Trip to the Hills

This past weekend we went to Rapid City for my cousin's wedding. We did have a little bit of time to do some shopping. Friday evening we went to the mall. I did find some clothes. Their JCPenney and Herberger's are way better than ours here! Saturday morning the guys dropped mom and I off at Hobby Lobby. When we were done there, we walked to the mall. It doesn't look like it's too far away - but when you are carrying shopping bags and walking into the crazy wind, it's a bit difficult! That's what you call serious-shopping. I did have to get some makeup items at the mall, because stupid me forgot my makeup bag at home. :(

We also got some bad news this past week. My uncle (my dad's brother) was diagnosed with glioblastoma - a cancerous brain tumor and the doctors are giving him 1 year to live. This is the same tumor that Ted Kennedy had. It is very difficult to take in because my family has not had to deal with something like this before. My dad is one of 8 children, so we have a large family. The good news is that he will be going to Denver where a team of specialists will operate to remove the tumor and then go through intense radiation. He will need lots of prayers to have the strength to get through this. There has been a CaringBridge website setup for him at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jamesweisbeck so you can stay updated on his progress.
