Last step!

After 13 months of my life turning upside down, I can FINALLY see the light at the end of the tunnel! My LAST surgery is scheduled!!! While this journey will never be quite "over" it's a great feeling to have my final surgery scheduled.

Last year the holidays were different to put it nicely. It wasn't how I wanted to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years, but I didn't have a choice really. I am really looking forward to spending the holidays this year with a renewed outlook on life and with family. For some, it's the only time of the year where we see them and last year we missed out. Having two families that live so close to one another is a blessing and a curse all at once... But the holidays are the one time I am so truly grateful for being able to spend time with everyone... Even if it does run Colin and I ragged.

In other news... It's Breast Cancer Awareness month and I have become, well you could say, famous. I was featured in the "pink" section of a local newspaper this past Sunday where I did an interview of my experience with breast cancer at such a young age. It was great to be able to share my story in the hopes that it helps someone dealing with this awful disease. That's what I hope about this blog too, that me sharing this experience, both good, bad, and ugly, will help someone in some small way. I try to be real and honest, because it's definitely not all sunshine and pink ribbons... It's so much more than that! Here is the article with a photo of my sweet baby boy and me!


Also, and this may be the most exciting of all... I was one of the survivors selected to attend the Browns game this Sunday!!! AND I get to go ON THE FIELD 😁! If you can't tell, I'm super excited for this opportunity. I am a life-long Browns fan and this will be my first game, so I'm hoping they can pull of another win this week (yea I know, it's the Browns 😂).


Well, until next time...
