More Room

     So we just got news that we have a new place to live. It will be great for us! It costs a little more than what we are paying right now but there is soooo much more usuable space. There are 4 bedrooms, an office, 2 living room areas and 2 bathrooms. I am super excited, I just wish moving were a little easier. It would be nice if you could just snap your fingers and everything would move from one house to the other but on the upside I am hoping this is move is our last for a long, long time. It is one that we won't easily outgrow since each of the kids will have their own bedrooms and a good place for them to play and watch kids movies. Everything is nice and open so it will be really nice for birthday parties, get togethers and holidays. Yup - I am EXCITED!!!

February

     Seriously has almost another month gone on by? This has been a rough month with two deaths within our families and more cancer showing up on my side of the family. The month started with the passing of my Great-Aunty Eva. She was a wonderful and kind woman that I am sad to say I never got to know very well. Distance can be a horrible thing. Then came the news that my one of my other Great-Aunts has been diagnosed with rectal cancer. Then came the news that J's cousins husband had a massive heart attack. We hoped for the best but the worst happened and now he too is gone. I never got to meet him but I have heard what a great guy he was. My heart breaks for the amount of loss J's cousin has gone through, first losing her daughter to cancer and then the loss of her husband. The same night that we heard of his passing we learned that my Great-Uncle is in the hospital and has been diagnosed with liver cancer. I am in a negative place right now with all this bad news. I am not sure how to best deal with any of it other than take things one day at a time. I sure wish they would find a cure for cancer.
     I try to remember not all about life is hard and that though it isn't always easy, life is definitely always worth living. All the wonderful small things make it worth it. I am thankful for a husband and family that love me and I am so thankful for the wonderful friends that surround me.
