In-Laws

Well, it has been a busy last few days, with Thanksgiving and all. And I just smashed my thumb in between the dishwasher and a drawer, so typing is very difficult. Wayne's dad found out that he has skin cancer yesterday, which shouldn't have been as surprising to me as it was because he has had the possibility of it a few times. They took him in for surgery to cut out the infected fatty tissue in his cheek, in hopes that they will get all of it and won't have to resort to things like chemotherapy. Just the word "cancer" makes me nervous, and to have it in our immediate family makes it worse. I love my father-in-law very much, he holds the family together when we are mad at each other, which happens at least once or twice a year, for one reason or another! So I decided to dedicate this blog to my in-law family! I love my own parents very much, and talk to them 4 or 5 times a day, but they live in Phoenix and we don't get to see them very often. I am glad to have Wayne's family living so close. I feel like I have been adopted into their family. It is hard to imagine not having them as family, I really don't remember not having them in my life. It is really nice to know that I could call any one of my husband's family members with a problem and they would rush over. They are very supportive and loving. They help each other out, even when you don't want to be saved :) Other than a few choice friends that I try to hang on to, they are my social life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my husband more than he can imagine, but his family is the icing on the cake. I am very grateful for them. So, here's to my in-laws the Salmond-Heiner-Anderson Family! Cheers!
