Always wear you sunblock!

So, I totally forgot to put this in the other blog. I guess you get to read 2 blogs!! Wow that must be a record. I think everyone in my family knows that growing up I didn't have a mole on my body. So, it was very strange that in the last 2-3 years I started the sprout some moles. (haha that sounds so weird) Of course, I always had the one on the side of my hip/bottom that everyone teased me about (paige) then I got a couple on my back. I started to get concerned so I went to the doctor. She decided to remove my 'stain' on the side of my bum (paige will know what i mean by stain) and one on my back. She told me that she would call me about the results unless there is a problem. I went back a week later to get my stitches out and the nurse said that the doctor wanted to talk to me. The doctor came in and said the one that I had always had was fine, it had morphed into some strange skin...then the one on my back happened to be pre-cancerous! It totally through me for a loop! I am only 20 yrs old! So my advice for the day, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!! Never leave home without it! Oh don't worry, everything is fine:) I didn't write this to scare anyone. And don't worry I am getting a skin scan and I am pretty sure I will be fine, about 99% sure;) Have a SAFE SUN day!

Black Bag Ball

I can't believe I have not blogged since November! Life gets busy and hectic and I guess somethings got to give. Just a brief update....nothing new:) Life in Wisconsin has consisted of, Arctic blasts, with wind chills of -35 and temps of -15 for a high, keeping the thermostat at 60 so our power bill isn't $150, and working/going to school. Chuck has been working really hard at school and I was so proud of him for getting ALL HONORS!! Isn't that just the coolest! What a smart catch I have found:) Something fun that Chuck and I got to do was go to a dance called The Black Bag Ball. It is something the medical college puts on and it was fun! There was a really good dinner, I had salmon and Chuck had steak. Then we danced and had fun with all the med students. Here is a pic to commemorate the experience. Since we are the only 2 here, I had to take the picture myself.
