Josh & Katie's Wedding

Saturday, July 2nd started out with thunder but by the time the guests were arriving the sun was out and it turned into a beautiful day! It was perfect! Josh & Katie got married in our backyard under our grape arbor. Becky (Katie's Mom) and Laci did all the decorations as well as a million other things! The colors were white and purple. We had plenty of food. I made 18 lbs of macaroni salad. hehee. We had pulled pork sandwiches from Carles that were delish! And then all the rest of the usual menu. Katie's sis-in-law made her cake which was HUGE! We all made a great team! Everyone had a nice time!

Thanks to my brother and his sons for doing all the yard work on Friday. Thank you to Lisa, my sis-in-law, for everything she did, including most of the cleanup and dishes. Thanks to my sis and her girls for keeping the tables in order. Thanks to Lexi & Joe for being our DJ's for the night. And of course we couldn't have done it without Gary & Bill's hard work!

Congrats Josh & Katie!!

What an awesome family you have, Linda! PTL

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"
