Interesting few weeks.....

I know I haven't updated my blog in what feels like forever... but there is good reason for it I promise!

So two weeks ago I was getting everything set up for my mom coming down to visit, when she leaves me an offline message on facebook telling me she had something important to tell me. I was thinking something had changed with her flight details but something was niggling at me telling me it was worse than that.... and then she told me my uncle had passed away.

My Uncle Jr. was a good man, we had our differences just like every family but still he was my uncle and I loved him...  I remember Thanksgivings and Christmases at my Mamaw's house where Uncle Jr would be the one to carve the turkey or ham since he was the oldest.... and he always used to get a smack or shouted at because he would eat more of it than he served.... and he always wanted to use his fingers to serve it instead of a fork which my mamaw hated.... I remember him putting me on this big branch on a tree in front of my mamaw's house and pretending like he was going to leave me there because I couldn't get down by myself.... and I remember him coming down to my house to target practice with my daddy, and I got to be the one to put the targets up and take them down, as well as I got to watch and sometimes help them load their guns.... good times..... Now he's up in heaven with my daddy, as well as mamaw and papaw to keep him company and I know he's watching over us... just like they are.

My mom came down on Wednesday afternoon and we spend the week going shopping and making fruit salad as well as working on the kitchen, its coming along very nicely now the cabinets are all up almost and all thats really left is the countertops and tiles.... hopefully it wont take much longer to finish I cant wait until its all done!

Today I went to the doctor.... and he said he thinks I MAY have Endometriosis..... which is a scary thought, and I have an ultra sound scheduled for tomorrow morning to check it out, so please avid readers keep your fingers crossed for me that I dont have this thing!
