Today is a great day! Jake and I are at chemo.  Start of the third cycle today.  My pet scan last friday shows a complete response to chemo.  FABULOUS!!!  We couldn't be happier.  Three more treatments after today and then most likely no radiation.  I feel so blessed that my body has responded well to treatment.   Prayers and love and support have made this doable.

I am still really losing hair, but thanks to a new discovery by Tiffany, I now look like I have a full head of hair.  HAHA  So funny and although my hair feels like nasty halloween sprayed hair (because thats exactly what it is)  You cant run a brush through it easily after the spray has been strategically placed on the thinning areas, but Ill tell you what,  IT WORKS!  If you were around in the early nineties you remember the infomercials with the balding men who literally sprayed what looked like a can of spray paint on balding areas.  I thought this was so funny and I remember laughing and thinking how in the hell do they think they can pull that off?!  Well I am now, "pulling it off. " IRONIC! And, hilarious. SEE BELOW....

amazing coverage

I can't  think of a better name for this product

As we speak, my dear sister, Mindy is having her fourth baby.  She has been such a support to me through all this even tough she has been tired and prego!  She is my BFF and I love her so much.  We are basically the same person- We love to laugh together and this has saved me so many times.  Never a dull moment.  LOVE HER and I cant wait to meet baby Anna. :)

The 5k run that so many wonderful people have helped organized is tomorrow morning.  I am so excited and  hopefully will feel well enough to go hang out.  Wonderful people, amazing raffle prizes and community fun.  Wear sunscreen!!! Come join us!!!

It will be a wonderful week and we are counting down til we are done with treatment.  I am so thankful for all the love and support and strength I have been given through this trying time.  I know Heavenly Father is aware of me and my family more than ever.  I feel such love and comfort knowing he is watching over each of us every day.  Things work out according to his plan, and we need to have faith that he will take us under his careful watch and protect and love us. I love you all!!  XO

Friday was my fourth treatment and it was a doozy!  I am getting more fatigue each time, not sure why.  I get sick and nauseous every time we go and every time I think about it! :( I am a major wimp!!   Father's Day fell on my birthday this year and it was a great day.  Jake is such a great father to our little gals and we are so lucky to have him.  We visited Ryan's grave before we went to a BBQ at my dad's house.  I was like a zombie but I was there in spirit.  HA!

We got all moved into our new house and it is fabulous!  It is so beautiful and we love the new neighborhood and neighbors.  Thank you to all the family and friends that helped us move.  It was difficult because Im not as strong as usual and I am so darn tired.  Jakes Aunt Lois was able to come down and help us for the week.  So appreciative for all the love and support.   It has been a busy month.  The girls went to San Diego with Gma and Gpa Wendel and their aunts and cousins.  This gave us time to get all moved and settled while they partied it up on the beach.  They had so much fun and I am so grateful they were able to go.

The 5k is coming up and if you haven't already registered, DO IT! It is going to be so much fun with lots of amazing raffle items, treats and wonderful company.   If you don't want to do race still come and hang out and support this awesome cause.  It will be a blast!

We are so thankful for all the prayer and support that has been extended our way over the last months.  I know we would not have made it thus far without each of you.  We live in such a wonderful community where people jump at the chance to help, bring a meal or just ask how we are doing.  So many of you ask about my bro in law, Tom.  He is doing well and has finished radiation.  He is at Huntsman as we speak and starting infusion therapy. He is amazing and I am so grateful to be apart of his journey.  He is in great spirits, as always and he is such an inspiration to many.  He is changing the world one blog post at a time! ;) Love you TOM!!!

So thankful for each day I am given to love my children, laugh and be able to have the health to do the things that I need to.  I have the best family and friends and I love every one of you!!
