I went back to the doc today...normal biopsy report...yay! I don't think anyone was ever really worried it could be cancer, but given that certain aspects of the lump pointed to cancer, we couldn't be too sure. I am glad it's over, but I am thankful for how it has changed me. There is still healing to do, so I guess it's not completely over. I took the steri strips off last night....that was probably the hardest part of the whole surgery. To actually have to look at what they did was pretty traumatic. My body is forever changed. I think I said it best when I said, "I feel like my body was invaded." So, while I have been in good spirits through most of it, I have had to come to grips with certain changes that are irreversible.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Everyone has been very supportive. I've had to miss 4 days of school in the last two weeks, so it's also helped me to continue to strive to not take my job too seriously. I've grown a lot in that area since my first year of teaching, and this experience has helped also.
Marc and I are both very excited for summer! He's almost done with school, and I'll be done May 25. Kids are testing now, and after that it's pretty much a bunch of field trips and fun. =) I am teaching 4th grade next year, so I hope to get a lot of my same kids! I'll be in our church's children's musical on May 6th. I feel good about it...amazed that I am doing it considering I still get terrified in front of people...but that just shows God's power. =) We'll let you know how it goes. =) We miss our families terribly, and we look forward to seeing them over the summer! Here are some updated photos of Aubrey...almost one already! Happy weekend!
