For the past two years my aunt has fought a battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma. This rare form of cancer was tough, but she was a fighter. She enjoyed life, she loved her family, she pressed on and did all she could do. These past weeks have been a battle and today Cindy left this earth to go to heaven. What was amazing through it all was her faith - knowing she believed in Jesus personally and knew exactly where she was going. She was bold with her faith letting others know that is what pressed her on to fight the fight. I have learned much from Cindy and will always hold the memories in my heart. It is hard to not have her here with us but I am so thankful that I have Jesus as my savior too. I have no doubt I will see her again.. She has no more pain.. no more tears ..
I love you Cindy <3
I love my family.. I love you shawn, scott, kevin & amy.. your so brave <3
If you want to read more of Cindy's story you can on her carepage.

first month of school
This first month of school has flown by! I cannot even believe that I have been teaching that long and don't feel too overwhelmed. I hope that I am doing a good job.. but there are some days I constantly feel like I should be doing more. Like.. if I take one moment to stop and breathe I question myself! I guess thats the life of a first year teacher.
We have an event called: Project Heart Well. It is a 5K run/walk through District 81. More information can be found here Project Heart Well It is coming up September 30th! Go ahead and sign up today!
More about school to come later.. Mike and I visited Katie, Jared (and jude & elly) this past weekend! It was a great way to spend labor day :) Mike had been gone the previous week in Mexico so this was great time together!!
It seems we are both so busy these days... working, coming home around 5:30/6, eating, cleaning up and heading up to bed! Of course I have been super tired and wanting to sleep around 9! He does NOT like this ;)
This weekend we had literally nothing.. it has been so lazy. Reading on the deck, went to church, talking walks outside - its been good! We have some busy weekends for the rest of September - like next weekend we get to go to ISU for Family weekend to see Kyla! We have not seen her for about a month. I am trying hard to update the blog about 2x a month. It is not going too well but I will try harder from now on :)
