One year ago, I was diagnosed with T-ALL. Wow, what a ride! A part of me thinks, wow, I can't believe it's been a year, and part of me says, wow, it's only been a year? I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for my check-up and all of my blood work came back in normal range...YEAH!!! While I was there, I told my doctor that I was back in school, trying to get back to working full-time (I'm almost there...just 1 more hour a day), and trying to regain my strength and my "normal" life. She told me that she hadn't heard that chemo caused insanity! LOL!!! I'm beginning to think that myself. I am in my 7th week of my 8 week class and I am ready for it to be over to have a couple of weeks break before my next class starts. As of right now, I have a 4.0...(I'm only taking one class...haha!!). I just have to get through my final and I will be able to keep my A. I love my class, but it is a LOT of work!
Anyways, I know I haven't updated in a long time, but I've been really busy with all my insanity. Here's a run-down on what has been going on:
At the end of February, Rob and I took a trip to Vegas to celebrate me being done with chemo and in remission. It was so much fun! Walking the strip totally wore me out, but Rob was so great. He didn't complain when I needed to sit for awhile and he let me take a nap everyday! We ate at In and Out Burger- yum! We stayed at the Luxor hotel and were upgraded to one of the VIP suites...gold faucets, phone by the toilet suites...LOL. Our window looked straight at the Excalibur and was absolutely beautiful!
At the Steakhouse at the Venetian
Me and Green at the M&M's store
We ate lunch at Dick's last resort where the waiters are rude to you...it was hilarious!
We went to the Blue Man Group one night and then to Cirque du Soleil the next. The shows were incredible and Rob got to see his name in lights at the Blue Man Group!
On the Gondola ride at the Venetian
In March, we went to New Orleans with some friends of ours for a wedding. It was beautiful and so much fun!

And, I also turned 30...ugh!!! We celebrated with a murder mystery dinner party- a Honky Tonk Homicide! Everyone had to dress up in character and we had such a blast!
I had everything decked out in Western stuff!

And last, but not least, I have to update you on my crazy hair! I still can't tell if it is going to be straight or curly, but it is a lot lighter than it was. It is at that strange stage of growing in all different directions and sticking straight up and out and anywhere but where I want it to go, so I just have to let it be. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, my hair has a mind of it's own...LOL!!! This picture was from last weekend so it is the most recent one I have!
Well, that's about it for what I've been up to except work, school, cleaning and kids. Thank you for supporting and praying for my family for the past year. Everyone means so much to me!
