Hello everyone. Today has started off a little shaky...Will is teething and so he's a little ouchy. He didn't nap for very long so this afternoon should be interesting! Will had a play date yesterday with his little friend Isabelle. He was a little ouchy but overall we had a nice time. Isabelle is such a doll and I really enjoy visiting with her mom Melissa.

Well it is starting to get close to moving time. I know June will sneak up on me so I am trying really hard to stay on top of things. I have already contacted a realtor in Alliance and she has emailed me a lot of homes to review. There were quite a few that I thought would work for us so after I get back from my trip to Chicago the first part of April, I am going to make a trip over to Alliance and start looking at houses. I don't really think we will have a hard time finding something that fits our needs within our price range.

Now...onto selling our house. After receiving three different estimates on painting our house, we have finally made a decision and they will be starting Monday! I am so excited about getting the house painted because I know it will really help our resale. We have also decided to redue our gravel drive and 10 tons of gravel arrives Monday. We have already selected a realtor from a referral we received from our friends Joe & Melissa. I plan on contacting him Monday to get things rolling. I want to be all set to have the house listed by the first of April. I would really love it if we could move the beginning of June right after school ends so that we could have all summer to get settled.

Bill is still plugging away at his disertation and will be all finished by June. I know he can't wait to have this obstacle behind him. It is amazing to me what a dedicated father and husband he is despite the tremendous stress he is under right now. Although he has to put a lot of hours in at school, he always makes time to help around the house and spend time with Will and me. Will and I are definitely lucky to have him!

Well, I guess that's all for now...

Praise God...I got good news today! My biopsy results came back benign. I have a Fibroadenoma which is the most common benign tumor in young women. Luckily, they can just be left alone...no surgery required. Thank you all for your prayers. It is such a relief to have all of these tests behind me and know that for the time being I am CANCER FREE!! I can't even believe that I am approaching my 1 year anniversary of the amputation. Some days it seems like I've been struggling with this for a lifetime, but on really good days it seems like the surgery was yesterday. Life is such an interesting ride!

Will and I arrived back home in Athens yesterday. Bill met us in the driveway as we pulled in...you have never seen such a happy baby. When Will saw Bill his whole face lit up and he just kept giving him hugs. He definitely missed his Daddy! Although Will and I had a wonderful time visiting family, it is always nice to get back home. Will has rebounded easily from the trip and is back on his schedule.

I contacted a realtor in Alliance today to start looking for a house. She is a friend of Bill's Mom and has been in the business for a long time. I am really excited about finding a new home. As soon as we get our house painted we will be putting it up for sale. I am hoping to get this done ASAP. Unfortunately the estimates I have received thus far have been a little too pricey for us. I'd try to do it myself -- you know me, Miss Do-It-Yourself -- but me on a ladder could be a disaster...I can barely handle stairs with this leg! I'm sure we'll find someone to do it!

Well, I guess that's it for now.

Sorry it has been a few days since my last entry but things have been a little hectic...traveling back and forth between Bill's folks and mine has kept me busy. I had my mammogram at the Cleveland Clinic yesterday. The Radiologist examed the films right then and decided to order an Ultrasound to get a better look. Due to my medical history and the look of the mass she decided to do a biopsy. I should know the results in the next few days & I'll post it. Sorry this is so short but we are finally heading home to Athens today and so I don't have much time to write. More tomorrow....
