I have been a fan of Peyton Manning since he was at Tennessee. So logically I became a Colts fan when he was drafted. I love Peyton and I love the Colts. I like the Saints and would normally root for them if they were not playing Peyton. I know it will be a great game because the teams are both awesome. I have to stay true to my COLTS! Have a great game boys!
GO PEYTON & COLTS!
I hope eveyone has a great holiday season. There is no better time to enjoy spending time with your family and friends. I love my family and friends!
Happy Holidays!

This year Thanksgiving was very sweet, even without the pie. Last year, Thanksgiving was at my dads. I had been sick for 3 months previous and then spent the entire day in his bedroom not feeling well. Although, the next day I didn't miss out on shopping. I never miss a year of Black Friday shopping with Emy. Carla was there to help keep me alive with McDonald's sausage burritos with hot sauce. I had the strangest food cravings.
To make a long story short, kind of. We didn't have an answer to my illness until the middle of December. I had cancer, Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma to be exact. The last year was difficult for us but we were blessed. I have a lot of family and friends to THANK for GIVING me help along the way. Without them life would not have been bearable.
After finishing chemo in June I have been in remission for almost six months. My health has been progressing and I am getting back to normal. There are still challenges but I am very THANKFUL to be alive. THANKS again for GIVING me the love and support I needed. I am very fortunate to have such special people in my life.

We love our annual halloween party given by Papa and Mums. We have a great time. Here are a few pictures of our fun!
School has started, the weather is colder and we all have colds so FALL is officially here.
Summer is my favorite time of year, most think it's too hot but for me it's pretty perfect. Don't get me wrong Fall is beautiful with the leaves changing into reds, yellows and oranges and especially the PUMPKIN PIE. All the seasons bring something new but I love Spring and Summer colors best.
I had the opportunity to walk with my family this last Friday for the "Light the Night Walk" which raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society. Our family raised over $600 which is really impressive for a bunch of poor people. Thanks to all those who donated. I received a special "Survivor" t-shirt, I was very excited to be one of the many survivors in attendance.
The last year has been a trial but I feel we have pulled through pretty well. Previously, I never had the opportunity to really volunteer at Kira's school. This year with no work and no major health issues I am able to actually be a Room Mom for Kira's class and volunteer weekly in Maci's class. I look forward to both with great anticipation. I am grateful to Ben and what he does for us so that I am able to be apart of the girls lives all day everyday.
We are a very lucky family and have a great time enjoying everyday we have.
Happy Fall everyone!
