Our anniversary
Six years ago today was a eventful and busy day. JE and i got married and started our forever lives together. God blessed us with each other and our love made a child that completed our family unit. As we go through our daily lives we sometimes forget that powerful love we experience. I can still remember when I realized that i did not want to live my life without him. Our love has only grown since. We have been married for six years and four of those six i have been battling breast cancer. I can't say that is a road either one of us would have chosen but we did chose to walk it hand in hand when there were roadblocks. By circumstance outside of our hands, JE is away at a bachelor party weekend. I am sure they are having a great time without any females around to tell them what they are doing wrong! But i am thinking about him and remember our special day when we left behind our individual lives to become and even better team. Thanks for being my partner. I wish Willace and Liz a long and happy life together. And may our lake house survive this weekend!!!

been a while
Feeling pretty good today after a somewhat rough weekend. Battling nasuea (lost once or twice already!) and it feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest. I can't seem to catch a good breath. I fear the heart failure has returned. It is either that or my hemoglobin is extremely low. I guess it can hold off until Thursday as there is nothing to do except get off of the Herceptin again. The heartburn is hard to live with. I am feeling like that commercial where the woman is breathing fire. Talked with my doctor today and he said to take two antiacids a day, twice a day. (Even though the box says not to exceed more than two tablets a day!!) Despite not feeling myself, I enjoyed our time together as a family at the lake. The water is still a little nippy but it is as beautiful as ever for this time of year. Only three days of school left. Now is the time the students start to do some really wierd things. We met our new principal today. He has some qualities I like. He likes dogs, he is an ex-coach, he doesn't seem to BS and he has no hair! Those unique charachteristics can't help but make for a good leader.
