Intro

Well I guess since this is my first ever post on my first ever blog, this should be some sort of an introduction... So here goes! My name is Taylor. I am 21 years old and I am recently married. I have a serious fetish for crafts and projects. I'm like a walking pinterest board... Something I get from my mother. Most people appreciate it but it drives my husband nuts! I'm also a thinker and a planner. Some people say they can hear the gears turning in my head. Something I get from my dad. Mix that in with the crafts and you've got a recipe for disaster. I could seriously sit, think and plan crafts all day long. It's Another trait that others are impressed with but has my husband rolling his eyes and sighing every time I utter the words "so I was thinking." I've gone from having plans of being a doctor to a professor to a housewife. We've had plans go from renting, to buying a mobile home, to purchasing a four bedroom home so it will be paid off by the time our future kids go to college. I trend to obsess over planning a little bit. Unfortunately all of our ever changing plans were put on hold a couple of weeks ago. I had to drop out of the nursing program due to my recent diagnosis of hodgkins lymphoma. Everyone is very sympathetic which I appreciate but I'm not sad, I'm excited. I've felt bad for two years. It all started with one swollen lymph node at the base of my neck which I later learned was stage one hodgkins lymphoma. It progressed into acid reflux, sore throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath. By the time I found a doctor who was concerned about my symptoms and figured out what it was, I was at stage three. I've only had two treatments and I already feel like a million bucks. Not only that, God has moved in my life. Others have gotten to see God at work and they have been inspired. I'm excited that God chose me to be his hands and feet by giving me this. I'm excited to see what He is going to do throughout the course of my battle with lymphoma.
