an update

So, Connor went home from the hospital today. A vascular malformation was ruled out. It seems that Connor truly does have a brain tumor. That seems just awful to write and I want to hit the delete button because it surely cannot be true. He will be home for the weekend and will probably have surgery next Wednesday.

The above picture was from last evening. Hand in paw came to Children's Hospital and this is Connor petting Prince, a sheltie! Connor's mom, Rachel, is the one holding Connor. I think Connor had me pegged as a sucker last night. I brought balloons on Monday and fed him ice cream last night. He came to me twice hoping that I would provide an escape route as a third treat. He was done with me fairly quickly once I wouldn't make a break for the front door.

Jared played that Reba song, "What do you say," on the way home from the hospital last night. He just liked the song and played it not really thinking. I burst into tears on the spot. I mean seriously, Reba, sing the truth woman.

Chorus:

So what do you say in a moment like this

When you can't find the words to tell it like it is

Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way

Let's get out of here

Oh what do you say

I am just exhausted. All I want to eat lately are french fries and ice cream. No worries, I'm still eating veggies and fruits. However, I'm sure there is a pretty strong correlation between my food and my feelings. I've learned a little bit after all these years!

So, our one year anniversary is this weekend. Sunday. We're gonna take Scout to the vet, visit baby Connor, and go out to dinner. Nothing crazy, just life. I have to work on Saturday and then I'm getting a massage. Praise the Lord. I'm so proud to have accomplished one year of marriage. And I am grateful to say that it has been exceedingly easy with Jared. Yes, relationships are work at times, but we just kinda do our thing and love being together. How cool is that?
