Education Week

Heavenly Father is truly watching over me.  After traveling to India I didn't know if I felt like traveling to Utah for Education Week.  As it got closer I was feeling better and didn't want to miss it.  My parents were coming to California for my Nephew Spencer's wedding. I was able to ride back to Utah with them.  During Education Week I felt good and had good energy.  I wasn't tired like other years when I had been, but I wasn't dashing all across campus either.  Camilla came with me and made sure I took care of myself.  Now that I'm home I'm tired my body must be catching up on the rest I need.  I feel so blessed I can feel His loving hand guiding me each day.



Education Week  was sandwiched between weddings of two Nephews.  Spencer Bassett married Brittany. They were married by the ocean at Pismo Beach. Here are some photos.

 The happy couple.

Following Education Week I was able to attend my other Nephew and other son Christopher Cook to Morgan.  (if you help roof our house we will adopt you into our family also).  It was a simple and beautiful ceremony at Val's parents house.  Here are more photos.

























In between the wedding and reception we went for a little water entertainment.

A new Adventure

Image
I am starting a new adventure in my life. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is in my pancreas and liver. I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins.

The Unexpected

Image
On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
