I'm almost finished with my first trimester of school!! Since I wrote last, I have finished another one of my books, call the Gregg Reference Manual, and made a 97 in it! I'm working on intro to filing this week and hope to get it finished up. December 18 will be my last day and then have a long Christmas break. I will start my 2nd trimester on Jan. 5, 2009!

I went to my surgeon last week for my check-up, but just got pushed back out the door. Well, not really. My dr was on-call and was called to a surgery at the same time my appointment was. So I had to reschedule for this week. I could have demanded him give me my appointment, but I am not that kind of person, and figured that the person on the operating table probably needed him a little bit more than I did at the time! Besides, they should be moved in their new office this week, and I wanted to see that! After all, I do need to see where I will be working when I get finished with school, right?!?! LOL!

Physically I am doing fine, I wish I could say the same for the mental part. Nothing major, but I do have a lot on my mind. Back a few months ago, I met a lady that I had a lot in common with. She was only a few yrs older than me, a mother and wife like me, and she teaches kindergarten (I don't). She had also went through treatment for breast cancer, actually, almost the same time I did. I recently found out that her cancer has returned and she will be starting treatments again. Her name is Christine, would you please remember her in your prayers that she make it through this round of treatments just as successful and strongly as she did the last time. Another friend of mine emailed me about a week ago and told me that a close friend of hers had just lost her battle with breast cancer, and that family has been in my prayers, as well. For obvious reasons, those things have been weighing very heavy on my heart. One last thing that I can't seem to stop thinking about, one of my dad's neighbors had a really bad accident this past week. I grew up with the Lawson's living close by. He's in pretty bad shape, from what I've been told, and is in intensive care. So, again, keep this family in your prayers! I truly believe in the power of prayer, and just because something doesn't go the way you asked for it to, doesn't meant that the prayer wasn't answered. God knows what we need, far better than we think we do!
