Been a while

It has been a little bit since I last blogged. Here's a little update on what has been going on: I have completed 5 out of the 6 chemo treatments so far. I only have 2 more sessions left. After I finish we will scan and see what's going on in there! I am so anxious I can hardly stand it!! I went to the wig store today to look at some wigs. I realized that I will soon be facing the "awkward hair growing back" stage. So, I would LOVE to have a wig for when that time comes. I just don't think a scarf is going to cut it! Or a hat!

This is not the wig I am getting, but this was another one that I liked. I did't even think about taking a picture of the other one, because I was too busy staring at myself in absolute AMAZEMENT that I had hair!! It is SUCH a funny thing. You seriously do not know what you have until it is gone. I warned the lady in the wig shop that when my mother came inside, she WOULD indeed start to cry. The lady agreed she would too if it were her child. What do ya know? Mom started bawling when she saw me with hair. It's understandable. It is just terrible to have to see her hurt for me though. :( ANOTHER HUGE THING that is going on in OUR lives right now is that we have 2 new additions to our family! That would be my moms SWEET, LOVING, and just all around AMAZING boiyfriend Craig. As well as his daughter Lakin. Both of which I completely adore. I knew from the first time I met them they were special. I knew in my heart that they were going to be in our lives for a long time. I pray for forever. He makes my mother incredibly happy. I can honestly say I have not seen her smile as much as she smiles lately. It's amazing. I love it.

I could not be happier for the both of them. I am so glad that they have reconnected, and somehow found their way back to each other. It only took a few days for me to love this guy! And his little girl! It was time for my mom to be happy. She finally did it :) She got happy! On another note, I am PLANNING on going back to school in the fall. I am still undecided on what I want to do. Which is so horrible considering I am only getting older. Not younger. Cancer really throws a wrench onto stuff. I have no life right now. Not really. Not that I'm complaining. I love sleeping for 5 days straight, being sick to my stomach, and my hair gone. Sarcasm at it's best :)No honestly though I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a wonderful family who is so strong for me, I have an amazing husband. And I have a home full of dogs and cats who make me laugh in some way EVERYDAY. Not to mention I am getting better, and responding GREAT to chemo. I have a VERY good friend who knows someone who has recently has come to the end of her treatment road. There is nothing further that they can do for her. I will not mention names because it is not my place, but I pray for her daily. It breaks my heart in half to know that she is so young, and CANCER has to be what potentially takes her life. I know God has a plan, and although I may not understand it which is very frustrating, He knows what His plan is, and I must not question it. I know that she is in the Lords hands. Anyways, staying strong, and fighting until the end!! Peace, Love, and CURES!! -Emily
