So, last night I got a phone call from my Mom while I was making dinner. She told me that my sister Tessa (who lives in San Fran, CA) has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer... and will need to have her Breast removed ASAP. Talk about shocking! I mean, my sister is 37yrs old.. I'm just overwhelmed with all sorts of emotions.
My Mom didn't know any details.. like if she would need Chemo or Radiation therapy or anything else. I do know that she's going to need more testing of all her lymphnodes & she needs her other breast tested as well. I haven't talked to my sister yet.. but that's OK because I think she's just in shock & scared and trying to deal with the news the best she can. I did text her though and let her know that I'm here & to plz call soon so we could talk.
It's so surreal to realize that your own sister has Cancer. I sit & think about her husband & daughter- which Tatiana isn't even 2 yet! It's just scary. I'm hoping & praying that it hasn't spread anywhere else, and that Chemo will help after they do the masectomy. It's also very scary because my Grandmother had Breast Cancer & had a masectomy performed as well... and they told my sister that it's genetic.

Anyways... just wanted to air that out. Get some of my thoughts out..
On a good note: My best friend Kathleen found out she's PREGNANT again! How fun is that?? I would LOVE to be pregnant again... We would love to have a little boy hehehehehe!! Have a Jozef the 4th running around.. OMG.. lemme stop! LOL!!!

Alright, well.. I'm glad Mikayla reminded me that I had this thing (aka blog).. or it would've completely slipped my mind! I need to bookmark it LoL! I'm off to wash some towels, clean up the living room & maybe.. just MAYBE.. get a shower =)

Alright, so I haven't blogged in well over a year! So much has changed... Where to begin?!

Let's see..

We are in FL now! We have been here since March '09, and Jozef is one of the Recruiters for St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra, FL. It's been tough! Not gonna lie! I know basically NO ONE here besides Joe's parents in JAX Beach... and I'm just lonely a lot because Jozef works like 530am to 9pm. But I'm hangin' in there, trying to make the best of this utterly crappy situation aka Recruiting Duty! =/
Jocelyn turned 2 in July '09 =) We had his parents here & my parents came down to celebrate! She had an awesome time! Her birthday theme was Elmo and I made her this awesome Elmo cake!
Then in September '09, Jozef & I had our *big* wedding with all our family & friends. It was so great & so much fun!!! Of course we had little glitches here & there, but in the end we got everything figured out & everything was fine! I miss planning our wedding soooo much =( It's so much fun!
Then came Halloween & Jocelyn went as Cinderella... she's really getting into all the Disney Princess stuff! She loves playing dress up & being all girly.. she absolutely LOVES to dance! Next up would be Thanksgiving, and we spent that here in JAX, FL with Jozef's family. The food was so yummy! =)
Christmas '09 was absolutely fab! Although we HATE traveling on Christmas Day! We keep telling ourselves that this year (2010) we're going to San Fran, CA to see my sister instead of having 4 Christmases in 1 day! LOL! First we opened presents here @ our home, then we opened presents at Joe's parents' house.. Then we made our way up to St. Simons Island, GA to open gifts with his Grandparents, and after presents there & eating dinner we got back on 95 & went straight to Hilton Head to settle in with my parents! Our Christmas Day starts at 7am and normally doesn't end until 10pm... craziness! There has to be a happy medium somewhere, and hopefully this will be the year we find it. =)
So we came back to FL on Dec 30th and Kathleen & Alexa came here too for New Year's.. which was so much fun! We ate great dinners out & watched the Ball drop! I'm so glad she actually came down here TO SEE ME! =D

So now it's 2010 and we're back in the Recruiter world routine! Ugh.. it was so nice to have Jozef on leave & just to spend time with him.
Anyways... since this is all caught up, I'm gonna get going because I just remembered that I forgot to put the roast in the slow cooker *DAMMIT* hahha.. I will update this more frequently, promise!!
