Summer arrived in our house a few weeks ago when Aiden finished
kindergarten! We are so proud of all his hard work over the last year and he is
looking forward to starting 1st grade in August.
Even though it’s summer, we are still on the go! I just
finished teaching 2 summer classes, Aiden went from soccer to baseball and in
now doing swim team, business has been great at Jersey Mike’s and is keep
Jonathan busy!
Our nephew Mason came to visit and those boys wore me out!
I was
able to squeeze in a few minutes with Jackie; I took a quick trip up to NJ for a memorial service for my best friends father.
We participated in Pitt County's Relay for Life and celebrated 3 years of survivorship and walked the PurpleStride in Raleigh in memory of my father-in-law, Dan!
It’s been a busy few months but I have loved every minute of it with
my boys! We are looking forward to vacation
at Holden Beach soon so we can relax and spend some time together!
I recently had my 6 month mammogram and follow-up with the
breast surgeon; I am happy to report that the mamo was clear and everything
looks great! I see the oncologist in a few weeks and we are expecting the same
report from her. In April I had genetic testing done at Duke and even though those
results came back negative, I have decided to go ahead with a double mastectomy
with reconstruction. The doctor will place
tissue expander in during surgery and those will slowly be filled to stretch
the tissue and replaced with implants hopefully within a few months. I’ve got a bunch of trashy TV saved up on the
DVR to keep me busy during recovery, hopefully I can catch up on some other
blog posts I’ve been wanting to share as well!
