A Little of the "Normal" Life

Hello out there!!

Well it is March of 2007. Things could not have been going better. Chemo was a breeze; thank God. I was on cycle 4 of 6. My scans were showing that the chemo was working!!! It was time for a vacation. Spring Break with my best college friends.

My roommates and our crew went down to Daytona for a week. I was in a much needed break from the hospital. This was one of the best vacation ever. I had never done anything for spring break before so it was exciting. We found this great bar that played reggae music, that was where we hung out most nights. The flower was from Dan. We ran into the baseball boys who were on their spring trip. I was away, free of all hospital thoughts, it was a blast.

My friend Shirley was pregnant!!!! What a miracle. Shirley being pregnant was my hope for one day being able to have kids. This is something that has been in the back of my mind since they first told me. Though I am not ready now, I will someday have kids with Dan. I know that there are many ways to have kids, but really nothing can beat having a baby that is both you and the one you love.

Baseball season is always the hardest. Dan and I don't spend a lot of time together as it is with out schedules, baseball season just keeps us apart even more. This season was particularly hard because I was not at school. I really never like being away from Dan for periods of time. I am not an over-the-phone kind of girl. Luckily with my cycles of chemo, time goes fast.

I will be done soon with chemo and able to move on with my life.
