I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in June of 2007. I did 6 months of chemotherapy and 2 1/2 weeks of radiation. At which point I was cancer free!!!! In November of 2010 I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After several months of blood transfusions and extreme chemotherapy sessions I was placed on a list to recieve a Bone Marrow Transplant. March 31st, 2011, I received the gift of life from a wonderful anonymous woman that I hope to meet one day!!

Happy Monday
I thought I would share some pictures that I took this weekend. The picture above is artwork that my niece and nephews sent me. Isn't it the best!!!
Hailey and Emmitt playing Candyland
My sister-in-law, Amber sent me this beautiful necklace and prayer card of St. Jude. I'm not sure if you can read the card in the picture but here is what it says. "May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand." - An Irish Blessing
On Saturday, I got another package in the mail. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it. Thank you so much Sandy and Larry, I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you have done.
Hope everyone is enjoying all the pics I've been posting. I would love for you all to send me some. I can't believe the girls start school on the 15th of August. Wow, summer break seemed short form them this year. I know they are both very excited to be going back to school. Hailey is going to be in 1st grade and Taylor in 5th. WOW, I'm getting old :)
Time to get to work. I gotta close those files.
xoxo
