Journal entry by Chelo Canino —
Lots has been happening in Sophie and Luke world over the months since we last updated.... but I will fill you in on the big important stuff,
Luke and I got engaged on June 2nd in his parents backyard decorated in a VERY romantic candle lit dinner setting... and of course I said YES!!! I'm finally going to be Mrs. Cheney! We are so excited and are in the midst of trying to set a date and get stationed down in Florida to be closer to our family. Very exciting stuff is happening! On July 15th @ 1pm, I had reconstructive surgery done on my abdomen to correct the very large scar that was left on my belly after all the massive surgeries that I had to have in order to save my life last year. I honestly thought I was never going to be able to get, much less afford, this much needed cosmetic surgery, but my silent tear filled prayers over the months were FINALLY heard!! I couldn't feel happier and more blessed right now. All this pain that I am going thru right now is without a doubt worth every second! My end result will hopefully be the last piece that I need to feel the closest to 100%, back to my old self, as I can get... so wish me luck everybody!!
