I am done!

I know it's been a while...well it's been months, and I so apologize for that. It has been crazy! The most important things that have happened are this:
--I had a great Thanksgiving this year, and my chemo treatment got moved to black friday so that I could enjoy all the delicious food and family on Thursday. We hosted this year. My Aunt Gail, Uncle Jim, cousin Kennedy, Aunt Kara, Grandpa Trotter, Grandma Trotter, and Bailey and Fred were all in attendance. It was awesome! My aunt and uncle came with my mom and dad to chemo. Also my mom's birthday this year was over break so I got to have fun with that.
--I had my last choir concert ever! I also had a solo, the beginning of Sim Shalom.
--I had my last round of CHEMO!!! I felt the most nausea my last two rounds, but I also could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so happy to be done. God truly blessed me! :)

 My mom and I had a wonderful day at the spa. Thank you people at Dad's work for the money to go out to the spa. We got mani-pedi's, a massage, and a facial.

 We were absolutely glowing afterwards.

 This is my Aunt Gail and Uncle Jim. Thanks for coming guys.

 Sylvia the sea lion (my cancer buddy) loves to wear hats with me.

 My friends Sarah and Becca surprised me by stopping by on my last chemo session. They brought me flowers and sprite. I have the best friends!!! I am blessed.

 My neighbors, the Dittmer's, sent me this. It is a dog made of flowers. Thanks guys!

 This is the team of nurses at the cancer center. I love my nurses, and they are all so great! 

 This is the ever wonderful Dr. Morgan. She has been so great, I can't even explain! God blessed me with a great oncologist. 

This is my bestie Sarah! We enjoyed our last choir concert on December 13th. This is us on the night of the concert.

Another Fun Weekend with Bailey and the Roommates

After hearing my good news on Thursday, I was totally excited for my weekend at Anderson University. The weekend of October 25-27 was AU's homecoming (thus the reason I went...well and I love seeing Bailey and the roommies). This was Bailey's first homecoming as an Alumni, so it was pretty exciting.

After school (and some Walmart shopping with my new, fast friend Brooklyn), I headed up to AU. Though it wasn't very far, this was my very first "road trip" alone, so it was quite the adventure for me. Once there I was surprised to see Bailey and Fred waiting for me. I was expecting them to be visiting their Goddaughter, but they decided to wait for me so I could come along. It was so cool to meet Skylar and she was such a cutie!

Bailey is so good with kids!

Look at all of the fun! I love being the photographer to capture these great moments.

Of course I had fun as well!

Fred is also good with kids...especially his Goddaughter. :)

After all of that fun, the three of us headed back to the house, and Fred left to give Faith, Khills, Bailey, and I some girl time. We tried to start a bonfire (not too much luck), we talked, and we watched Hocus Pocus. I love that movie because it is so fun! We sat and watched the whole movie while we shared our Jilly's cupcakes front the weekend before (and yes they were still delicious!)

Saturday Bailey and I went to the Alacritas' breakfast, and then we went to end part of the Booster's breakfast (my sister is a Booster Belle). We made it just in time to be serenaded. It was such a cool experience and really made me smile. After that we went to Mocha's and got some Butter Beers (no real liquor, but they were so good). Then it was off to the street fair!

At the street fair the three of us (Faith, Bailey, and I) visited some booths, got some cake pops (and I got a raven's nest...basically ice-cream and puppy chow!), and went to the Booster's booth to buy dunk tank tickets (to use later) and some merchandise (well they did...I couldn't :( ). After that the three of us went back inside to warm up before heading back out to use our dunk tank tickets on a specific person...Cameron Gamble. After Bailey took her turn at the booth, she and I got pictures in a free photo booth, caramel apples, and shared a meal of tomato soup and a grilled cheese. Needless to say I had a lot of fun at the street fair. Unfortunately Bailey had to go work, so we went back to the house. There I got to wait for more fun

Faith, Khills, and I all got a pizza for dinner; it was a fun pizza. Then we headed over to Reardon Auditorium (forgive my spelling if it's wrong) to get ready for Encore! Encore was great...good job Cameron, Faith, and Khills. Bailey made it for the last couple of songs, and then we all went to IHOP. The next day I went to Genesis church with Faith and Khills, and then I went to Khills' choir concert. It was a fun and full weekend.
