Hi everyone!
I know it's been a while. We have received quite a few really great emails of support and they are much appreciated!
Here is the update...Bill is loving his "updated" job, although it takes him away a lot of nights. He is performing and has cast/directed his first show. He is doing really well. That WE LOVE!
My job has taken me to LA once already and I will be going back again in a couple of weeks. It's busy, but really great! I am enjoying the challenge.
As for my pending "surgery" we are taking a much slower stride. Bill and I went to a plastic surgeon on January 15th and weren't thrilled with what was said. There are a few details that we didn't know about that are slowing us down. I am to see the gynocological oncologist (if that is how you spell it) on the 17th of February, and will see a second plastic surgeon sometime after that. I am still considering June as the time frame to begin this ordeal...but am not married to June. We are planning to seriously start our home search in March. That would be something to get nailed down before I start this process. We shall see! Just a few things going on...just a few!
So here is a sight that I am loving (on occasion of course.) MJ has always been able to sit and watch TV from start to end of a program...but Sami was just too busy to really stay put. She is now starting to sit and watch with MJ...SO CUTE! They have to get "cozy" in their blankets in order to really get into it!
We had our first set of pigtails a few weeks ago! They didn't last long...she doesn't like to keep stuff in her hair. They were darn cute!
The only downside to the new jobs is that we are spending less time at home together than we had in the past. I am sure that things will settle down, at least I hope they do. It's hard on the kids, and hard on us. BUT- we wouldn't change it! It makes us realize that the time we have together is precious and important. Which is why I am saying goodbye as Bill just walked in the door from being away all day.
Love you all!
Stephanie
