My How Time Flies!

Wow! I can't believe how fast this summer is going already. I feel like we are constantly on the go these days, but that's a good thing! We've had a lot going on since my last post.

I'll start with Josh's new job. He is now a design engineer for Quad Plus, a company based in Chicago. He loves it and we love having him work from home. He started three days after we got back from Florida, he had to be in Chicago for some training. He came home that weekend and then had to be back in Chicago the next week. Me and the girls along with Gina, my mother in law drove up to Chicago on Wednesday. We had such a good time! We surprised the girls and took them to the American Girl Store. We had lunch in the cafe. They said it was the best surprise EVER!!!

 The girls dolls all buckled up!

I'm sure some of you have seen the commercial for the upcoming Colon Screening for Life Walk/Run that the girls and I got to be in. We haven't seen it yet, but we keep watching for it. The event is next Saturday, June 25 and we would love to have a huge "Team Taba". You can sign up here. Early registration ends Saturday, June 18.

I haven't asked for prayers for a while, although I know some of you have continued to pray for us. I would appreciate it if everyone could say a little prayer for my upcoming scan on the 27th. I feel my anxiety starting to kick in a little already. This is a big one. The last time I talked to Dr. Stephens he said as long as this one comes back clean we will talk about stretching the next one out. I have a mix of emotions about that. I am totally excited that we are finally getting to this point, but the other part of me is nervous about going that long without confirmation that everything is okay. 

The other night when I was helping Mylee take a shower, she asked me why God lets people get sick. This came out of the blue. We hadn't talked about anyone being sick, so I'm not sure where it came from. I didn't say anything right away, as I tried to gather my thoughts on how to give her the best answer. That's a tough one to explain to a six year old. I think she is starting to realize how serious my being sick was. It almost made me thankful that the girls weren't old enough to know exactly what we were going through at the time. Still seeing God's little blessings along the way. 

I hope to update a little sooner next time. Thanks for reading!
