Welcome back to Houston

Ignorance is bliss! Although I'm excited to be back in Houston and to get the ball rolling again, there is a little knot in my stomach because now I know answers are coming and treatment decisions will need to be made. This last week at home has been bliss! I was so busy living that I barely had time to remember that I'm beginning a battle.  Now it's back to work and time to put on my big girl pants and face this thing! Each day this week we should get another small piece of the puzzle. Tuesday's procedure will tell us the path that will need to he taken to whoop this! My mom's tag line lately has been, "you can't go over it, you have to go through it." And so I will. Don't worry, I'll be armed with positivity, friends, family, and of course green veggie juice!
So here we are in Houston again and it almost feels like we never left! These streets feel so familiar! I'm super close to putting on a cowboy hat, saying "yeee haw", and calling myself a local! We moved through the city with ease this afternoon and even ventured off our normal route! We're crazy! After a nice dinner and a quick trip to Kroger ( that's the grocery store Florida people), we've settled in to the hotel for the evening. Good thing because the temperature dropped within an hour and it's freezing outside! This Florida baby is shivering! Before you make fun of me I want you to know that the low is like 40 something tonight! Burrrrrrr! Time to bundle up and watch the Oscar's! Goodnight!

Hurdles:
- leaving Brandt and the babies yet again! And on Riley's birthday to boot!

Jewels:
-a smooth, safe flight
-the weather change, although freezing, is refreshing
-my rock star of a husband who makes it a little easier to be away because I know he has everything under control on the home front. love you babe!
-the automatic save function on this tablet! I just had a panic moment where I thought I lost this whole post! Whew!

My everything!

I'm glad you have to run the show;) I'm remembering the day before you were going to head to Washington with CO Taylor bunch you were a little stressed about leaving your wee ones, but still had faith your hubby; ) what a good feeling. You did not end leaving you got sick with the flu I think; ( but you were back. Just like you will be back soon because not only the kids miss you so do the parents;) still pray ING
