What a Crazy Life

    Still can't really believe what a crazy couple of months we've had. Some good some bad. Just crazy. Lots of moments of feeling crazy overwhelmed, but balanced with lots of fun moments with my love and my girls and realizing how lucky we are to have each other, happy and healthy.

      It all started with heading to AZ for my cute sister in laws wedding. We're so happy for her and love her cute husband. It was such a fun week. I wasn't to involved in the planning of my own wedding, just kind of showed up to that one, so it was fun to be a part of hers. Lots of making paper fans and lots of gorilla glue, but it all came together and looked great!

 Best part of the week though had to be this!
    My very best friend and her adorable family! She had her second baby just a couple of weeks before we came and I LOVED being there to see that beautiful baby girl. I wasn't able to see her first baby til she was about 5 months old, so I spent every second I could over at their house just hanging out and holding that sweet little miss. AND I found out while we were there that they'll be moving to Utah in the  fall!!! Best day ever!

   The wedding was over soon and we made our way back home and to normal life. My brother came to visit with his adorable daughter and thats when things got crazy. The first day of that trip my mom broke the news to us that my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. To be honest, I wasn't really sure how to feel about any of it. It's not terminal, he'll survive with some uncomfortable side effects, it was just a matter of surgery and hoping that  it hadn't spread beyond that. Since then the surgery has happened and went well and the results of the pathology report are back and in my moms words, not what we had hoped. I feel stuck again with not knowing how to feel. Still nothing to serious, but it never feels good in any way when the  word 'cancer' is involved. I guess it all means the chances it spread are higher then they thought and more tests will be needed. So basically a 'wait and see'.

   Last crazy news of the month, we had our first broken bone. With all the crazy things that my fearless little girl does, I am so surprised it took this long and that this is what it was. Mia slammed her finger in the car door. She got over it so quickly and went back to playing normal so fast,we didn't think anything of it.The day after it happened we even went to one of those jump places with the trampolines and foam pits and what not, not once did she even complain it hurt her. A could of days later we finally caved and took her to the doctor, even the doctor was sure it wasn't broken but recommended we get an xray. Sure enough it was broken, the radiologist even thought it might be displaced and recommended we go to an orthopedic surgeon. We couldn't get an appt for a few days, so after a few days of stressing out over her every movement and worrying about if she'd need surgery or what they'd say, turns out it was nothing but a tiny crack. 3 weeks of wearing a tiny little splint on the tip of her finger, no follow up appts, no more xrays nothing. She was fine.

     Now we're just enjoying that fact that its finally nice outside. Spending time with my cute girls and finally really starting to like having our cute puppy around now that she can spend so much time outside. Just waiting for  the next challenge to come our way.
