Happy Thanksgiving

I went to the oncologist on Monday and had my blood drawn again. My platelets were normal. So we will say lab error or body error. My guess is body error. My white count was low but it has been since chemo. Probably always will be. So I am good and I will see her in January.

As I sit here today I have so much to be
Thankful for. I thank God everyday I am here and for the strength he gives me. I am so thankful for Brian, Logan and Lindsi. They are my rock. For friends who are family and of course family. I am thankful for life!!!

We are in Houston for the holiday. Brian came in last night and will go home today to work again tomorrow. The kids and I will be here until Sunday. We have so much planned. Yesterday we went to the zoo. To tomorrow we are going to the children's museum to see Santa. We will go back to the zoo tomorrow night for zoo lights. Saturday we are going to get dressed up and go to the theater and watch little house on the prairie Christmas. While we are dressed up we are going to go to a fancy restaurant as Logan likes to call it. Somewhere probably Friday we will have to fit in chuck e cheese!

I wish each and everyone of you a blessed day! Love to all!!!

What a year so far...........

                                               Logan & Lindsi's first day of Kindergarten

I have started to write this a thousand times and just haven't gotten to it.  February 20 was my 3 year anniversary.  Hard to believe three years.  Seems at times like 10.  Everything was going good when I saw the oncologist in July she said she wouldn't do anymore scans unless necessary.  They will just keep an eye on my blood.  Then today I get a call from GYN.  I went to have a routine blood drawn because I have my annual after thanksgiving.  They said my cholesterol is high which is normal then they said I needed to call my oncologist because my platelets were low.  I got them and they want me to come Monday to have my blood drawn again there at Texas Oncology.  I know deep down it is all going to be fine.  It just sucks going through this and having the worry.  They want me to wait on the results Monday which I have no problem doing.  I want to know what is going on.  Hopefully we can say lab error.  I had a total hysterectomy the first of June.  I was glad to get it done and not have to worry about those parts getting cancer.  Plus the monthly upside!!  I think that is all medically.

We bought land in town (1 1/2 acres) in February.  They started building our house in April.  I will put a picture as soon as I upload a newer one.  We moved in the end of July.  We are loving the house and the L's have their own room now.  They shared a room at first and after a few weeks Lindsi moved out and they have never gone back.  They love having their own space. 

They started Kindergarten.  I can't believe it.  My babies aren't babies anymore.  They love school and hate to miss for any reason.  I went one day to get them early to take them to the pep rally and they didn't want to miss class.  I hope that always continues.  Logan played T-ball this last summer.  Lindsi is taking tumbling every Monday in Dublin and really loves it.  She wants to be able to do all the flips.  Logan has been playing fall soccer.  His last game is tomorrow.  He likes it and can't decide if he wants to play again next year or play flag football.  I vote soccer although some of his games this year were almost like tackle soccer.  We will leave that up to him.  I know he is going to play coach pitch little league this spring.  He can't wait. 

I am still keeping J'lee and have started keeping Gunner Mahan.  It keeps me busy while the kids are at school.  They are the two sweetest little things.  Well J'lee isn't little anymore she is 18 mos old.  Gunner is nearly 4 months old.  Someone asked me if it made me want to have another baby.  My response was NO.  I love having them but I am glad my kids are the age they are.  I don't want to start over...

That is all I think of at the moment.  My brain is tired.  I will try to be better about updating.  So much going on with Logan and Lindsi.  I forgot they had their first school play the other day.  It was about the first thanksgiving.  Logan was an Indian and Lindsi was a pilgrim.  So cute but the school thanksgiving dinner was awful.  I forgot about school food.......  I will end with that.

Love to all!!!!!
