Faith

This is just what I needed to start this crazy day off with a positive attitude! I have faith that the Lord gave me this trial right now in my life to learn and grow from it, even if I do not understand why. I will eventually. Until then, I will stop and enjoy the little more important things in life. I will count my blessings everyday, and be thankful for all that the Lord has blessed me with. For that, I will be forever grateful and Happy. I choose to be HAPPY!

About a year ago I found a lump in my left breast. We got them checked, and the radiologist said that everything was benign (Non- cancerous) and everything will be fine. He was kinda rude about it, telling me I was basically over-reacting. Well that was 8 months ago. Since then we moved to Phoenix, and the lump has gotten bigger. We had it re-checked, and that Dr. wouldn't tell me the size, but basically said "You are too young for this, you need to contact a surgeon ASAP and get it removed." I don't know what it is about Dr's, but they bother me. Only the one's that don't tell you ALL OF THE INFORMATION like this Dr who gave me the results of my ultrasound. A week later, we received a call from my initial Dr in Mesa (LOVE HIM, he tells it how it is and doesn't sugar coat it!) Apparently, it is something to worry about. They gave me my results again and said that it is a "Suspicious abnormality and I need to get it out NOW!" I know I shouldn't worry... but this is scary. Especially since breast cancer runs in my side of the family. I have faith that everything will work out according to God's will, but it's still terrifying. I have my first appointment with the surgeon on the 17th of February. Prayers would be appreciated.  

October 2013 - December 2013... I know, I'm awesome.

I know this is lame, but not having a computer for a several months makes it hard to blog. So basically this is going to be an INSANELY amount of pictures.

October - Lexington turns 1!!!! October 3rd was Lexi's birthday! Since we already had a birthday for her in Arizona, we just did a small birhday for her at our house in Rexburg.

Crying because Daddy shoved her face in the cake. 

On her birthday we went and got a free cookie at Broulims, and her Aunt Melissa bought her these two birthday outfits. Aren't they adorable? 

 Halloween! (Once again, our very lame attempt)

 Louis LOVES Halloween. Or well, used to anyway. So I bugged him for MONTHS in advance asking him what he wanted to dress up as. No answer. Then on the DAY OF Halloween he asks what we are going to dress up as, REALLY?!?!?! So this was my lame attempt at finding the first thing I could...










*NOVEMBER*
Louis got a job in Scottsdale at Vangaurd. So we moved back to Arizona Thankgiving weekend.

 We spent Thanksgiving with Louis' family. The food was delicious. =) Afterward we went to the movies to watch the new Hunger Games movie. IT. WAS. AWESOME!

Little did we know, that after just 2 days of being at our apartment it would have moldew/smoke problems. So we had to break our contract and move. Again. =( Luckily, Louis' family is pretty awesome and his Uncle Melvin let us stay at one of his houses in Gilbert until we found something closer to work.

*DECEMBER*

Even though we didnt have a place of our own for Christmas, I still had to set up our Christmas tree. Even if I did have to set it up 3 DIFFERENT times! 1st time, just to set it up. 2nd time to add more lights, and a 3rd time because I woke up to it tipped over. Awesome.

We didn;t have a whole lot to do so Lexington was very patient letting me play with her hair! 

Safe to say she liked her gifts from Grandma S! 

We were able to drive home to Colorado and spend Christmas with my family. =) 

Leah, Morgan, and Lexington. The youngest 3 girls. So fun! =) 

My awesome Fam-damily!
