~Brown Mansion Calendar Shoot~

Be sure to check out this calendar when you get it in the mail (mid December)!!! Larson was photographed as Donald, the young boy. He had a BLAST! He was so excited to do this! He requested to be the June photo, but we'll see :).
One reason he was so excited to do this is that he LOVES calendars lol. We call him our "calendar boy". Ever since he was about 2 he has been facinated with dates. We can always count on him to tell us what day it is haha! He has always had a calendar above his bed too. Now, he will have one with HIM in it!
I can't wait to get it!

What I've been up to.....

Alot has been going on that I really didn't want to post until now. After we got back from Houston the beginning of October, I was sent to have an ultasound of the thyroid. Well, that lead to a biopsy that was done 2 weeks ago in Bartlesville. Not a fun thing to have done! Three needles poked into your neck! I had to wait a over a week to get the results of this (and let me tell you, that makes for a LONG week. Even keeping busy with 4-5 sessions a week, I still had some time to freak out a bit.) I finally heard from my Doctor in Houston and the results came back as "Non-diagnostic specimen due to lack of cellularity". Meaning, they didn't get any cells. On the bright side of that, they didn't get any cancer cells, but on the downside, they didn't get ANY cells. SO, I had to go in for a nuclear uptake scan (which I believe is similar to a bone scan, in that they give you radioactive stuff and then scan you and the radioactive stuff would stick to any cancer and it would light up). Ya, I'm real technical with this eh? It was a two day test, and I had that done this past Tuesday and Wednesday in Bartlesville. I think my anxiety level was out the roof this week! Well, yesterday, we got the results of that and it showed normal thyroid uptake!!! Meaning NO CANCER!!!!! :)!!
So, I was able to breathe a sigh a relief and thank the good Lord! I will repeat the biopsy in January when we are down in Houston, but I am not worried about it.
So, that's what has been happening in cancer land.

Now, in my real life, things are great! The studio is coming along. I just got back a few minutes ago from picking up my new flooring in Joplin for the studio. The contractors will finish Monday with the sheetrocking. We will paint this week, then have the new floor installed. I am so happy to see it coming along!

That's all for now! OHHHHH, I was going to tell you about a book I am in the middle of reading right now that I SO reccomend!! It is called "The Shack" by William P. Young. GREAT BOOK! Very moving and inspirational. I just bought the first book in the "Twilight" series today, so that is next on my list! After the "Twilight" series (I think there are 4 books in that series) I am going to read the "Left Behind" series. I need to make sure I get enough "me" time to finish them all!

In case I don't post before Thanksgiving, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksging!
