My school adventure continues




I am working on getting my BGS degree from BYU. I've been doing this for seven years. I'm getting down to the home stretch. I took a history 202 mid term. Camilla helped me and encouraged me with my studying I was sad that I had to take time out of our short time together to study and take the test. I needed to take it while my brain was clear. Something about chemo make my brain slower or just different. I'm glad it is done and I'm on to the next chapters and final.
I have on more family history class then the capstone class and I will be graduating in April. You may ask how can I do so much. First off I have a priority list: Christ, family, church ( especially my Relief Society sisters), then my school. This may be why it has taken so long. I have had a few things going on during this time: tumor in my leg, tumor in uterus, two weddings, two grandchildren with one more on the way. Two sons on missions. Life is never dull. I love learning I have discovered it is one of my core values. This helps me live life happy!

A new Adventure

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. Fight this cance...

The sisters in my ward made me a scrapbook of inspirational thoughts. It was so nice I haven't read them all I'm spreading out the joy :)

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.
