Monday was my last official day of radiation! I'm burned, sore and exhausted but slowly feeling like I'm getting my life back. Emma also started first grade on Monday so it was a GOOOOOD day (first grade = full day school folks!). I still have pictures going back to her Kindergarten graduation, that's how far behind I am. Considering everything I've been through I hope it's understandable but I honestly hate not having the pictures up. The blog is fun for me so the fact that I'm so far behind has been eating at me forever. Radiation was actually worse for me than chemo was, probably because it was everyday M-F and literally sucked the life out of me. The only way to describe it is like being in the sun all day long, you're just exhausted. Now I just have my final chemo drug, Herceptin, every three weeks....but there are no side effect from that really so it'll be a cake walk compared to everything else. I'm also starting to play catch up on everything that I've put off....eye doctor, dentist, going through stacks of paper mail, taking the car in....all that "fun" stuff. Despite how hard radiation was we did manage to sneak in two quick turn around trips. One to Arizona to see our new little neice Madison and one to Utah to go to a college reunion with some of my friends from we all lived at Raintree apartments. Both trips were fun, I only wish we could've stayed longer!
My next item on the "to do" list is to get a new photo program for editing pictures. When our computer got the virus we had it wiped and lost whatever photo editing program we had....problem is we don't KNOW what it was! Now all we have is this Windows fax/picture viewer and well, it just sucks. So hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll start getting pictures back up, I think they're more for me than anyone else! lol
Tomorrow I'm going to St. George with a few of my college roommates for a girls weekend.....like we did last year. I'm really looking forward to it, we had a great time last year and right now I need a relaxing, fun weekend. Bring on the sleeping, shopping, eating, talking, watching movies, swimming, hot tubbing and fun!

Congratulations! You have made it through one of the hardest trials you will most likely face in your life! What an amazing Father in Heaven to give us as MUCH as we can handle knowing it will make us so much stronger, capable to take on more trials and most important closer to him. I wish I could always keep that perspective as a parent and as I go through my own trials. Love you!
St George, baby! What a good time.
