Fun Stuff!
Yesterday I went to my first radiation treatment. It was pretty easy except for the mask that they strap down to my face to hold me in place. I can't really see out of it but at least I can breath. That's a good thing. Afterwards I got a pretty bad headache. My first in a long time. My doctor prescribed me decadron to help with that and the swelling in my brain. So I'll be on that the whole time I'm receiving radiation. Remember that stuff I complained about in a previous blog....the stuff that makes my face all puffy and that makes me have a big appetite and that makes it hard for me to sleep. What fun! Oh well, it's worth it. I decided to go back in time with this slideshow because I am now addicted to making them. It's kinda long, so be prepared to spend about 6 1/2 minutes watching it if it interests you. It has a bunch of wedding pictures, some from my bridal shower and a few of the pioneer trek Eric and I went on in Bakersfield where we were "parents" to a group of teens. All fond memories! Thank you all for your comments! Until next time...

Finally!!!!
I don't know how many hours my husband and I spent trying to figure out how to post these slideshows but finally, Eric figured it out! My Hero!!! Thank you lovey!!! Let's see, what have I not written about....? I don't remember if I wrote about getting a blessing from one of the Stake President members. Eric and I renewed our temple recommends and I asked the presidency member if he wouldn't mind giving me a blessing. He gladly accepted. Thank you Lew, for the wonderful suggestion! It was very comforting! The following day, last Wednesday, my mom, dad, husband, and myself met with a couple doctors at cedars. Following, Eric and I went to see the lights at the temple and do a session. It was so fabulous to be back. I just finished an awesome book by an amazing Christian author who is a cancer survivor. My father-in-law, Lew, gave it to me to read after reading it himself. It's a short book, so it was pretty easy to read. I love to read, I just need to make more time for it. My sweet mother-in-law, Lorrie is coming with me to my first radiation appointment, treatment tomorrow. I'm not too worried about it. Just not looking forward to having my hair fall out again. Oh well, just as long as it grows back I'll be fine! Anyways, I'm so grateful for all your love and prayers! I know it is helping me keep a positive attitude and feel well! Thank you!

Good Times!
Friday night Eric took me to see August Rush. A must see!! We both loved it and highly recommend it!!! My new favorite movie!! Friday afternoon the sweet wife Linda of my husbands boss took me to get a pedicure. I love my cute toenails! I picked the funnest brightest color I could find! It was a nice treat! Today my sister and her husband Andrew dropped by. While the guys played video games, we had a lot of fun and laughs taking pictures. Wow! We can look pretty scary, can't we?! It was so much fun! My cheeks were hurting and my abs were burning! The last time I laughed like that was when my mom was over and we were looking at really silly pictures she had just taken of me. Good times!! Eric and I are probably going to see Enchanted and Bee Movie so I will end my blog for now! Love you all!
Thanksgiving
I had a great Thanksgiving! Thursday we celebrated at home with Lew & Lorrie, my wonderful in-laws. Eric's brothers and their families came to join us as well as his grandma and aunt and their friends from Lancaster. We took some family pictures. We had some really good food and had some yummy dessert! It was a nice day! Friday we went to Hometown Buffet to celebrate Thanksgiving with my dad, brother, sister, and her boys. Good stuff there! Then we went back to my dad's, hung out, went in the spa, and watched a movie called Innerspace from the '80's. It was actually a pretty cool and funny movie! Saturday we headed off to my mom's in Aliso Viejo. On the way we saw a car fire. No flames but it was smoking like crazy and a cop was just arriving. We stopped at the L.A. Auto Show where my brother-in-law was working to sell tools. We walked around for a couple hours and met my dad and brother there. There were some really nice cars. My favorite was the car covered in crystals! Could you imagine getting in an accident driving that! Diamonds scattered all over the scene of the accident! We left from there with my brother to go to my moms. We enjoyed another fabulous Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks mom!
