happens.
Well the next day I was at work and the office manager approached me and asked who the custodian is on Sundays when we have church at the school. I said I guess it would be me. She told me that by law a custodian needs to be at the school when a church meets and they are also paid time and a half. So I am now being paid for being there on Sundays, also I was told that I will be back paid for the 39 weeks that we have been using the school. Shaun and I were thrilled.
It is an awesome feeling to know that if you give it to God he will provide. I wish I would have done that with so many other things in my life it would have caused much less heartache. Guess that's why they call it growing and learning from you mistakes.
I still need to make up a little bit more money, but I know it will come from somewhere.

It's Been a While
I don't even know where to begin. It seems like ages since the last time I have blogged. I have been very busy. I am working two jobs plus taking care of the kids. I hope soon it will slow down.
I have been working for Nevada Power the last couple of months doing mini events at Costco on the weekend. It has been going really well. The job ends at the end of the month, so I am again having to look for another job. I was blessed with the NP job, it feel right in to my lap. I have been praying that it will happen again once this ends. I have given it to God. I know that it is something I have to let go of because if I don't I will worry and scramble and will end up being disappointed and frustrated. Its all his!!!!! (I repeat it to my self all day long)
I am enjoying being home with the kids everyday. They are such a blessing and I feel so honored to watch them grow everyday. Our days are uneventful for the most part. I have been going to a MOM TO MOM study at The Crossing on Tuesdays and I love it. I drop the kids off at their classes and go to mine. It is two wonderful uninterrupted hours of being with other Mothers and learning about God. We learn the tools on how to be a better Godly mother and wife. It is a great time for encouragement. I have learned alot on how to strengthen my marriage. My favorite study was Our Fathers Eyes: Seeing Our Children as He Sees Us. Its about knowing who our children are is the key to loving them as they are. It was awesome. I am so glad a friend told me about this study, it has been a blessing I was feeling so unconnected and dormant. I am back in the word and fellowship again. It's nice to look forward to something every week.
