On the Mend

I am finally on the mend after having surgery last Tuesday. This is the third surgery I have had to attempt to solve the problem I have with adhesions resulting from my two c-sections. This time I had my right ovary and tubes removed. I am very optimistic that this will take care of my problem once and for all, and that there will be no more surgeries. I am happy to say that the surgery went great and that I am healing wonderfully!! I had to be opened up completely, so the recovery has been somewhat slow. I was so excited, though, that I didn't get an infection in my incision this time. First time ever! I give all thanks to my Savior for being with me the whole time and for answering prayer. Even if He never answered any of my prayers, He would still be an amazing God.

In further news, my younger brother, Joseph (who just returned from Afghanistan), is getting married on Friday! He and his girlfriend have only been dating a few months, but they are "so in love" and are ready to take the leap. I am so happy for them and very eager to welcome her into our CRAZY family. They are not having a big wedding, just going to the courthouse, which definitely fits both of their personalities. She will be moving to Clarksville to live with him just outside of the base. No wedding, but I am so excited to plan a reception! That is my cup of tea, for sure. Just knowing my brothers, I never thought our family would grow past what it is today. However, my brother Josh and his girlfriend, Andrea, are giving us a new nephew in September, and now Joseph is getting married! I am so looking forward to our family expanding, and I am majorly anticipating getting to meet and hold my little nephew Jaxon. He is going to be Aunt Misty's boy...I just know that for sure!!
