A Wild Ride, Hold on Tight

Wow, I have been really lacking in the blogging dept. As a matter of fact I have been lacking on my to-do list. I am hoping things will slow down. I am on week 10 of school.. That means I am scarcely 5 weeks away from graduating! WOO HOO! Can you tell the countdown is on??? Speaking of school.. anyone Volunteer to help me get ready for my written exam?? anyone??
My new goal for the week... Post my (Sara's) Cowboy cookie recipe and post my new recipe I made last night from my great cookbook. That is my goal to accomplish before Tuesday of next week. My other goal was no plan making for the week of spring break.. everything has gone all but planned for this week, so far so good.
Now for a little more serious side of things. The past 2 weeks have really made me reflect on life. I don't think I have cried remotely close to the time I found out my father had cancer up until now. There is alot going on in my life and I have alot to be grateful for. For the sake of certain people in my family I cannot explain what is going on. I can say that my family has been put through hell the last 2 week. It makes me extremely grateful for the relationships that I do have with certain members. The term "I would do anything for you" has taken place before my own eyes. Everyday I am amazed by the man that I have by my side. I have never had a boyfriend who has been so willing to take me in, in the condition that I was in when he met me, and love me, love my family and be so willing to give of himself. To Bryce it may have been something so small but to me it was the world. He gave a HUGE sacrifice to help out one of the most important people in my life.
Besides that and a few other things there is a positive note to this. I was able to sit down with my sister and have a talk. It wasn't a long talk and it wasn't a bad talk but I think it is on the plus side of being mended. We do not trust each other and we are a bit hesitant (on both sides!) but we are trying. Is this a step forward?? Maybe. Is it a step back?? Possibly. For right now it is just a step, later I will sort out which directions
Once again I have to say a big THANK YOU to Beckah for helping me out this week. She scheduled an appt to do a shoot (and a few others in the process!) for me as a gift to my sister since she is pregnant. I do not know if I will post these pictures for I know that these were for her and not me. If Amber (my sister) gives me the go ahead I may post one picture of her shoot with Beckah, if not I am sorry you all will miss out on the amazing talent of Beckah and the beauty that a child in the womb brings.
As for this week, I will continue to be on this wild ride until we find out the results of everything that is going on... Until then, I will be praying that prayers of others who may be concerned are heard.
