I mentioned last time that my Canon PowerShot camera (which I loved) got broken at Christmas. After calling Canon and finding out how expensive repairing the broken LCD screen would be, I decided to look for a camera on eBay. I almost immediately found a slightly used PowerShot for $85.00 with free shipping (about 1/3 of the retail price) and was excited to snap up that deal. It works just wonderfully, and I didn't have to worry about learning different features since it is identical to my old camera.
But the most interesting part of this story is that while I was looking for a replacement for my camera, I noticed that people were succesfully selling broken digital cameras. I decided to put my damaged camera on eBay with a complete description of needed repairs and a starting price of $0.99. Imagine my surprise when the auction closed, and the camera had sold for over $50.00!
So you might be wondering where the pictures are, since I have a working camera again. Well, now there seems to be a problem with Blogger because I have not been able to upload any pictures over the last several days. I don't think it's a problem with my computer since I've uploaded in other places. I'll keep trying and if anyone has any suggestions, just leave a comment.
my experience with breast cancer and other life events

A Little History
I was diagnosed with stage III, metastatic breast cancer in October 2008. At about the same time, we discovered I was pregnant. Initially, the prognosis was bleak, but after detailed analysis of the cancer, successful surgery, and treatments, the picture brightened considerably. I completed nine rounds of chemotherapy, twenty-five radiation treatments, and took Tamoxifen until October 2010.
After the fifth round of chemotherapy and various other treatments and tests, Gilead Victor was born six weeks early on Mother's Day, 2009. He is a healthy littly guy and a joy to us all.
In October 2010, tests showed that the cancer had returned in my liver and bones. This is now considered stage IV, terminal cancer.
Jon and I have lived in Colorado since 1997. We have seven children - four boys and three girls.

How You Can Pray
Please pray for Jon and the kiddos - this is much harder for them than it is for me. I would appreciate prayer that my pain would be insignificant. Even more than that, please pray that I will be able to think clearly all the way to the end of my life. And even more than that, please pray that I will accept the grace from God to deal with anything He chooses to bring my way. You may also pray for my healing, but I have to be honest - I am more mentally and emotionally invested in seeing Jesus right now than I am in being healed. If God chooses to heal me, He'll give me the grace to wait a little longer to meet Him "whom having not seen, [I] love."

Have you tried to do it through Picasa? I use blogger and haven't had any trouble. Picasa might "trick" it!
Don't you love it, when the Lord does things like that for you??? Thanks for posting.
Sometimes Blogger is just frustrating like that. What I've done in the past is loaded my pictures to photobucket and then paste the html codes into my Blogger post. It's a roundabout way, but it works! (At least... it worked for me. This technology stuff can be so finicky!)
Please tell Nathan "Happy Birthday!" for me. <3
