Updates!

Well, it's been a while.. sorry friends. I had planned on posting a lot about our landscaping, but I didn't know it was going to be moving SO incredibly slowly! That's okay though, we really enjoy working outside together when we can. (I know, you are thinking that I'm not really an outside girl..you are right!) I'll give ya a few updates on what's been going on lately.

**First and foremost, I need my awesome prayer warriors to give my aunt JJ a shout out.. She is diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and the doctors didn't give us much to be excited about. You can read about her journey here http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jjanzaldua and if you find it in your hearts, please pray for healing, strength, and guidance for her and her family. They have very strong faith so I know God is hearing us and probably saying "Okay guys, I can hear you..give me some time here, I will reveal my plan to you, I promise!"**

*Today I went for my 6 week checkup at the tummy doc. Things have been pretty good. The meds help with most things. I have continued to have some symptoms and the biopsy they took of my stomach showed inflammation, so they sent me to the lab again this morning for another blood test. This time we are testing for Celiac Disease. If you are unfamiliar, here is a link about it http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001280/. Basically, if I have this..I may as well stop eating in general. I love everything on the do not eat list!! Anyway, keep my gluten in your prayers.

*As I said, landscaping is slow, but sure. We have lots of dirt (thanks Glasco and Co!) and we have the outline rockin. We still have lots of smoothing to do and a little more demo on this lovely rock wall we have before we can plant. Then it's on to the entrance and the back yard. (my husband is not excited about all of this work to be done outside..however, he refused to hire anyone bc "he can do it himself" hehe!)

*Can I just throw in that I absolutely have the most adorable nephew in the entire world!!*

*Keep my dad in your thoughts as he will be traveling home the first we of June for a while and then heading back. We are excited to see him!

*I think that's it really.. Love you all!
