Surprise!



Cannon does surprised way better than I do. I was totally surprised, and totally embarrassed. For those of you who didn't know, (and I'm guessing by cards, texts, letters, calls, most of you already know), but Sam threw me a surprise "no more cancer" party. Planned it all, made invitations, the whole deal. She's amazing. I am very, very, flattered and humbled by how many of you have been so helpful and supportive. I can't believe how many of you drove all the way to Portland for us. Thank you. More tears of joy when I think about it. I really wish I could have sat and talked with everyone there, but it didn't seem to work out that way. I would try to express how much I love and care for all of you, but I'm not very good at the sentimental, the sarcasm is more my comfort zone.

People keep asking me if I'll keep up the blog now that the cancer stuff is done. I don't know. I don't know that my life is very eventful. It sounds like a lot of pressure to keep you all entertained. :) I have a few more check ups and one more surgery, so I'll at least keep venting until then.

THANK YOU SAM!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT MEANT TO ME.

I wish I could have made it to your party Mo, but geography got in the way. I love and miss you very much! Have fun at the spa!

Thank you Sam for putting it all together! Your invitations were very cute!

Melissa, I'm so happy for you and your family. I went to HS w/Brent and I've followed your blog a little bit, lately. You're inspirational - here's to a long and happy life :).
