Lots of stuff has happened since the last post. For one, the Race For the Cure came and went, and it was successful! I did walk, along with several friends and family members. I raised a little over $600, but can't remember the exact amount without looking. It was a great day and I got some great pics, but I will have to share those another time, they aren't on my laptop. The weather was really nice, not too cool nor too warm!

Then Halloween rolled around, and that's kinda a special day to me. Last Halloween was the day I had my last chemo treatment! So I have been out of chemo for a year! I have been feeling great, too! My check-ups have all been good. I've recently had my check-ups with my oncologist and my radiologist. Nothing but good reports! I was actually suppose to have my check-up with my surgeon, but I totally forgot it! Had to reschedule, and it's coming up next week! I always look forward to that one, love the girls in the office, and not to mention he's my most favorite dr ever! Of course, I know I have to be his favorite patient! (ok, so probably not, but it doesn't hurt to dream a little, right!?!?) Anyway, I won't forget this appointment, I hope!

School. You may wonder how school is going. Well, it's still going great. I have finished my math course ending it with a 97 average. I have also been able to put my English book away, with a 97 average in that one too! Then there is also my electronic calculating course that I have completed, but can't recall what my grade was on that one, but I'm pretty sure it was in the 90's as well. Dec. 19 will be the last day of my first trimester! Only two more to go after that and I will have my diploma and be able to get me a job! In case I have failed to mention it before, I love my classmates and have made several really good friends!

Hmmmm, what else? Oh yea, Ethan got glasses! Like mother, like son! Thankfully he doesn't have to wear them all the time, just when he's reading or doing any kind of school work or coloring, stuff like that. He looks so cute in them! He picked out some gold frames and said he picked those cause they matched his skin, lol! We're also getting him a little bit of counseling, he has had a hard time coping since Doug's aunt passed away. But we are on the road to recovery, so I have high hopes!

I got to do something that was really up my alley recently. The owner of the scrapbook store in Kingsport was going to be out of town for the weekend, and she doesn't have anybody that works for her on a regular basis, so I got to work at the store for two days. I had a lot of fun and I hope she lets me do it again soon! I also taught my first class there, too! It was a lot of fun and I have another one coming up in a couple of weeks. I will have to show you pics of those projects too! I'll have to get my camera software downloaded on this computer before I can share pics.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, I'll get to see most of my family. We always get together at my dad's, and his brothers and sisters come, as well as my grandma! Sad enough, this is usually the only time I see some of them. So I always look forward to it and try to get lots of pictures! I love my family! Oh, and after we eat, Doug and I will be headed to the Smokies for a camping weekend, ALONE! We plan on getting a lot of our Christmas shopping done then. The kids will be staying with my in-laws. I'm so excited to get a few days away! Plus it will be the first camping trip that I will have a laptop to take with me! (I know, big deal, but I'm still excited!)

Ok, well, I do need to feed my children and maybe do a little homework, so...
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
