One Year Later...

Well, I know I haven't written here in a very long time, and to be honest, I just haven't been very motivated. But today, I wanted to mark this significant date in my own life, because I am officially, as of October 14, 2011, a One Year Survivor of Breast Cancer. I'm fortunate because it was discovered early through a routine mammogram, and it was very treatable, and hopefully I will never have another episode. I am thankful to still be alive and well and surviving with very few after affects from treatment. Many others are not so fortunate and are still dealing with this horrible disease, and many are still dying from it every day. My prayers are for those that are still suffering to be cured and completely healed. As a result of this experience, I am now a devoted supporter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Thanks to the improvements that have been made due to research and better equipment, breast cancer can be detected at its earliest form and, if treated early, it is possible to be cured. So my recommendation to all women over the age of 40 is to have your regular mammogram screenings each year so that if something is found on your mammogram you will have a much better chance if it's caught early. I will have my 1 yr. mammogram this Wednesday, and next Wednesday a follow up appointment with the breast surgeon in Fayetteville. These are just standard procedure follow up visits and I don't expect them to find anything new. I am so thankful to have survived this year!

Here are a few "snapshots" from the day of the wedding.

If you would like to view all of the

wedding photos taken by the photographer,

Well, it's all over and the knot is tied!

We had fun seeing everyone

and getting to spend a few days together

laughing and remembering when...

I wish I had a picture of

everyone that was there,

but I just didn't get to take as many

pictures as I would have liked.

Thanks to my mother for helping take

some of these and other pictures.

Anyway, I had a great time,

and I hope Dan and Kim will

have only good memories

of their very special day!

Love to all!

Tomball Shower for Dan and Kim

Thanks so much to our Tomball friends for showering Dan and Kim with well wishes, gifts, and Texas BBQ ! We had a great time in Tomball, at the Spring Creek Bar-B-Q Restaurant on Sat., December 12 where a couples shower was held for Dan and Kim. They were overwhelmed with love and gifts from so many of our friends and family. Thanks so much to those who planned this shower and coordinated everything to make it happen. Thanks to everyone who came to the shower which made it so special for us.

Scenes from Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas this year in Ruston, Louisiana! Ruston of course is "home" to me and Fletcher, and the kids still remember when we lived there as a family. The Scott and Gullatt Grandparents still live there so there are lots of places to sleep! We turn their homes into "mini" hotels! And the food is always the best! I need to give a big THANK YOU to "Grandma" Vernaughn and "Memaw", my Mother, for doing all of the cooking! We had Christmas dinner twice, so you know what that means, double dressing and double desserts! Yummy!! I have never made the cornbread dressing because my Mother and Mother-in-law make it so well, and I know I could never make it as well as they can. So, I am very grateful for all the effort that goes into the shopping and preparing of these delicious meals. I usually try to help out with the dishes after dinner, and sometimes I get to help a little with the cooking, but not too much. We love spending time with our Parents/Grandparents at their homes in Ruston, and we love being all together there for a few days.
Here are a few "scenes" from Christmas of 2010!
