Today, I just need to get some things off my chest. Otherwise I feel like I'll implode with everything that's going on. To write it out, so I can write-it out of my heart and I can focus on the things that matters. Here goes...
- I hate that my brother is sick with squamous cell skin cancer. Ok, he's not sick with it, but he's battling it. He's half-way through the treatment of it, which consists of radiation every day and 3 round of chemotherapy. It hasn't been easy for him. And I've always seen my brother strong. What's worse, is how it's affecting his family. Everyone from his wife, son, parents and yes, even me. When you battle cancer, it affects everyone.
- I'm moving from Bloomington, MN to Brookings, SD and have no time to pack. There are about two empty boxes in my possession and the moving crew will be here April 18 to take it to its new home. This moving also means a job change. I love my job, desperately. Friends have heard me refer to it as my 'dream job.' There's something bitter about having to leave your dream job at age 28. This economy means job prospects are slim and I've yet to find my next dream job...
Here's what I want to dwell on.
- It's amazing how much family, friends and coworkers pull together when there's an illness. I saw this at a young age (10) when my dad was in a serious tractor accident. All the neighbors helped up put up hay, work cattle, clean the house and put meals on the table. I still do not know the words to say when something tragic happens, and I hope I never learn those words. It pulls a family closer, and it makes them rely more heavily on their faith.
- I'm moving away to be married!
I'm sure I'll add more, but for now, this is what is overwhelming me.

I have to do the same thing.. write it out. It's my therapy.
So thankful to hear that Jason is doing well.
You know, my parents have now lived on the Shady Oaks Farm Road for something around 10 yrs. We often take the Splithand route to get there, and enjoy by slowly to admire the Red Angus residents. One day, I think last summer, we saw a great big snapping turtle in the pasture near the road. :)
