Back at it

We've had a crazy 3 months. Bullet points are easiest so here we go

December
*I went in for a routine yearly check up only to be told I had a lump in my throat that I was unaware of. Of course I panicked and thought Cancer. After many Dr. Visits, blood tests, an x-ray, ultra sound, and biopsy everything looks fine for right now.  I have a mixed nodule in my right thyroid. I'll get re-checked in 6 months. I was however very worried and stressed and didn't find out the results until the end of January. It was needless to say a long 2 months.
*We took off on the 17th to drive to Utah for 3 weeks! We are so blessed to be able to go back there as often as we do.
*Our kids are rockstars in the car and we set our new P.R. of 26 hours straight driving. We only stopped for gas and potty breaks.
*We FINALLY upgraded to a Swagger wagon. We love all the space we now have.
