Wow! How time flies - I hope everyone is well and life is as good as it can be!! I haven't updated this site in a very long time....my apologies. Life is very busy but that is no excuse.

Many things have happened since the last time I touched base - Matt and I were married, we got a new puppy, and I'm 10 YEARS CANCER-FREE as of April 29th, 2014!!!

With that being said, I'm still trying to heal and understand everything that has happened in my life. I never knew that it would take this long to get as far as I have come or that I would still be healing 10, 15, 20 years post-transplant. On a daily basis, I thank the Lord for all the blessings in my life and where I am today. But, I also ask for strength to live my life without fear that the cancer will one day return and stop blaming myself for what happened when it was entirely out of my control. Part of growing and healing also means putting this part of my past to the side, not forgetting it but accepting what happened and moving past it.

I'm so thankful for every single friend, family member, stranger, colleague, acquaintance...you name it, that has sent prayers of hope, joy, strength, and faith to me and my family...then, now, and for the future. It will never be forgotten and will always hold a place dear to my heart. It feels so good to be alive and I want to keep bettering myself and moving forward :)

So...I have decided to deactivate my Caringbridge website. This is a very BIG step for me and I hope everyone understands. What a great milestone, 10 years cancer-free and closure :) I love you all - thank you for all your support!

If we aren't already, find me on Facebook and stay in touch!
XOXOXOXO
