Lovin' Life

This has ended up being such a great week! Many dear friends have visited. Lisa came down to help me with meals. She also bought me a smoothie recipe book with lots of yummys in it. Laci came up to see me and we went shopping. We took mom along too. It was a wonderful day. On Wednesday I went out to Aumiller park to watch Ruth's grandaughter, Chloe play T-ball. They are so cute to watch. On Saturday, Katie, her mom, Laci & I went wedding dress shopping in Columbus. Katie liked the first dress that Laci picked out. It looks really nice on her. So then we all went back to Laci's house and planned a wedding for July 2nd. Yes, that's 3 weeks! Eeeeekkkk. But it's ok, we are going to have it under our grape arbor at our house. I know it's kinda weird but we are going to have a pot luck meal. (Actually we changed our mind-we have plenty of people to do food) I hope people understand. Today, Gary & I rode the bike for awhile. We stopped at his sis's house to visit a bit and then stopped at Scheffler's house to see baby Brylon. He is so cute!! Kiss, kiss. So, that's my week. hopefully next will be just as fun filled! Give me a call if you want to do something...I'm up for it!

So GLAD you are havin' some FUN!!!!!

It's 2010! Time to Reflect...

Almost 18 months cancer-free...how long will it last? Such an aggressive cancer, this damn Leiomyosarcoma! Every CT/MRI I have had since my completion of radiation in August 2008 was VERY stressful. Even when I didn't realize it, "SCAN"XIETY loomed in the back of head. Knowing that I had a 50% chance of the cancer returning. Wondering if NOT having chemo back then was the right path. Since my doc's hadn't dealt with many sarcomas, did they really know the BEST treatments?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last year and half has brought me so much joy and contentment. To be a GRANDMA! Wow. I love it! To become so much closer to my family. My sis is my best friend now! My husband and I couldn't be any closer. I get to see my daughter and her family every week when I go to babysit my little Maxton. My stepdaughter moved in with our youngest grandson, Marcus, for 6 months. He is a little angel. My Mom has been so much help to me through all my health issues. My stepdad and I have become closer than I ever thought possible. He has been down the cancer road as well. My Mother-in-law has moved closer to us and our relationship has grown. And then I began working at Samaritan and have some wonderful friends! I love that place so much! It's worth the 45 minute drive.

I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!
And I know how to live it...by the seat of my pants! :)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a beer (or tequila) in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "woo hoo, what a ride"
