It Has Been A While, but we have GREAT news!!!

Hi all. It has been a few weeks since I have posted. Sorry to all those who are faithful readers. A lot has happened these past few weeks. Jordon and I have an adorable little niece. We also had family pictures taken on my side of the family. It has been a few years since all my siblings have been together. It was crazy but fun. Here are a few of the pictures:

Oh, too cheesy

I love this picture of my parents. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this picture tells the story of my parents lives.

My how this family has grown in just a few years!!!


Jordon also finished his first semester of college, and after a TOUGH semester, he aced his veterinary medical terminology final. I don't know who was more excited, me or him. :) He starts again next week! On for another challenging semester. :)

I have been busy job hunting and trying to figure things out for nursing school. I have also been crocheting A Lot. It seems like almost everyone we know has either just had a baby or expecting a baby. I have made several sets/items, in fact, I have also sold a few items too! Here are a few pics of my recent projects.

Below is an ABC afghan. I don't know how well it shows up, but if you look close, the whole alphabet is stitched throughout the blanket.


And now to our Great news: Jordon had an MRI earlier this week and today we met with one of the doctor's to discuss the results. The MRI showed that his tumor has shrunk!!! We are so happy to hear this because Jordon is off of the poison chemo and on the Avastin only, and this course of treatment is working. We will meet with the doctor again in 4 weeks to chat more. Also, Jordon's counts looked great. They were all pretty much in the normal ranges!!!! HAPPY DAY!!!! We love you all and hope you all enjoy conference this weekend!!!!
