Default Catching up...
Hi All!

Sorry I haven't been around lately...it's been a hectic few weeks. I wish I could say that was in a good way. I could go into a lot of details, but the highlights (lowlights) are...

  • Both Gabbi's hamsters died within 2 days of each other for no apparent reason.
  • My husband was in the hospital the entire week of Christmas.
  • I found out I have skin cancer...but from what I'm told, it's the kind I would want to have...assuming anyone would want to have cancer of any kind.
Silver lining...
  • We did get to spend New Year's Eve with just a few family and friends which was nice.
  • And my sister is doing very well since her surgery.
  • The three of us have been out of school and off work because of the snow and cold here, so we've been able to spend some time together.
So, I guess the long and short of it is...my family could still use your prayers and positive thoughts. And I'll try to be a bit more visible here on the forum!

Happy New Year All!!

Mel,

Hoping for a much better 2014 for you and your family. I just recently heard that they have a cure for skin cancer. Hoping that your husband is feeling better, and you are cured.

Prayers...
Barb
