A little of this, a little of that...

Can you believe it is time to send out Christmas cards? This year has gone by so quickly! In reflecting back on this year, our family has gone through a lot, but with the support of our friends and family, we made it through. We have so much to be thankful for!

My last surgery was done almost 2 weeks ago. I had a complete hysterectomy, which wasn't bad at all! My oncologist thought it would be a wise decision to have this done since my cancer was fueled by estrogen. My doctor did the surgery laprascopically and vaginally, and the recovery hasn't been bad at all! I had a 2 night hospital stay. The pain meds and I didn't agree so much, but after I got off of all of those, I started to feel so much better! I go for my 2 week post-op appointment on Friday. Hopefully my doctor will release me to go back to work on Monday. So that should be the last of my "treatment"! Yay....now I'm just waiting on my hair to grow! It is still really curly, although it is getting longer! It has relaxed a bit, but nontheless, still incredibly curly!

I am posting random pictures from all of our "Fall Happenings!" Enjoy!

I ran in my 4th 5K race on November 7th. This was "Racheal's Run," which was a 5K run and a family 1 mile walk dedicated to the precious life of a 2 year old who lost her battle with cancer a year ago. Her mother is a chemo nurse at the Cancer Center where I go. The Gleason's are an incredible family with such strong faith, that I admire. This will become an annual event...will you run/ walk next year to support research on childhood cancers? I hope so!

Graham finished another soccer season with CESA. He has learned so much this year and is an awesome defender! He also played goalie a good bit. We will return to soccer in February for the spring season!

Fun with friends...We had a day of fall fun with the Columbia's, Will and Meredith!

Thanksgiving visit with Uncle Daryl, and his 4 month-old puppy, Major! Graham and Mallory Kate ADORE Uncle Daryl! We can't wait to see him and Liza and Kathryn in a few weeks for Christmas!
