So, I finished 5/5 CHEMO treatments.. yeah! It was a LONG day:( It happened to be my Mom's birthday and she came with me all day- I wouldn't have wanted anyone else there with me besides my MOM tho. Other people had offered to take me, but she has been there with me since day #1. And I think it just would have felt kinda.. off. She makes me laugh continually with her comments and just silly words and actions and I miss being around her. I have another 4 more treatments for Radiation and then I have a nice break over the Holidays until my Surgery on Jan. 28. It has been difficult, but I just TRY to stay positive and think that someone else out there has it worse then I do. I'm grateful for such a great support system- FAMILY, Wonderful Friends and of course Matt. I WOULD NOT have been able to have gotten this far without every single person that I love helping me, praying for me, fasting and just checking up on me whether text, emails or the phone calls. EVERYTHING helped more than you will ever know.
Wedding planning is coming along quite nicely. Finished invitations just need to get them all mailed off. Picked my colors, found my SASH (it's pretty perfect!), looked at Tuxes, found a BEAUTIFUL place to have my reception thanks to my awesome sister Raquel. I can't tell her enough how much everything means. I'm also using her talented sister Aubrey for my pictures and I can't wait for it! She does an amazing job and I couldn't have asked for things to just be working out the way that they are so easily!! :) My mom is the one who I am surprised has helped me out ALOT with the wedding stuff! With everything that's been going on, she has been the one to call me and helped me GET THINGS GOING. Because knowing me, it wouldn't have done until last minute or pretty close to that I'm sure. What would we do without our WONDERFUL Mothers?? She is something else and I have come to realize that the older I get, the more I am needful of her in my every life. I can't wait to get married. I'm a little nervous and anxious. But, it's about DAMN TIME.. GEEZ!!!! It will be nice to see friends and family and to meet Matt's family again.
JANUARY 10 2009 = Wedding, Perfect, Temple, Together FOREVER and FUN!!! :p
