Today is my birthday 🥳

Starbucks for breakfast

I ended up going to Starbucks this morning for breakfast and got a free iced coffee and an apple croissant 🥐

Birthday gifts from my friend in Montana

These are the gifts that my friend sent me for my birthday!

I don’t have any plans to do anything today but relax and catch up on my shows I missed during the week. Since my brother’s birthday was last month, I think my family will have a dual celebration at a later date.

Turn worry into wonder.. quote by Ann Voskamp

Turn your worry into wonder. Instead of worrying about your problem or situation, start wondering how God will show up in the situation. It’s all about perspective. – Ann Voskamp

This was a quote shared by Ann Voskamp during a Yes to God webcast in 2011 that showed up in my memories today and I wanted to share it!

Life update

I wanted to make a quick blog post to let everyone know that I had to have surgery on Wednesday. I was originally scheduled for a partial hysterectomy but once they started the operation they found out that I had endometriosis and removed my ovaries as well.

I was able to go home the same day as my surgery and have been resting and taking it easy since then. I haven’t had any major problems except for some shoulder pain from the trapped gas from the surgery. Which has been great since I haven’t needed to take any of the pain medication that I was prescribed.

I will be off work until August 5th and go back to my doctor at the end of August for my 6 week follow up appointment. At which point we will discuss treatment options as needed for any hot flashes or other symptoms of menopause.
