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!!

First Day of School & New Haircuts
Today is the girl's first day of school. I think Hailey was up before the sun was. She got up, got dresses, brushed her teeth, made her lunch and was ready to go. She didn't care if Taylor was ready or not. I'm so glad to see she is so excited. Taylor on the other hand moved a little slower. Taylor is a little nervous. This is a new school, and she has to make new friends. I'm sure they will both do fine. Me on the other hand was balling before I even left the school. I cry every year on the first day of school. I can't believe how big my babies are getting.
Yesterday, the girls and I went and got new haircuts. Taylor just got hers trimmed up. Hailey and I went a little more extreme. It's going to take me a while to get use to mine and to actually know how to style it.
Not a lot has been going on so I havn't been online in a while. I get my bloodwork done tomorrow for Chemo on Friday. This will be Cycle 2, Day 15. I'm actually looking forward to Friday. One more treatment down, and hopefully only 8 - 12 more to go.
I am so excited for my family to be here in September. We are planning a trip into the city (San Francisco) on the 8th. Some people who will be here have never been. Josh knows his way around the city like the back of his hand. He doesn't know it yet, but he is going to be the tour guide. lol I can't wait. I haven't been to the city in months. I'm having withdrawls.
Anyway, I need to get some work done, but I promise to write more often. I hope everyone is doing well. Love you!!
xoxo

I love the hair-dos!!! I am glad the girls are excited about school, now they can make new friends in the neighborhood! We are all so excited about San Francisco, can't wait to see Alamo Square, Josh. Of course, we have to go to Fisherman's Wharf. I think a Trolley ride for everyone would be fun, too. We've never been to Alcatraz, either. Whatever anybody wants to do is fine with us! Can't wait to get there, Love Mom
Thanks for the update, and the hair looks fabulous! How exciting that you're planning a big birthday extravaganza - I haven't actually thought much about a birthday celebration. I hope people do something fun for me, I've never had a surprise party and I would love one :) And funny thing, I went to Alcatraz last year on my (our) birthday!! It was a super gloomy day and made Alcatraz even more depressing, still cool though! Oh and don't forget, there's lots of walking there, so wear your sneakers!
Anywho, hope all is well with you! Good luck with chemo on Friday!
