I had a couple of dear friends from our last ward come and visit me today. Krista brought me a plaque to hang in my room, "I Can Do Hard Things", it says. Isn't that amazing? I have a perfect spot for it, at the foot of my bed (in my temporary bedroom) where I will see it every minute I'm in there. Last night after Glenda said that to me, I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool to get the phrase in vinyl lettering or something and put it right there (at the foot of my bed)?" Thank you, Krista, for following your heart and doing that for me. I was also able to talk to Karen. She was our RS President, always ready with a smile and a hug. I've always loved her and was so grateful for her visit today. She is always so willing to help with whatever she can, and she did that for me today.Thursday, December 31, 2009
New Years Eve!
The day I was discharged from the hospital, the nurse said to me, "2011 is going to be such a great year for you!" (referring to no more treatments, surgeries, or cancer) What?!? That is a whole year away! Here we are in 2010. Two months ago, I wouldn't have imagined I'd be where I am today, awaiting more surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy and all of the side effects that come with them. Craziness. But what do you do? Throw in the towel? I don't think so. I have alot to live for, I have alot left to do in my life, I have 4 kids and a husband that aren't finished with me yet!

We went to our friends tonight for "dinner" (if chips, dip, Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, sushi, shrimp cocktail, Hoho's and DingDongs can be considered dinner! She made BBQ beef for sandwiches and had a vegetable tray too, but there was still quite a bit there when we left at 10:30 tonight : ) ). We made up our own version of Mexican Train Dominos because the instructions were too long. I don't have the patience for that! We played for at least two hours and had a great time with them all. Thanks Esther, Beck, and Mish! Maddie stayed to play until after midnight, the other kids are home and in bed. It's after 11:00, my back is killing me, I need to go massage the lump in my belly, load up on more pills, and go to bed. Hope you all had a fun night tonight!! Happy 2010!
