June 2nd - My sister had to go to the emergency room - unknown swelling and Kason started his first day at Mt. Vernon daycare.
June 3rd - Dad has bronchitis
June 4th - Leslie had to go back to the doctor but this time she cut her finger which required stiches
June 5th - MY BIG 30 BIRTHDAY
June 6th - We came home and my dad is now back in the hospital for chest pain.
Updated on Life:
The wedding turned out beautiful even though there was a 30 minute delay due to 65North being shut down because of a fatal incident. Oh well I'm trying to learn not to sweat the small stuff but I'm not doing so well. We had a great time with family and friends and I can't thank my family for helping our day turn out so well. After I finally said good bye to Kason, which I must say was very hard and tears started forming in my eyeballs me and Shaun headed to Dave's in Homewood for pizza. I know pizza is what you are thinking but it was one of the first places Shaun took me on a date and we really enjoy the area. Afterwards we headed home and the rest you will just have to use your imagination.
Sunday morning started off early..4:15 am if you must know and my sister was at the house by 5:15 to take us to the airport. As I mentioned earlier Tucker Beam went to be with the Lord at 2:30 am. Please continue to pray for The Beam family as they go through this very tough time.
The cruise ofcourse was great...We were able to visit Key West, Grand Cayman and Jamaica. It sure is nice to leave in the USA though. We meet a really nice couple from Utah (Jared and Julie) that were are dinner buddies for the week. I also spent my 30th birthday on the cruise as well and was surprised by a birthday cake from my family. Even though I had a great time I was so happy to have my arms around my little one yesterday when I got to see him. I kissed him from head to toe. Lord I missed that little laugh.
I took Kason to daycare this morning and I realized that he is not a little boy anymore. I took him to the lunchroom and he never looked back. He went right to his table, pulled out the chair and sat until they brought his breakfast. I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast.
As far as work...It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Not really for sure what the rest of the week holds. Like I mentioned earlier my Dad is back in the hospital and is going to have another arteria gram today to see what is going on and to see what could be causing the chest pain. He is still having alot of problems with his blood pressure and so just continue to pray for him and my mom.
I have the honeymoon pictures ready to post in a slide but still haven't worked on the wedding.

A Heavy Heart For The Beam Family
Our precious son Tucker was born in May in 2000. Shortly before his first birthday a lump appeared on his right thigh. 10 days after his first birthday, he was diagnosed with a childhood cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma. God healed him after a year of chemo, radiation, and surgery. He was cancer free for 6 years.
Feb 16th, 2008
In February of 2008, Tucker started complaing about his leg hurting, and we took him to the doctor. They discovered that Tuck had a second cancer, ostoegenic sarcoma.
God brought us through cancer the first time, and now we have completed our battle with the second tumor. We praise Him for a wonderful team of doctors, nurses, and support staff that have cared for us over the past year.
March 17th, 2009
We now face another battle against AML, a form of leukemia. We are in for the fight of our lives. It is March 17th and we start a 7 day chemo in the morning.
My prayer for Tucker has always been that he will be a good witness and have a worthy testimony. God has, and continues to answer that prayer. So many people have shared with us over the years that his story touched their lives. We pray now that this new part of our story will continue to touch the lives of others for Jesus Christ.
Love,
Jason, Courtney, Tucker and Lily

I guess the time has come for us to let you know Tucker's status. We have put this email off for as long as we can - but we feel like it's time to let all of you know. You have been so faithful to pray for us at a moments notice and we will be forever grateful. As we enter this phase of Tucker's precious life, we still covet your prayers.
We are not going to Minnesota. As we wrote earlier, he took a turn for the worse last Saturday. We still are not completely sure what is in his lungs, but the general concensus is that it is the leukemia spreading.
At this point we are working to keep Tucker as comfortable as possible. Dr. Watts and his team are working to find the combination of meds that will be the most beneficial for him.
Please continue to pray for our precious baby.
Joshua 1:9
My sister and brother-in law visted with them today for a couple of hours. The doctor has said there is nothing more he can do and Tucker will die. We all know that our God can preform great miracles and Tucker is in his hands. They have put him on morphine to help with his breathing and to make Tucker as comfortable as possible. I ask for everyone to pray that God's will be done in this situation and that peace will be with Tucker as well as his mom and dad if God decides to take him home. I know as a parent I would not want to see my child suffer but the thought of him being taken away would scare me as well. Please continue to pray for the Beam Family as they go through this very difficult time in their lives.

The Country Club Is Open
We had a great yet busy weekend...4 more days and I will have a new last name. I'm not real crazy about my new initials Angela Diane Dooley but I guess it fits me sometimes, right mom???
Friday was a great day because I only worked till 10:45 am. We had lunch at a co workers house that had open heart surgery two weeks ago and afterwards our boss let us off for the rest of the day. I had a couple of errans to run before I picked up little man then we headed home. Friday night was mostly spent hanging out at the house with Shaun and Mikah.
Saturday morning Kason was up bright and early at 6:30 am. What happen to him sleeping till 8 am I have no idea. We really didn't do much Saturday mostly just hung around the house. Later that evening I took Kason to get a much needed haircut, did alittle shopping for a baby gift and then had dinner at Chick fil A together. Shaun and Mikah worked on the house Saturday afternoon and got mostly everything back in place.
Sunday morning started off crazy and we didn't make it to church. Finally once we thought things were back to normal we went to Shaun's mom for lunch and then to Walmart to pick up things for the Memorial Day cook out at the country club aka my Aunt Robin's house. Sunday night me, Shaun, Kason and Mikah went to hang out with our friends Robert and Amanda so we could give them their baby shower gift. (her shower is the same day as our wedding)
Monday ofcourse was spent eating good food all day long and hanging out by the pool. Even though the pool was freezing Madison, Kason, Mikah, Shaun and myself decided to get in. Kason wasn't really for sure about the water at first but I think once it warms up he will do better. I also think the fact that his feet don't touch scares him just alittle. We had a really good day with the family.
This is going to be a crazy week...Between trying to finish last minute wedding stuff and packing for myself and Kason to stay with my mom and sister next week I'm sure I will be ready our relaxing cruise on Sunday.

A Banquet, Wedding and Alittle Shopping
This weekend was a busy weekend but a fun one.
Thursday night we had Mackenzie's Sport Banquet at GFBC. She received certificates in Cheerleading, Volleyball, Softball and Track. She received a extra award in Track for having the most points.
Friday ended alittle early for me (around 2pm) because we had to be at Logan Martin Lake by 5:30pm for my cousin Shelley's wedding rehearsal. I wasn't in the wedding but somehow I always get volunteered as the "Wedding Coordinator" aka J Lo. We thought it might get rained out but after a quick shower the plans were back on. We had a great time and enjoyed some really good food.
Saturday morning I was able to sleep in till about 10am. I just did somethings around the house until it was time to get ready for the wedding. Me and Shaun headed to the lake around 2 pm for pictures that started at 3. We were all hoping and praying it wasn't going to rain. Shelley must have said an extra pray that day because the rain held off and the wedding started at 5 pm as planned. She had already changed the location of the wedding because of the rain so instead of doing it outside on the lawn it was done under tents. However it still turned out absolutely beautiful. No one in the family can still believe that "OUR" baby is married. Congrats to Allen and Shelley Nicholls.
Sunday was a very special day because we got to witness my neice Madison being baptized. It was such a special moment and I was glad I was able to share it with my family. We had lunch provided for us at my sisters church and then me and Shaun headed out for our adventures day. After a quick trip in Lowes (if that is possible) we had to stop by to check out a side job then it was time to head to the mall. I told Shaun I think this was the first time we had been to the mall together and actually shopped. The trip was all about him anyways so he really couldn't complain to much. We finally found his outfit for the wedding and I must say he looked really handsome...his attire will be linen khaki pants and a white button up linen shirt. We did more shopping for him mostly just shorts and polos. I must say Shaun is alot different when it comes to buying clothes then the ex husband. We managed to survive the shopping trip and then decided to have Sumo's for dinner. Sushi...YUMMIE!!!! Afterwards we went to Target to pick up a few things but decided to go ahead and get somethings for the crusie..mostly just travel stuff (shampoo, shaving cream, toothpaste..you get the point). By that point my feet were screaming at me and we headed home for the night.
Even though it was a very busy weekend we got alot accomplished.
