I Hate Cancer

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  I love that there is pink in every window, on every sports player and in all of the magazines.  It is amazing the support that is shown in every imaginable way.  But still, why do we have to celebrate it?  It is time for this nasty disease to be gone.

I lost my Mom to cancer.  A college friend passed away last month from a reoccurring brain tumor.  Ryan's cousin lost her second round battle to breast cancer earlier this week.  It's just too much!  Too many people are being taken away unnecessarily by such a horrific disease.  These patients battle in such a graceful way and are put through so many terrible treatments.  I'm just ready for it to be gone.  Polio, small pox, they've been eradicated.  I hope in my lifetime this is as well.

Okay, enough of a soap box.  I wanted to let the Blog world know that we have made our choice for careers... Evansville, IN here we come!  Ryan has joined a private practice and will be one of four ENTs.  The group has hired another fellowship trained Facial Plastics guy that will begin the same time as Ryan.  We are pleased with the opportunity for growth, the location of Evansville in relation to family and our happiness with the city itself.

We have been getting our house ready for the market in the spring.  Amazing how you get the energy to fix all of those little things you keep walking past, but never stop to fix until you know it is time to sell!
