First of all, apologies are in order:
It has been a long time since I have posted in my blog, other than through twitter. It has been 3 months, and I am very, very sorry. Life has definitely got in the way.
What has happened? It seems like everything.
Perhaps the most exciting thing for me as an individual that has happened recently is that I have continued to take my registration test. On Tuesday, June 30, I will take the last one of this first (and hopefully last) round. Out of 7 tests, I have passed 5, I am waiting on the results on one, and like I said, I’ll take the last one on Tuesday.
Isabelle continues to grow like a weed. She has a vocabulary of about 15-20 words, and is the picture of a normal toddler. I am very proud of her accomplishments, even when they cause me problems, such as her desire to climb on everything right now. However, being a normal toddler also means that we have entered the realm of temper tantrums. I hope that since it appears that she has entered the terrible twos early (she’s 18 months now!), perhaps we can expect an early exit? I can only pray, right?
I am also volunteering at my church. Data entry may not seem glamorous, but it must be done, and it fits my lifestyle—I can do my volunteering from the comfort of my own home! But it keeps me pretty busy. I am the team leader, so I am responsible for the work of five other people, too!
Finally, and the hardest thing of all is what has been going on with my mom. A few weeks ago, she had some concerns and they did a screening mammogram. They asked her to come back for an enhanced mammogram and a biopsy. On Monday, June 15, it was confirmed what we were fearing: my mom was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. It appears that they have caught it early enough, but it will be a long road for her, with both chemo and surgery. Please pray for entire family as we work through this, but especially for my mom, who is pretty discouraged right now.
I will try to be better in the future to keep up this blog.
