Cancer.....One word you don't want to hear

As most of you know, my mom was recently diagnosised with cancer. Today we got the results back from the Mayo Clinic, and we know exactly what it is.  My mom has a very rare kind of cancer in her uterus. It is a sacroma, and it is pretty aggressive.  The cancer has spread to her lungs (that is how we found it when she got pneumnia) and she has a tumor attached to the back to her kidney (its 6.3 inches by 4 inches). It is to risky to take the tumor out, but they have to shrink it, because the tumor is attached to a nerve fiber bundle and is giving her severe pain in her hip. She actually has had this pain for over a year, and they could never figure out what was causing it. Now we know. But since they can not get the tumor out, she will have radiation to try to shrink the cancer, and then she will start chemo.  We know this is a pretty nasty cancer, and she is in our prayers. I love my mom so much! She was my best friend before Ethan came around, and she just means the whole world to me. I hate that she has to go through this! I hate the word cancer! It is such a nasty journey that she has to go through! Our whole family is supporting her through this, along with most of Morgan County. As the kids at the high school call her "Super Sherie" is the most amazing woman I know! I love you mom!

I love being healthy

I love the feeling of being healthy. I have always been good about exercising. I love a good run. My weakness is that I love sweets. That is horrible with Christmas coming, cause I always gain weight during the holidays, and this year I have a wedding during the holidays. I found this awesome blog that has healthy recipes. I have tried a couple, and they are really good. This week I am making popcorn krisspie treats and apple cinnamon slices if/when I need something a little sweet. I will let you all know how it turns out. The blog is awesome, you should check out some of her recipes. http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/DoingDessert

October. 2nd favorite month of the year!

My very favorite month of the year is December. My second favorite month of the year is October. I love fall. I love the leaves that change. I love the crispness in the air. I love Halloween. I just love October. Here is what we did in October.....
Engagments

Sami Jo, Ethans friend, took our engagements. She was really good about showing how happy we are.

We did have a lot of kissy pictures. Which is sort of different for me.

Ethan and  I became true Aggies!
SaraAnne, my sister, is an amazing photographer, she took Tom and Emma's pictures during Conference weekend.

She has some very cute attitude!

Mom and dad bought me a wedding dress
Alex was the Bachelor for Halloween and got all the girls roses! Such a good guy!
Football player and Alice.
Ethan and I went to my place for Halloween. We got to go with Emma trick-or-treating.
Ethan was a cute cowboy!


Ethan came home with me for Conference and bought me Chocolate.

 Every Friday night Ethan and I have date nights. In September on one of the Fridays it was my turn for date night. We ended up going with my roommate and her boyfriend, and her boyfriends little sister and her date. We went to the State Fair in Salt Lake and had so much fun! I sure do love date night!
