Fun Was Had by ALL!!

    Hello friends! Did you have a good weekend? I hope you all had a chance to relax and have some fun!
    I had a really good weekend, I tried to not worry about Gloria to much and basically tried to forget all my worry's. The Cookout went really well, we had a good time and the weather was beautiful but hot!  Here's a few pictures:
Justice,Gloria,Jax and Rain

That's Anthony on left,Matthew on right

And the fighting begins!




    I took so many pictures you would be here all day looking at them and I didn't want to bore you all to death!
   Sunday we stayed around the house and worked on the yard, then we grilled out. Rick made steaks,pork chops, chicken and hot dogs And grilled veggies, I made pasta salad to go along with it. 
  My goodness Brock, Jon, Matthew, Anthony, Justice, Hayley and Gloria descended on that food and their was barely any left for Rick,myself his mom, grandma and brother! Then we went through four gallons of ice cream!
   Monday we all just kind of laid around resting and relaxing. It was nice. Really.
   Today Justice went home :( and I took Anthony back to his apartment. It's so funny when I take Anthony places, he calls me Mom, though he's only five years younger then me in physical age, mental is different.
   We just kind of adopted him into our family about fifteen years ago. He's had a hard life and is so sweet. His father is dead, his mother too. He was born 'normal' but his mother threw him off a balcony when he was a baby and since, well he's challenged but loved and loves well.
  I use to hate his mom for what she did, but hate is so hard on you and I just can't live like that forever. She was on drugs when she did it, and really probably had mental problems herself. I pity her now. And feel blessed to have him in our lives.
    Tomorrow is my biopsy, kinda nervous, not about the biopsy, but about the results. 
    On to more pleasant news, the forum is growing! We now have six new members and it's so wonderful to get to know each of them.
    I feel so blessed to have all of you in my life, and so thankful to have had you when I was down and needed help back up. Thank you all.
    Well that's about all that's new here, we'll talk more tomorrow. Until we meet again......

I Survived the Mammogram!

    Hello friends, well it wasn't as bad as I remembered it to be! Maybe cause this time I had a woman doing my Mammogram she was really gentle, now my Ultrasound on my neck hurt, I guess she was having trouble seeing the whole lump since part of it is under my collar bone.
    I won't get results til tomorrow, and still haven't gotten the results back from blood work they did.
    As you may have noticed I was in a bad place yesterday, today I'm much better. Part of it was that I talked to Intricate Knot(Knoty) and she made me feel a lot better-she has that effect- and then she got me all excited by putting up a FB fan page for Women to Women. Here's the URL https://www.facebook.com/pages/Woman-to-Woman-Forum/418857751467639
    Pretty cool, huh? Isn't it awesome to have friends to lift you up when your feeling lower than dirt?
I love having such AWESOME friends! All of you are the best!
   Every Memorial Day for the last fifteen years or so we have this huge cookout. It's an all day thing we swim, play volleyball, eat(alot!),corn toss and my favorite part is the water balloon fight! No one is safe when you have over 1500 water balloons!
   This is Veronica in 2010 when she was pregnant with Jaxton! See no one is safe! Wasn't she beautiful?
    I am so grateful to Knoty, cause as much as I love this cookout-our celebration of the beginning of summer, I wasn't looking forward to it because of the worrying about Gloria. And that's not fair to her or me.
    And I'm excited that Zach is bringing a girl with him! He made me promise not to look her up on Facebook! So not fair!
     Tomorrow is another scary day-the last day of school! LOL. 
    Tonight we're going to the High School, Gloria and Becca are getting awards- not for cheer leading. Glo say's she doesn't know what it's for- which is just crazy!
Glo and Becca in school
   This was taken during class which makes you wonder where the hell the teacher was. I'll let you know tomorrow what the award was. I guess I'll know what's going on with my neck then too.
   So for now that's it. Come by and see us on FB, you know you want to. Until we meet again.....
