Still waiting....

Hurry up and wait. It has been a month since I went to have my routine mammogram and all of this craziness started. I have had my ups and downs, my crying moments, scared moments, but have also have had moments of sheer happiness that have taken my mind off of things for awhile. This weekend was one of those moments. My baby girl turned 21 on Friday and Mark and I met her and Jared out for dinner. We had a great time! Saturday we went to the mall to purchase a new computer so I can finish up my doctoral work without the fear of our old computer calling it quits half way through my dissertation! On Sunday we went to Rochester with my mom and dad as well as Mark's mom and dad to have dinner with Paige and Jared and Jared's parents. We were celebrating both kids birthdays. Their wedding anniversary will be October 28th, Paige's bday October 30th and Jared's bday October 31! Good planning on their part! Jared's mom and dad invited us all back to their house for dessert. By the time I got home yesterday, I was exhausted so I finished up the laundry, sent a few emails, soaked in the hot tub and fell blissfully asleep. So, even in the midst of waiting, I am finding peace. I am finding joy. I am moving forward. I see the surgeon on Wednesday, so hopefully I will have an update and these feelings will continue.
