Well, this weekend was bittersweet to say the least. It was so wonderful to have Jeremy in town and to spend time together. Unexpectedly, our weekend ended up being one with many emotions. Saturday we were on a high and had so much fun in the 1st Annual Banzuke, Sunday we saw the movie Fireproof and I was an emotional mess afterwards, we then got the exciting news that our friends had their baby on Monday morning, and then low and behold, Monday afternoon we were given some very bad news.
While Jeremy was in town, we took Maverick into the vet because for the past few months he has been extremely lethargic and has had problems walking on his right leg. I have been very worried about him but unfortunately, last month when I had scheduled a vet appointment, my jeep broke down and I had to spend some unexpected money to get that fixed so I had to delay getting him in. Finally we got him in but I was not ready to hear what the vet had to say.
It turns out that Maverick has a massive tumor that has grown on his scapula. If he were to receive an operation, he would end up having his right front leg and scapula amputated and would have to undergo chemo and radiation. However, the vet said if we were to go that route, we would just be prolonging the inevitable. So, we just opted for pain management with medication and are hoping for the best. We have absolutely no idea how much longer Maverick will be with us and due to this fact, I have been a wreck. THANK GOD Jeremy was here in town with me because I could not have received that news alone.
With that being said, as hard as this has been, isn't it amazing how God works things out? I was so upset several weeks ago when my jeep broke down but if it hadn't I would have taken Mave into the vet by myself and would have had to hear the news without Jeremy next to me. It is also amazing to me at the timing of this difficult situation. Maverick came into my life at a very hard time for me and has been right next to me ever since. Now, here it is, right before my wedding and it is possible that he will be taken away from me. I have been through A LOT but I can honestly say that this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. Maverick has always been a momma's boy and is my baby. He has been with me through so much and I have been sooo blessed to have him in my life the past 6 1/2 years. I am not sure what the future holds, but however long I have left with him, I hope to make the most of it. Unfortunately, Jeremy had to head back to KC very early this morning but Maverick and I took some 'Mommy and Mave' time and went to the beach for awhile.
This picture was taken this morning and will always be priceless to me.

On the way to my aerobics class (yes, I was dragging Jeremy to one of my classes), we received some exciting news! To our surprise, Mya Grace Dimmick arrived this morning (Mon, 9-29-08)! Here is why this new arrival was so surprising...she was not due for another MONTH! However, she was obviously ready to come into this world and she is just perfect. Jessica was our judge in the Unbeatable Banzuke Competition on Saturday since she could not participate in any of the events. We had all just been talking about the fact that in just one month we would have a new member in our Cul-de-sac Club, and now she is here already! Jeremy joked that she wanted to make an appearance since he was in town and we all humored him! heehee! She is just so precious! Congratulations to the proud new parents!
Jeremy and I went to go see the movie FIREPROOF with Kirk Cameron on Sunday and all I can say is it is a MUST-SEE!! It is a Christian-based movie from the creators of FACING THE GIANTS and wow, it speaks volumes. It is very well done and there are many levels to this incredible film. Everyone should go see this movie, we highly recommend it! (And, if anything...Kirk is still as cute as he was in the 80's!) Oh, and if you do go see it, it would be wise to take tissues with you...
