Been awhile

It has been way to long since I have been on here.  Life is still life(IE a rollercoster)  But we love the ride!  Camaren is doing great in school, Steve loves his new job, and I love mine.  There are so many little trails and struggles but we get thru them together.   Will update more later.

Blessings from God

Yesterday I got the phone call from the drs office...and I was surprised and estatic to get the news that the body scan showed no cancer.  Why am I surprised you ask...because about one month ago we did an ultrasound on my neck that showed cancer in my lymph nodes.  Where did the cancer go??? Well I know there are those in the world that do not believe but I had people praying for me.  The first time I had someone pray and say that they knew the body scan would show clean and that God would take the cancer I just smiled.  I thought that was to big of a thing to ask for me, I know God can do anything....but I just well felt that if he gave me this it was for a reason.  I myself was only praying for peace and to be strong for me and my family.  But I know that he healed me!!!! How wonderful it was to tell my son, husband, family & friends of the power of prayer.  Thank you for all of them.....I love you all!

One shot down.

So we got up at 4am this morning to get to Missoula on time for my shot.  After that as we were heading back decieded since we were there might as well check out the mall.  But well Steve didn't know how to get there.  45 mins later I call my friend and get directions.  Spent time and money there we shouldnt have.  Then we get on the road to go home.  I am trying to sleep and open my eyes to see that Steve has passed the exit the next one to turn around was quite abit away.  Get turned around on the right exit and hit the construction, which was not that bad but someone dropped a tool in the middle of it that punctured our tire.  "Lucky "for us it was one of the few places to pull off and change it.  Then we had to drive 50 or so miles to a town going 45mph in a 70mph zone....of course most of it is one lane.  So people must have hated us(sorry).  Lucky we got a used tire for cheap and with great service at Les Scwab in Ronan.  Made it home, Steve went in to relax while I ran to work for the 3 hrs left in the day.  What a crazy week this is going to be! 

Just a reminder

In case anyone has forgotten.  I am a clutzy dork!  Went to a bonfire for Lori's daughter Ashleys 16th birthday.  And what do I do?  What only I can, I fall into the lake with not one but 2 cell phones in my pocket.  I really deserve and award people!! Luckly the cell phones still work.  And I only have a few bumps and bruises. 

So quick update.  The 28th I am going to Missoula for the first shot in my butt.....I will bring the second shot back with me to be adminstered on the 29th.  On the 30th I do my lab work and then they give me the Radioactive Iodine.  Oct 2nd I will get to finally do the scan.  Sadly until the scan I once again am stuck on the low iodine diet!! YUCK!!!! For any of you who might want to know more about why here is a good website to check out.  http://www.thyca.org/rai.htm#diet 
I swear if I could I would mainline Ranch into my veins right now......Yummy dairy.  LOL

Are you freaking kidding me.

So as I am sitting down to watch tv with my husband.  A commercial comes on and...................it for snuggies for dogs?!?!!? WTF is this for real?  I have thought that snuggies themselfs are sad.  But who the heck would do this kind of thing to their dog? 

Reason

So I have had some people ask me why I would post this information about my life.  The answer is not a black and white one.  Alot of my posting this has to do with the fact that I want to let people know what is going on.  Part of it is that I spent ALOT of my earlier years lying about almost everything.  So now I take the truth to the extreme, I try very hard not to hide anything.  And the last main part is I hope deep down that reading this will help someone else.  I know that one blog in paticular helped me to see the strength and humor that someone else had going thru this.  I am hoping that maybe someone will get the same from me. 

Yesterday was a hard day for me.  It is easy to get tired of being strong sometimes.  And I feel like I am trying so hard to put on a happy face it is exhausting.  That is the one bad thing about working the front desk.  You have to smile and be happy even when you want to just hide out and growl.  But I made it thru.  And today is looking like a great day!

Here is a bit of a text message that I shared with my friend DJ who just left me to move to vegas.  Think it will make some of you smile.  I know it made me laugh.

Hollie- Did you get there safe and sound?
DJ- Yes yesterday. Rental truck almost got rolled.  Aarons friend fell asleep.
Hollie-Wow that is scary! glad you got there.  Sorry I was distraced with my crap and didnt talk to you longer :(
