Awkward but great news!!

So a few weeks ago I found a lump the size of a carnival token about 1 inch below my collarbone. I went to see a nurse practitioner and she thought it was "suspicious." ( I don't know what else it would be.) So she sent me to radiology to get an ultrasound done. The radiologist said you need to go and see a general surgeon. Great! I know I am a nurse and all but surgery and me do not go together. So I went to see the surgeon and when the MA called my name to bring me back into one of the rooms I knew who she was. Dude I love this girl, we worked together for a couple of years and I was her photographer for her wedding. Anyway, we chit-chatted, she took my vitals and then left and said the doc would be in soon. Anyway, the doc comes in and says he needs to do a breast exam. Whatever, like I care, I have all ready had a baby and we all know after that, you are kind of free to the world. So I got into my gown and when the Doc came back he came with a friend, oh no wait, it was my friend. This is where the awkward situation hit. Blah, blah, blah. Needless to say, we are a bit better of friends today!!! So the Surgeon said, " I think that tumor is suspicious and I need you to come back so we can do biopsies." "Oh wow", I thought, lets see so in the last 10 days, I have been opening my gown to 4 docs and I get to come back again! Anyway I came back and had 6 biopsies done and no my friend was not there this time, just another girl. Anyway, I was supposed to call the office to find out my results in two days. I called and they transfered me to someone who had authority to tell me my results. She asked for my info. and then said, " Ummm actually, I'm going to have the surgeon give you a call personally so he can give you those results." Yep, I freaked. Great I thought I have cancer. And then I did the best thing possible, I finished my work day where I go visit terminal patients who have cancer. ( It was horrible) Then I started to think positively. Hey, guess that means I can stop working and stay home. Ha ha ha. Anyway, the doc and me played phone tag until the next day when he called me on my work phone. What great news... I felt to relieved...No signs of cancer or precancerous cells, the tumor is just made of fat and that means no surgery!!! So now I have to hit the gym because I not only worry about the fat below my waist I get to work on the fat above my waist. He he!!!

Happy Birthday Bub!!!

So my hubby is now 27 years old!! He was really busy on his birthday so we had a really quick B-day party for him at midnight. Hailey loved the anticipation. Her favorite present to her Dad was a super man card. And when you open it, it plays music. She thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Best buds-just being cheesy!
Yes, Bub's cupcakes are pink and they even have sprinkles on them. Hailey planned the party.

Hailey had listened to Bub's B-day card so many times I thought it would run out of batteries before he even got it. Hailey had the song from the card memorized and she played it on her pretend flute, ( part of our vacuum that she put circle stickers on and made a flute)! The two craziest people I know and love.

Bub and my Dad kind of stood out that night. he he

Last weekend we went down to visit my family and I mean the whole whole Mexican clan. There was close to 50 people in my families home. It was awesome to get to see everyone, to bad I can't really talk to all of them. My Mama Tere and Papa Hector came to visit. We wish we could see them more often but we are happy for the moments we do get to have with them. My Grandpa kept talking to me in Spanish and I would just smile and laugh because I have no clue what he is saying. Hailey of course thought she could speak Spanish so she didn't have any problem. Kids are awesome- she didn't think that there was a problem with a language barrier, she always got her point across.

Wow time is flying. My brother Sam leaves the MTC to go to Columbia in 1 week and big news..... My brother Bruce got his mission call. He is going Spanish speaking to Monterrey, Mexico. I'm so proud of him. I have awesome brothers.

Today in church we had the primary program. So the kids are all taking their turn saying their lines with the help of their teachers. Hailey gets up to the microphone and just starts sharing her testimony. It was pretty funny, she started out well with, " I am a child of God and I love him, I love my Mom and Dad, and I love to come to church... ( at this time the teachers are all looking at each other like umm should we stop her, and yes they should have because her testimony took at turn right then) ... but I mostly love my care bears, and babies. And please bless that we can go to Disneyland and that I can be a butterfly, mermaid, and a princess for Halloween. Amen." So near the end of her little testimony her teacher was whispering to her what to say. Hailey would not say what her teacher wanted her to until she was done with what she had to say. But at least she ended it with a shorter version of what she was supposed to say. "President Mmmmm had kids, I think 3 of them."

Oh yeah and one more thing, we went to she RSL soccer game in the new stadium. I was tonz of fun!
