In the mornings...


I often find our doggie here. Snuggled (or stuck?) between us in a tiny space that she can just barely fit her little body.

She's cute

Healthy dessert!!!


Oh my goodness I just made this and Ohhhh my goodness.

Let me first tell you, that I still hate yogurt. Yuck. BUT I've heard all of those commercials about how she stocks the fridge with key lime pie, and black forest cake etc. (well done commercials!!), so I decided to take a chance on the key lime pie.

Oh my goodness! Strawberries, bananas and key lime pie mixed...sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!! You should try it.

April showers bring BIRTHDAYS!


So now that 3 of us kids are married, and the fourth holds down a boyfriend, we celebrated 6 birthdays in April!!! So we got pizza and cake and had a little birthday party last night! Basically it consisted of basketball, food, and laughs (typical).

It was fun. I'm glad I'll be closer to family living in Idaho rather than Cali. Especially because I'll have a new little nephew soon!!!

We're off!!!


Well, this was on Tuesday April 19th. We drove 11 hours straight to Utah. Packed up the next day, saw family (picture to come), and took care of quick needs, and took off! We are now on the road to Idaho, where we will spend the next couple of years while hubby finishes school!

Here's to a new section of life!

Double Chinese


So hubby ordered pizza the other day. Put his name in double Chinese.

Upon pickup, he then proceeded to convince everyone working that that really was his name....

Liar :)

NO MORE CHEMO!!!!


The last day of chemo was April 18th!!! Last Monday really was a great day. So relieving. And the last bad/make him sick chemo was April 11. After that day, we walked in to our room to see this...Heidi had strung it up on our headboard :) loved it!!! Great celebration!!!

Chris got a blessing the day before the awful 10 hour (last one!) chemo day, and it was just the most beautiful blessing. I feel so lucky to be able to receive those, and even more lucky that chris can. Faith is sometimes hard to keep strong when you're going through hard times, but blessings really calm me and reassure me. I'm thankful for them.

So we're done!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Parrot


I swear hazel would love to be a parrot...so in the car, this position is quite common! Sitting on my shoulder, front paws on the center console. Maybe it's so she can be closer to hubby? Who knows.

Well, last round of chemo is comin up!!! Can you believe it?? LAST ROUND FOR GOOD!!! Next Monday! We are excited but also dreading :) so prayers prayers prayers por favor!!!

Today, I am here


It's 80 and sunny here in beautiful California! Hubby is out golfing with the boys, so I took a day for myself at the beach {of course with lots of sunscreen :)}

Today was glorious

Last week it was this...


So much fog we couldn't see off our balcony!

Catching up


So I haven't been very good at keeping up on this blog, sorry!! But the 3rd round of chemo went SO well!! Chris was able to get a blessing from his dad just before he was going in AND they used a different anti-nausea medicine, and hubby literally didn't get sick!! We attribute most of it to the blessing, we feel so lucky to be able to receive those.

So this is just after chemo, a very serene beach sunset, life is good
