I have been enjoying my health latley :). I was able to care for one of my best friends 2 small children over the weekend while she went on a retreat (6 mos. and 2.5). They tired me out! But it was a blast to have a baby in the house again. I just want to convey how A L I V E and happy I feel right now. I am SO incredibly blessed, and loved by Christ. He has provided for all of our needs, and it's just so exciting!! I got a second opinion @ U of M on Friday.. and I will be going ahead with the radiation, which is every day M-F for 6 weeks... then I will be going back to school part time to re-obtain my EMT liscense this Sept. so I then can take the Paramedic classes next fall, and hopefully Nursing when my children are teenagers (we'll see) :).
And I think we might start fund raising for our Peru missions trip. We had planned on going in 2008, but due to the cancer I think we will be aiming for 2009, 2010! We have an oppertunity to go for 6 months as a family, how exciting!! It's exciting to see all the doors the Lord is opening for me to serve and to love others!!
If you look closly... you can see that my re-construction is going well (LOL). Although the girls are sitting pretty high right now, they will be like that until I have my implant surgery next fall. I am enjoying the freedom of not having to wear a bra WOO HOO!! I guess their are some benefit's to having cancer...lol.. Well I'm off for today, I'm in the middle of making waffles for my children who must eat every hour it seems ha ha ha.. I'm going to do my 3 mile walking DVD and then take the children on a bike ride up to the library! I still have about 30lbs. that I need to shed, so I am trying to work out as much as I can, but I am very realistic. Small changes will add up in the long term. The number one reason for long term survival after having cancer is being at a helthy weight and eating/exercising well :)!!
Blessings to you today :) Shanda :)
