A bit of a sad day

So I've been off the blog for a while now. It's not like I haven't had things to write about, completely the reverse in fact. Instead, I have no time to blog! In the past month:
* Jon's grandfather passed away
* Jon's step-dad was diagnosed with stage four angiosarcoma (a very rare and aggressive cancer)
* I've graduated from school with my masters degree

Exciting right? Yeah, not really! At one point we had drove up and back to Maine 3 times in a 2 week period (one trip was up and back in the same day)

Currently I sit in the Dana Farber Cancer Institute with Jon's step-dad for his very first day of chemo-therapy. Just me and him. It's such an awful thing to know that EVERYONE around you is sick with cancer. In a regular hospital it's not nearly as bad; some people are having babies, some just a check up, maybe a broken bone, etc. but here, it's all bad. Every room is contained with a patient receiving some harsh form of chemo-therapy in an effort to fight for the right to live life... I'm telling you, it's SAD! Please to all my fellow bloggers (the 3 of you) don't take life for granted, don't sweat the small stuff, and love every day as much as you can because things change so rapidly and out of the blue!

In the midst of all the unfortunate setbacks we are going through right now, I am trying to study for the Certified Public Accountant's (CPA), which let me tell you is not the most fun! My first exam is the auditing piece and I will be taking it next Friday, YIKES! It's been the busiest month of my life I think; tonight my father and his girlfriend will be arriving from Maine to stay tomorrow and leave late Monday night. Then Monday-Friday am will be some insane amounts of studying for me! Ok, for now I'm signing off!
