April 26 - Playing Catch-Up

So... where have YOU been in the last 30 days? We've been incredibly busy. Cliche, but true. Each event deserves its own blog post, at a minimum, but this is how I get terrifically behind and feel guilty, so I'm just gonna hit a few highlights and move ON. Maybe I'll take the time to expound later.

- I went to the doctor about the lump. She suspected it was fine, but was also suspicious, so I had to get a breast MRI. After arguing with a couple facilities and the insurance about the necessity of the procedure vs. a mammogram (Hel-lo, there's no breast tissue to squash between those plates!), South Bend clinic did it and found the results to be normal scar tissue. Yay!

- My friend Kem Meyer had her 1st book published! I was lucky to get a preview, and now with the hard copy in hand I'm looking forward to re-learning all the brilliant stuff she teaches about.

- We yook a major cross-country road trip from Michigan to southern California and back for the kids spring break. My sister helped on the drive out and Mom on the drive back. Fun, beautiful, memorable, and too much for a sentence or two to describe.

- Everyone but Naomi has been battling stomach flu off and on all month. Ew.

- Work continues to be just a little more than we have time to get to. I'm truly thankful to work with a growing business and great people in a difficult financial time.

- And we moved! Just a few miles north of town, but into a rental half the size of where we have been. This is a HUGE process facilitated but many fantastic friends and my mom. I'm still processing all the feelings involved with the new place so there will be more on that later. Here's one phenomenal note however: In 4 hours my friends physically moved and set up the new place to be completely functional. Slept here the first night and haven't regretted it a moment since. Ahhh... fresh starts! :)
