Need Prayers

Can everyone please take a moment and please pray for my step mothers sister Lisa. She just recently found out that she has breast cancer. Please pray for her strength to beat this ugly disease!!!!!!

Sad Day

I found out today that a customer of mine and the grandfather of a friend I graduated with just recently found out he has Melanoma and he's already at a Stage IV. This breaks my heart. It's already traveled to his brain and lungs. I feel for her and her family. She did say he is going to Houston for treatment which is wonderful, but I hate that this horrible desease has found someone else to bully. It's NOT FAIR!

Do I really have a 9 year old?!?!

I've been sitting here going through old pictures and came across baby pictures, or younger pictures of Brayden and I'm just amazed that my baby is 9 years old already. Everyone always told me to enjoy it because they grow up so fast. Man were they SO right!! I'm so proud of the wonderful, awsome, intelligent, young man he has become :)











I LOVE THE PICTURE. THIS WAS TAKEN AT OUR WEDDING








HIS FIRST HALLOWEEN (AWWWWW)

Relay for Life

Lastnight was our local Relay for Life. I had to pull my team out during the middle of it because I started my treatments and was not going to be able to handle everything. But we did raise a good about of money before I pulled the team. I did get to go and participate in the Survivors lap and also walk with my Mom and Brayden in the Caregivers lap. Wish David could have been there but he was working. Anyways I got a few pictures from the very short 30 minutes we were there. But I'm so glad I got a chance to be a part of it. I was thinking about going back when they lite all the candles but I decided not to go because it would be too emotional for me since I'm actually STILL fighting the cancer. So here are the few pics I got. I know I look like crap, but I was glad to be there and I'm glad I made it around the track with out falling over HAHA!! :)

2 Down, 4 To Go!

I'm finally home!! We got home around 6 o'clock yesterday and I'm just now crawling out of bed. It felt so good to sleep in my own bed and to be home with my family. So I finished my second round of treatments. I can tell you know this round was a lot tougher than the last. I did 5 rounds this time(6 last time). The sickness started with the first dose, so that made it worse. I was so nauseated this time, actually got sick a couple times YUCK. I'm telling you this stuff they are putting in my body is absolutely horrible! Just think about having the Flu X 1,0000000!!! Yeah it's not fun. After the 5th dose I started getting that hard to breath feeling like I did the first time. Plus my pulse was so high that they decided to stop. They talked about skipping a dose and continuing but I had to tell them I couldn't take anymore. No questions asked, they stopped. I'm so thankful to be going to such a wonderful place. They take really good care of me. I got out on Friday, it couldn't have come any sooner. Me and that stupid hospital bed were done with each other by that point! HA! I couldn't sleep the last night there so I asked for something to relax me because I kept getting like muscle spasms. I just kept tensing up and it was so uncomfortable. I guess what ever they gave me worked cause I was out! My uncle Kevin and Aunt Teresa were up in Houston to attend a concert so they came by the hotel room to visit. I was so glad to see some familiar faces and visit. I just hope I didn't scare them to much looking all funky HAHA!

I was so glad to see Brayden yesterday. I had missed him so much. He got to go stay with his aunt Rachel in Dallas for the week. She has 3 boys and they all just love to play with each other. Whenever they come down Brayden is always at his Grandmas with them. He said he had a wonderful time. He told me they got to go Ice Skating and to the Aquarium, I'm so jealous!! Thanks so much Rachel for letting him come visit, I know he had a wonderful time!!!

So today I'm just trying to rest. Thought I'd get on here for a minute to update everyone on how things went. I'm feeling okay today, just tired and weak. And I have a horrible headache. Other than that, I'm doing good. I'm just so happy to be home with my guys. Davids home YAY!! He's cooking me a homecooked meal right now. I'm starving! I figured he'd get called out, but they didn't put him on the job today. After him working 90 hours last week I think he deserves so time home.

I ask everyone to keep my Papaw (my moms dad) in your thoughts and prayers. Mom called this morning and said that my Nanny had to take him to the emergency room lastnight. He's had the Flu for the last couple days. The Flu at his age scares me to death. I hate that I cannot go and be with him, it really sucks!!!! Papaw I just want to let you know that I may not be there in person, but I'm there for you in thought. Get well soon!!!
