Still cancer-free and I'm on the three-year plan...

Had my yearly colonoscopy yesterday and a couple of weeks ago,

I went in to Huntsman Cancer Hospital for more tests...blood work and a CT scan.

(Try drinking a gallon --I'm exaggerating, but it seemed like a gallon--of barium--ugh!)

I'm still cancer-free and now

ON THE THREE YEAR PLAN for a colonoscopy!!!

We are celebrating at our house!

BOYCOTT PILLSBURY!!!

You will see by the post beneath this one, that I've been a huge fan of My Dough Girl Cookies for almost a year and a half. I always have a few bags of frozen cookie balls in my freezer and for example, when I had out of town company for 6 days, they loved My Dough Girl cookies so much I went in twice and bought a dozen + each time. Notice the My Dough Girl logo...NOTHING like the Pillsbury dough boy...and Pillsbury is threatening to put My Dough Girl out of business...humm...."dough boy"...."My Dough Girl"...NOTHING ALIKE!!! So, for the sake of a wonderful woman who makes delicious cookies...I'm asking that you buy NOTHING from Pillsbury...they are the big bully trying to hurt My Dough Girl. I'd like this boycott to kick the dough boy right where it hurts!

My Dough Girl

One of my co-workers brought cookies to work yesterday...they were purchased from My Dough Girl which is located in Salt Lake at 770 S. 300 W. They are INCREDIBLE COOKIES....you can find her website here. She names her cookies after women; my favorite is Vivianna. Vivianna's description is: Feel the warmth of the equator. Orange dough, mangos & dark chocolate...YUM!!! My second favorite is Audrey: Almond dough packed full of adoration, almonds, cranberries and white chocolate. I'm not a white chocolate fan, but these are delicious! I can't wait to go in and try the red velvet and Ricki. Ricki's description is as follows: One might find themselves saying "Ooh Aah All Man's Joy!" Coconut dough with chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds. You can either purchase the frozen cookie dough balls, take them home and bake one or a dozen...or you can buy them already baked. Oh, my, if you're in SLC, stop in and try them, you won't be disappointed.

Still catching up....

I got a text from Angela today:

"Jack just climbed into a diaper box, closed it up and said, "mail me to grandma's house!"

Can he get any cuter than that! I told her to send him!!!

Empty arms, aching heart...

Today a young man I work with will have his life changed forever...I know, because that's what happened to me. Eternal perspective will have a deeper meaning; living the gospel is vital.

He and his wife are in the hospital awaiting the birth of their baby. However, unlike their previous births, they have two boys, they will leave the hospital with empty arms and an aching heart because this full term baby boy will be stillborn.

My heart aches for them because I know how we felt when our Alison was born. You still have to endure labor, but instead of joy, you feel heartache. These precious babies are STILL...pause... BORN to loving parents who wanted them to join their earthly family. I pray they find comfort as we have. I will tell him we honor Alison with angelfood cake on her birthday.

I pray we will live worthy to be with Alison after our earthly life is over...

because our family is an eternal family.
