Where to start

This year is probably going to go down in the books as the best/worst year of my life. Let me start with the end of 2010. The end of September David, Tanner, my mom and I took a trip to Disney World.  This is significant because the September prior my mom had been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in her liver.  This was her second bought with cancer so we knew that we were living on borrowed time. So David and I decided that we wanted to spend some quality time with her and we knew how much she loved Disney....of course that gave us the perfect excuse to take a trip we had also been wanting to take.  This also happened to be Tanner's 11th birthday so it was perfect timing. We had the best time. Mom tired out a lot but she was so happy. I knew that she wasnt going to be with us much longer so after that vacation David and I decided we would try and get pregnant again. This was a scary prospect since we had already had a miscarriage that almost killed me in December 2008, but I wanted my mom to see me pregnant and have something to look forward to as she continued to fight.  So I became pregnant with Olivia in November 2010.  In December mom took a turn for the worse and we knew this was it....even if we weren't ready to admit to ourselves.  That was the beginning of the best/worst year of my life. Throughout all the events of this year God has shown me his grace and blessings.  Keep reading my future posts and I will share with you the events of this year and also my daily life. It is much too long for one post. :)
