So, this is life now

I have to apologize for not diving into this blog a little more. Itzzz been crazy over here! But, to fill you in.

We've Moved-South! 

Barely, but we have managed to completely uproot our little family and make the venture to Omaha. Today, was the first day that it has actually felt real. Everything that I have grown attached to, is now three hours away-if not father. I expected to miss everyone, but was not sure how much. For those times, I just keep reminding myself that it is going to get easier- everyday will be easier; besides there is a Target practically in my backyard!

This is it ------->        6423 N. 78th street- Omaha, Ne 68134

I took a picture to capture all of the boxes and "stuff" that we hauled all the way here, but the very sight of the picture made me feel overwhelmed- BUT- there has been progressed made. When the hubby counted- i think he said that we were down to 8 boxes left- just need to figure out where to unpack those boxes.  

ALLLLLLSO- as many of you may know, on September 19, 2011 at 7:22PM another little girl joined our family.  

Miss Paxtynn Natalie Nielsen-  8lbs 12oz;  221/2 long

Lil chub-chub is what we call her- and she came out with smiles galore. She is a wonderful baby and we definitely feel blessed to have her. This labor experience was mmmmmuch better than the first; that is what is expected- as I have been told. But, same result, a beautiful little girl to hold and kiss and love forever.

I will confess: I love being a mother and a wife.

I thank God everyday for the life he has given me. I thank him for the hard times that made me stronger and the precious times that made me feel overwhelmingly blessed. I have a wonderful husband that is a hard worker, two baby girls that I get to watch grow up, two dogs that keep me warm at night, and a wonderful-supportive family. Godsent--YES! 

And one last thing...

November 28- today- marks 4 years....4 years since we were told I was going to die from cancer- boy were they wrong- and thank God!  I don't feel like going into all the details of that heartache, but i will just continue to sit in awe and continue to cherish every day. I want soo badly for my girls to see and feel just how precious each day is. I know many survivors out there, but then I know even more people who have parished to the devastation and my heart aches. For that reason- I will always pray- daily- if not- hourly :)

Remember: Isaiah 41:10

¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
   do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
   I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 ¹¹ “All who rage against you
   will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
   will be as nothing and perish.
¹² Though you search for your enemies,
   you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
   will be as nothing at all.
¹³ For I am the LORD your God
   who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
   I will help you.
