Welcome😔, to the land of the living! 

June 13, 2015 

I had the best day! Isn’t it amazing when you wake up in the morning and you have an appetite. When you crave food, when your mouth doesn’t burn and tingle, and when you constantly do not want to throw up. 

Life is good today. Being off chemo for more then 7 days is amazing.  Which is promising for the future and also makes me never want to set foot in a cancer center again.  

We went to our parish picnic and the kids were awesome! I feel like after being in infant stage for three years we are finally getting our life back.  I.e going out and being able to stay out and enjoy activities.  The kids played games, we rode the Ferris wheel with Jeffrey and had lunch.  This afternoon we headed back for dinner and ran into people we knew and had adult conversations (about cancer – I really need to find a hobby so I Have something else to talk about!) 

Then we headed to my niece, Jessica, and her husband’s house. My brother and his family were in town and we had a great visit.  Jeffrey loved running around with his cousins and I had a glass of wine!!!

To top it all off, the picnic ended with fireworks that we could see perfectly from our front yard.  Apparently Scott has watched them a few times over the last 4 years.  I assume I was inside with a newborn or sleeping from always being up with the baby!!

Nikki commentary:  what’s that country song?  Life is good today…anyways.  Hit the play button! And let’s dance!!
