The prom dress has arrived and guess what?!! it's perfect. Perfect everywhere even the length is great. We might have to have it taken in a little bit on the sides but other than that, it's the one! I love that we didn't have to set foot in one store to buy it either. It's silk taffeta and absolutely gorgeous. I guess after all the years of tears and shopping for dresses has paid off and now Kate can just order and poof, it works.

Took Jack to his regular endo check up yesterday. He's grown 2" since September and lost one lb. Dr. Mick wanted an ultra sound of his thyroid as we've never had one done. She was so sweet to call over to imaging and get us in yesterday morning. It is so hard to take a day off of school and work and get down there so we headed over to Childrens imaging and had it done. The ultra sound tech was very sweet and she was able to find her dr. to show him the results. They did find two nodules on Jack's thyroid and Dr. Mick called yesterday letting me know that she'd like him to go to another specialist at UAB to have it looked at again and maybe even a possible needle biopsy done on one of the nodules. It's not uncommon to have nodules on the thyroid but its best to have them checked out to rule out anything serious. My thoughts are let's just take out the Jack's thyroid as it really doesn't work anyway and I'm not one to just "watch" something and see if it changes. Ugh. I won't watch moles, just take it off. I have too many other things to do. So, we'll see. In the mean time, Dr. Mick raised his dose a little bit. One day, he'll just level off and we won't have to go as much but right now, his pituitary gland is sending all kinds of hormones out and we need to keep up with it so he will grow properly. I'm so glad we live in an area that has wonderful drs.

Kate and I started a Beth Moore bible study last night. It's the study of James. I'm so excited to get into this one. Beth is so great at talking to us girls and I just love her. I'm happy Kate is going too. How cool for her to be exposed to such a great lesson so young. I was involved with the TEC program when I was her age which was great but this Beth's lessons are so easy to follow and she does a wonderful job of including so many pieces of scripture to help us see how Jesus really worked. Did you know that James, Jesus' half brother was one of his biggest skeptics? At one point James said to Jesus, go on, get out of here if you want to be a public figure, show everyone what you can do. James was mocking him and not a believer until Jesus appeared to him after he had died. Jesus went back to his natural family and fetched them as Beth said. Perfect example of reconnecting with your flesh and blood even when things aren't quite as tidy as you'd like.
