Scott and I had the great pleasure of taking a trip to visit my mom last week in Bonita Springs, FL. With the kids staying at home we had a few days of quality couple and alone time. We ran every morning, drank coffee and la croix on the lanai and we had drink by the pool at 11am 👍

The best way to describe how I felt on the trip, besides missing the kids, is content and healthy. I wasn’t pregnant or breastfeeding or sick. I felt a glimmer of a new me. I had time to sit down and eat breakfast (lunch and dinner😍) and I made a point to do what I wanted. This is all very selfish. But for 3 1/2 days, it was awesome!!

Nikki commentary: 

I had my 2 yr post diagnosis PET/CT scan this morning. I had an IV that injected a dye and contrast for the machine to read. It basically pisses off cancer cells and makes them light up for the images. 

The kids got a kick of how I described my test, as I pretended to be “zoomed” through a machine that looked at my insides!! 

Now I continue to play a mental “heads or tails” game with myself as I wait for the results. Clear/not clear. I actually feel really confident that it’s clear!! Will probably have to wait the weekend but either way, I’m going to be close to my phone today!!
