Things have been pretty crazy for us lately. I've been knitting up a storm getting ready for Christmas... lets just say there are a few people who will be getting hats or scarfs this year.. I will post pictures and more info on these after Christmas. Mom will be starting chemo this week and I have picked out a few hats to make for her when her hair is gone. I will be knitting the Sock it to me Cabled Cap, It all Comes Together Beret and a Lace Trim Chemo Cap. I quit my job this week so that I will be able to take care of her when things get bad. Fortunately the tests she had last week showed that there is no cancer in her body, but there is something else wrong and more tests will need to be done to determine what that is. Because mom will need someone with her in the mornings, Jeff and I have decided to postpone moving out in order to stay close to family at this time.
It's amazing how easy it was to come to this decision. I cant tell you how much I have been looking forward to and planning moving into our own place. Every conversation I had could be redirected to moving. I guess at some point I realized how selfish I have become. I want to move out so I can spend more time with Jeff. I want to have a place all of my own. I have to have a job... it just keeps going. Suddenly Sunday night I realized how self-centered our plans were. After discussing it with Jeff we decided I should quit so that mom can have constant care. I cant begin to describe the peace we have in making this decision. There will always be time to have a place of our own... mom might not always be around. I'm excited to see what God has in store for us as we go through this, not to mention it will be nice to sleep in again :)
