Since Europe...

 So much has happened since we got back from Europe.  We hit the ground running as soon as we got back and haven't had much time to stop and breathe since.  We've been out of town at least half of those weekends.  However, we've had the chance to see so many people we greatly love, so it's absolutely been worth the driven miles and time away from home.  We've also been able to have some fun here in Round Rock plugging more into our little community.  I've been perusing the Round Rock website more and more to find out about local events.  We also finally joined the local community rec center because my work hours have changed, allowing us free times in the evening to actually take advantage of a membership.  (And for less than $20 a month per couple, it's absolutely worth it!)

Also, something I never blogged about before due to the fears and anxiety within myself, was a medical scare I had to deal with when I first got back from our trip.  A few weeks before we left for vacation, I had discovered a lump in my breast that made me quite nervous.  When I got back, I saw SO many different doctors about it, all who consistently seemed perplexed by my case and always had looks on their faces to match, (which didn't do much to decrease my fears).  A few weeks ago I had a biopsy done that came back negative for cancer (PRAISE THE LORD), and I've been able to sleep much more easily at night since.  However, I will have to go in to have the lump removed in about a month because they still have some slight concerns with it.  Obviously I'm not stoked about yet another procedure with more healing time, however, peace of mind is completely worth any pain!

(This short blog post continues to just grow... I apologize).  We also found a new church and joined it last weekend.  While we once loved our prior church, there simply wasn't a place for us anymore and we were desperately missing those sincere connections with peers.  We are quite confident that we have found it where we are now.  Not to mention, we love the staff!  Thus, another prayer was answered with this.

With Blair @ Lauren's wedding

Pretty bride

My lovely Heather came to town for Weston and Makenzie's wedding and I got to spend some good (though not nearly enough) quality time with her.  She needs to hurry up and move back down south!  This wedding also allowed us the chance to see Bolwerk and Alex.  If only these moments lasted longer!
