lil hippie

after a really really testy day yesterday, i came home to this. a tie dye flower with dark chocolate, wine for the weekend, yoga journal, and a homemade sign from my shell. she knew just what i needed to make things better, but she always does.

shell was in a remission for about...a few months. she is out! TN is aggravating, but we are learning to be patient with this painful disease. she is so positive about it and a trooper.

the semester is almost over and even though i love my classes i am ready! i am ready for a little break.

on a really cool note: this november is three years for myself cancer free! so exciting and i am so thankful everyday.

love to all. i never blog anymore...i will try to be better. i am just a little busy. :)

oh...my mom is having surgery in a few weeks. they are taking out her ovaries. she is having some pain in that area, and with my history her drs. think it is best. keep her in your thoughts. love to all!

happy anniversary shell

just wanted to let you know how special you are to me. it has been three years of pure joy. we have been through so much. i do not have to tell you that i would do it all over again.

you are the light for me in this world. you are my rock that keeps me solid and my ocean that keeps me calm.

i look to you when i need something and when i need nothing.

thank you for being a part of my life now and forever.

i love you shelly. happy anniversary.

summer

summer three started today and it seems like it is going to be a ton of work. i love being in school, even though i am almost at retirement age, but i will be excited to get out! i get a few weeks off before fall and i am going to really enjoy them.
super excited that shell is off next week. we are going to wimberley for a few days and staying in a cute lil cabin.
she needs a break! her tn is officially back and she needs some time to rest. it seems to get really bad when she is under stress.
we are doing really well though. staying busy and making sure that we stay out of the heat. staying healthy.
oh...and we joined a gym! we were working out here at the apartment, but it seems our apartment is letting in less than desirable people, and weird guy across the street, could possibly my new stalker! we have a few months left on our lease, and we are out of here. old man stalky needs to stay far far away from us. i honestly do think he is using binoculars, so my once light filled open apartment is now dark with all of the windows closed. sad...
we decided on twenty four hour fitness and it is surprisingly affordable. it is totally worth it just to have the sauna also.
so next time i blog...i will put up a picture of two buff little ladies, with the names shelly and sherry!

i haven't blogged in a long long while. i was taking fifteen hours of school and today...was my very last final! i am coming away with four A's and a B! Damn that one professor. i will not name names. :)

i am feeling great and have an oncology appt. coming up that i know will have great results. shelly is still taking it day by day with her tn. she is having a few complications that we are getting checked out, but i know we will make it through anything! we have been through sickness, too many moves, and layoffs. we can certainly get through small complications!

i have been so lucky this semester. i have had such amazing people around me and i am so very thankful for their support and love.

looking forward to this summer. taking six hours and working part time. it should be fun. :) i am going to try to post more often; i know people are curious to see how the shell bell is.

oh and finn...well he is finn. not aggressive anymore, but also not a cuddly little thing. just finn. hoping he will grow out of this hyper hyper stage soon. hugs to everyone.

whoo hoo. busy busy.

so the after holiday blues did not settle in this year. too busy. i started school. fifteen hours. i never thought i would have embraced it so much. i am really enjoying this process. i didn't think i could do it, but i now have all the faith in the world.

we had a busy weekend. through a surprise birthday party for my mom. she was so excited. we did it at the bowling alley. so fun. i actually broke a hundred. michelle struck out every time. that girl can bowl!

shelly is busy. she just got home from lubbock and got to meet bobby knight(sp). she was in the presidents box for the game last week. nctc and tech are becoming a general studies program together so she got to meet some really cool people.

she is doing really well. taking care of herself and trying to stay pain free.

i hope everyone else is doing well also. peace.
