Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I have so much to be thankful for this year...
1. My wonderful husband who means the world to me, he is so understanding and patient with me.
2. My amazing family and in-laws (2nd family) whom I love so very much!
3. My mom's recovery from her surgery; her upcoming success with chemo and radiation in IA City and her strength, perserverance and faith in this journey.
4. The gift from God, our baby boy, who will be here before we know it!
5. My Texas family and friends who have been so supportive not only the past few weeks but the years since we have moved there.
5. My job where I get to spend my days making a difference in the lives of 21 little 1st graders.
6. Our sweet little dog, Wrigley, he is a blessing and brings us so much joy.

Wow, it has been quite a week. I am leaving Iowa today to go back to Texas. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and I cannot even believe it. She had surgery to remove the tumor on Monday, November 2nd and is now in rehabilitation to regain her strength back. Radiation and Chemo will follow shortly. It is amazing how quickly your life can change so drastically. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. I am going to upload a few new pictures from my visit home and a few other pics. Thanks for reading :)
