An Update

Sorry not sorry, I've been horrible at updating my blog this summer.  Honestly, I've just been busy.  Busy at the pool.  Busy running.  Busy in Florida.  Busy going on sno-cone runs with Mason.  I've been busy LIVING and LOVING life.

I'm feeling fantastic.  I still am getting treatments at the cancer center every three weeks, but other than those few hours, and when I put on my swimsuit to see my forever perky boobs I don't think about cancer much.  I didn't realize how much my thoughts were consumed with it until I started feeling better.  Goodness, worrying was basically a full time job.  Proud to say I'm in 'retirement' at least as far as the cancer worrying is concerned.  Feeling blessed!

Oh, and I am loving my little pixie cut!  My husband has always preferred long hair, but I'm thinking I may keep the pixie cut awhile... It's SO easy and I actually get a lot of compliments on it.  And, admittedly a couple of stares when my sister and I were walking down the beach hand in hand.  Let's just say, we no longer were easily identified as sisters...

We took a family trip to Florida and enjoyed a week at the beach with my husband's entire family.  Mase had a blast playing with his cousins.  Thanks Nannie and Poppy Snyder!  

This smile!   

As you can see, the kids didn't like the beach one bit.   

The required family photo on the beach in front of a sunset.  Richard was putting up a bit of a fight, but I pulled the cancer card and he finally submitted. 

This picture makes me smile, big! 

We've spent many hours at the pool with friends this summer. 

These kids ~ We are so blessed with wonderful friends here.  Our kids don't just play together, but our families genuinely care about each other.  Our village here in Lake Ozark is absolutely amazing.  

My friend Kristan went to a treatment with me.  My cheeks hurt from laughing so much that day. 

We told Mason to get dressed and we would go get a son-cone.  He came out in this.  He even kept the mask on as he was eating his sno-cone.  Goodness, I love this kid!
