Christmas 2015 started out a little rough when we found out that Beverly had breast cancer. After several diagnostic visits to Scott and White and a biopsy on December 8, we got the bad news a few days later. In the beginning we had high hopes that a lumpectomy and radiation would be the course of treatment but later the doctors felt that it would be necessary to have chemotherapy as well. News like this has a tendency to kill the Christmas spirit but through a lot of prayer, tears and faith, we were able to just enjoy our time together as a family.
In addition, Jeremy and Annie were unlucky enough to hit a deer on the way home from Denver and messed up their car pretty extensively. It happened outside of Dalhart and they had to spend the night there so that Jeremy could make a few repairs in order to make it to our house and subsequently on to Annie's folks house in Houston. They were very fortunate to find a repair place that was able to repair it, paint it and get back to them in time for them to return home.
We are looking forward to Christmas 2016 with hopes that it will be much better than 2015.
