As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.

Aloha! We're Celebrating!

Not wanting to get our hopes up, we hadn't got around to planning a ParTay for my last day of treatment. But since it turned out that we are officially DONE today, we decided to take our little family out for dinner to celebrate our success!
Recently, Brett and I had gone to Texas Roadhouse with our good friends, the Cooks for a double date. We loved the sweet potatoes and rolls and well.... everything, so it was the perfect opportunity to go again and not feel guilty. LOL
Our waiter was from Hawaii and he was awesome! Every time he came to or left our table, he said "Aloha!" And of course, Brett (and eventually all of us) would respond back rather loudly. He had a fun, tease-y personality just like us and we had a blast! And the food was just as good as last time.

{SIDE NOTE: One of my favorite parts of blogging for me is coming up with fun titles to use. I knew for this one that "Aloha!" would be part of it. But I wanted to know exactly what it meant. I did a little searching and guess what I found..... Using Hawaiian language grammatical rules, aloha translates literally as "The joyful sharing of life energy in the present" or simply "Joyfully sharing life" or "To consciously manifest life joyously in the present." Oh my heavens!!!! How perfect is that????? I love coincidences like that! AWESOME!!}

Of course we didn't want the night to end without documenting our new friend and our little ParTay so we asked for a picture. He was a little nervous because he didn't want it to end up on facebook. (See once again a perfect coincidence since we are not face-bookers. LOL BUT he must have jinked it because every picture we took with him in it- the flash wouldn't work. Too funny! The last one, he ended up taking and it worked perfectly. Go figure!)
Once he had agreed to allow us to photograph him, he ran to grab someone to take the picture. He came back with not one but two people. One to take the picture and the other to be in it. She was way fun and bubbly but we were confused why he had brought her until... we found out she was the Owner. How fun is that? She had stopped in to pick up dinner for her family and since he was excited for our celebration he invited her to be a part of it. After the picture, she stayed and visited with us for a bit. Then she told the kids she was going to go get them a gift. She came back with some fun Texas Roadhouse toys. They were so excited! She also brought back a gift certificate for a free Dinner for Two so that Brett and I to come back for a date night. How extremely generous! Thank you so much! Fargo has such amazing people. What a great Celebrate my Last Cancer Treatment ParTay! Wahoo!

Glory's Prayer

Sweet little Glory offered up a heart felt prayer for me tonight. It went somthing like this:
Dear Heavenly Father...
....Thank you that the ouchie on Mom's boob can go away. And thank you Mom's boob can be cut off and she can feel better. And thank you we can have a baldy mommy and she can have her hair grow back. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Thanks sweet baby. Just what I needed. LOL!
