Less than stellar . . .

So not the most perfect day in all creation for our family. My dad's cancer surgery was on Monday and today (Thursday) we received the news that the cancer was found in his lymph nodes. That brings the added "bonus" of chemotherapy and possibly radiation treatments. My mom and dad handled the news relatively well and my mom even said she was in some ways relieved that they would be doing chemo . . . . something to the effect of her feeling like it would be a good preventative to the resurfacing of cancer in his body in the future.

On a much less serious note, Chad called to tell me that his rental car was broken into in Texas and they stole his entire briefcase (laptop, external drives, iPod, and keys to his truck sitting in the airport back home). Lovely. So the kids and I will pack up into the car and drive to the airport tonight to meet him with his spare key.

If there is something fun to focus on, I'd have to say it is the scrapbooking I was able to do this afternoon. I finished a layout in a quick amount of time which is VERY unusual for me (literally like an hour). It is the first layout I have put together for the class I will be teaching at my LSS on May 23rd. I am excited to be teaching. A bit nervous for the pressure to create and teach my students something new and beautiful. But all in all I am looking forward to trying my hand at teaching others this art that I so love.
