Hallelujah!

The mass on Kim's liver is not cancer!

Thank You Lord!

Update

The doctors have told my cousin, Kim, that the mass on her liver is very small and that there is only a 5% chance it is cancer.

Thank you Lord!

I'll keep you updated as I find out more information and will be putting up some new pictures from the holidays soon, I hope...

Please Pray...

for my cousin Kim. She recently found out she has a mass on her liver. She and her husband Teddy also just brought home two twin two year olds from Russia that they recently adopted. They do not know what the mass is, thats the next step. Please be praying that it is simply an abscess or benign tumor.

Thank you!

Ya, today just really sucked in general. It started with a journalism test that I was late for and didn't even know I had to take so I was completely unprepared. Then there was the trip to the dentist where I found out I have to get 7 cavities filled AND have my wisdom teeth pulled. Then there was the slowness and drama of work and then the coming home to find out my cousin has a mass on her tumor.

Good thing there's always tomorrow and I can make today end by doing something I love: sleeping.

Good-bye Wednesday November 28, 2007.

You really suck.

Thanksgiving

It was a good one. There were thirteen of us for dinner yesterday: my parents and sister, grandmama, aunt and uncle with three cousins, and my Aunt Lynn and two cousins. It was quite a feast with turkey and ham, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, gravy, butter beans and corn, rolls (about 90 of them...) and pie! There was a pumpkin pie, chocolate chess pie, cherry pie and a Kahlua pie. Seriously good times people, seriously good times.

It was great seeing my Aunt Lynn and two cousins, Andrew and Carly. I haven't seen Aunt Lynn since I was christened at 6 months old and I've never met Andrew and Carly, who are twins and my age. They live relatively close too so I can go and visit them and they me.

Of course there has been a lot of shopping, first at Kohl's and then today Melissa bought a new cell phone so I now have her old one which is an Envy or something like that. Whatever, it has a full keyboard which is pretty spiffy. We also saw Bee Movie today and it was cute. It was a lot like Toy Story in the sense that it was enjoyable for both kids and adults and that it was completely void of reality. Good times.

Tomorrow is the big Berry (mothers side) Bash at a country club in Richmond to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll be seeing A LOT of people there I haven't seen in a long time or have never met. More good times.

Then Sunday and Monday will be spent in Washington D.C. seeing the sights and Tuesday the family goes home.

What a week this has been! Be ready for more pictures and details of all the funness to come!

Pictures!

They're here...

My family is here! They arrived Monday about two hours later than expected because of fog in Chicago but they got here. We had a nice relaxing evening on Monday. Then Tuesday I gave Mommy and Daddy the grand tour of the university which is gorgeous right now because of all the changing leaves. When I got back to Grandmama's Melissa and I went shopping and then Mommy, Melissa and I headed to Paige's for some Grey's Anatomy. Today we did some serious sleeping in and then went to Ukrop's for lunch and Kohl's to do some shopping. In about an hour we'll be going over to the Blue Heron for dinner and then tomorrow is Thanksgiving!

I love holidays...

The Countdown Continues...

My family will be arriving at the airport in seven hours! Yes! I am so excited to see them and so thankful that we're close enough to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving together. I love the holidays, especially the no homework part!

I have so many things to be thankful for but I'll have to name them after I study for my Greek quiz...

OMG!

My family's flying in tomorrow!!!! I can't believe its already the week of Thanksgiving and that my family is flying in tomorrow. Time has been speeding past. Before I know it the semester will be over and I'll be back in California for Christmas. Yes!

Of course, because my family is coming I have a huge workload. I think my teachers are plotting against me... I am currently 2,000 words into a 3,000 word essay on West Side Story which is going well but, I have a test in Journalism tomorrow morning on a book I haven't finished and a Greek quiz which is never easy no matter how hard I study. *sigh* Such is the life of a college student. But, have no fear! I have tea and Krabby Patties so I'll be good.

Hurrah for caffeine and sugar!
