Still alive and kickin

I haven't been very good at keeping my blog up or even adding a stupid quiz since Ive been in Indiana. I have been back for two weeks now, they have flown by. I have enjoyed spending time with my family. The first weekend back was a family reunion. It was one of those bittersweet occasions. I mean, we always have fun when we get together but this year there was a shadow hanging over the occasion. My aunt, who valiantly fought colon cancer last year, just found out that the cancer is back and on her liver, she has decided not to do chemo again because she wants quality time with whats left. She says the chemo already took one year of life away from her. They are trying a new treatment though where they "plant" radiation seeds and this blocks blood from getting to the tumor and causes the cells to die. We are all praying for the miracle because we know that God is the ultimate healer but we also believe that He gives these doctors the knowledge to develop these treatments.

I haven't spent a lot of time with my parents yet because they are so busy with the wedding plans. The big wedding is this Saturday and things are becoming frenzied. Im sure my mom is going to collapse the minute is over. Believe it or not my sister is NOT a bridezilla, she is
actually being very calm and thoughtful but my mom is another story. My mom is a bit of a perfectionist.

I am supposed to take my nieces to the fireworks tonight but the forecast is for storms, so we may not get to go. The rain date is Saturday, guess I can take them then and we will all be so exhausted from the wedding that we will sleep through them...lol.

Well, I will add more after the wedding and let everyone know how it goes. I know you are all waiting with abated breath....
