Suprise two days!

   I was supposed to go sailing with my uncle, cousins, and dad little did i know Shelley, Emilie, Lauren, Andrew, Josh, Chris, Sheldon, and Danny were planning to suprise me and were all hiding in the boat. So my dad and I went down to the boat and first Emilie and Lauren popped up then everyone started coming up from below. I was so suprised and i started crying and it was amazing! We all went sailing and it was awesome! And then ate lunch at Red Robin! it was delicous!!(: And Sheldon, Emilie, and i went into the hurrican machine! Then Emilie, Lauren, Shelley, and i bought matching bestfriend panties!!! Then we went to a park and played. Then we all.went back to the hotel and had pizza for dinner and stuff and it was just really awesome!

The next day, i came back at 8 in the morning and hung out with everyone again. We wanted to go to the beach so we went down this long trail that ended up being like a mile long to get to this pretty beach where we went looking for shells and took pictures and just had fun. it was a really good day! and i love all of them so much!! and i appreciate all there support and love and they are such awesome friends!

My dad and I's Adventures before my next dose of chemo!!

First:

I went to the mall with my dad the first day i felt better and my counts were high again. Unfortunatly this was also the first day of my hair falling out and i was pretty emotional. I was pretty overwhelmed by all the people and clothes! So i just decided to go to Victoria Secrets and treat myself to some new panties and a bra! but i wanted to make sure my mom was fine with that so my dad sat outside the store and i went into Victoria Secret with my dads VISA and gave my mom a call. She just wanted me happy so she said it was fine and that i could also get a few shirts. So i picked out my panties and my bra and my 2 shirts and made my 89 dollar purchase!(:  They checkout lady was asking me one to many questions and i started to cry but she gave me a hug and reassured me that she had a good feeling that i would be okay. Well after Victoria Secrets we headed home and Taylor came over to watch Friday the 13th with me! We also went to Dairy Queen it was fun!

Second day and third day:

 I began to start loosing my hair more and so i got sort of depressed and never really wanted to leave the house. I started watching 3 hours of desperate house wives a morning and project runway too. But my dad made me leave the house so we took a trip to get makeup at the store! and to read magazines in Borders Books. It was a great outing.

fourth day: I began feeling better so my dad let me spend the day at my friend paigeys! We went to the mall and shopped a bit that was a little hard for me to do. but i had fun! then we went back to paigey's and ate our traditional meal all growing up of mac and cheese and chicken fingers and grapes and canned pears! it was great! i had alot of fun with her(:

fifth day:
My dad and i decided  to go to the beach instead of the space needle because we were getting kind of a late start and we didnt want to get stuck in seattle traffic! So we went to the beach  and looked for crabs! they are really cute and they have eyes!!!

sixth day:
Space Needle dayy!  It was really cool but a little too much on your leg time and by the time we finally got to the top i was pretty tired! But its an awesome view and ive always wanted to go up there so it was alot of fun!

Well Shelley, Lauren, Josh, Andrew, Maeriah, Jonathan, and Amy came upp to Seattle to see me!

We spent the day at my aunts house and had alot of fun!

They took me for a walk in my wheel chair and everyone took turns pushing me. Andrew was making me do wheeliess! hah Anika is still my number 1 pusher tho!(:

They had spagetti casserole for dinner and i ate that nights craving of Cheese Sticks and Jalepeno poppers. (: mmm goood!! We played 10 fingers and just had fun!

Then we went for icecream at dairy queen!! I didn't touch any doors and lauren made sure to help me in the bathroom! she turned on the sink for me and ripped the paper towels and oppened the door!
They have mini Blizzards noww!!

Then we went to the park and took pictures and played on the play toys!!

Oh my Goodness i havent posted in awhile!

Last day at home: Sunday:

Im gonna miss all of you soooo much! I love youu!

My third day of being home: Saturday:

By saturday i was getting pretty tired... but i still needed to see more friends. Soo first up.. Emilyy!

Emily came over right as Emilie and Lauren were leaving. She and i caught up for awhile and then we decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood. She pushed me in my wheel chair while i navigated where to go. It was lots of fun. Especially watching Emily crawl under the Loyd Charles fence and try to jump on the pressure spot to open the gate! hah
Then we decided to get our nails done... I wanted to get my toes done but then  Emily quickly warned me about the flesh eating disease traveling in pedicures. so i changed my mind and decided to do my fingers. We arrived at the nail place and it was kinda funny to see how many people stared.. its like they've never seen a gorgeous girl on crutches before... just kiddddingggg! anyway my nails looked super good and it was really fun!
love youu emily!

Up next was Shelley and Jessica!
We chated it up! and Jessica shaved my legs while we waited for Taylor and John to come pick us up.

Thennn Taylor and John came and got us and we went to Taylor's! We went in his boat and he made us super yummy tacos and it was alot of fun!

Also i found out im a hat person! thanks Taylor your awesome(: hahah

Well Shelley and Jess Spent the night.. and uhm theres so much to say about both of them that it would take wayy to much time so all you guys need to know is that i love my 2 bestfriends more then all the stars in the sky(:

2nd day of being home: Friday(:

1. First, my friend Abbey came over! I was pretty exhausted from my day at camp but i wanted to see as many friends as i could before i had to leave again for Seattle. We kinda just laid on my bed and caught up on all our new news and stuff. And she painted my toes for me! :D Giving me a full pedicure with the lotioning my legs, to the massaging my toes, and finally to the little flower on each of my big toes!(: It was great! I'll miss her alot.

Next.. Nikki was supposed to come over but because i had such a busy day the day before i decided to take a 1 hour cat nap.. which quickly turned into a 3hour catnap hah

2. Finally, she was able to come over. She gave me a picture to have during my hosptial time, a letter from Kyle that he sent from Florida, and a bracelet that has been with her through her hard times. It was great and i loved all of it.  We talked and cried and took some pictures and had alot of fun.

 Im gonna miss you alot Nikki Gray. I love you so much and i wanna thank you for all your support. We've gone through alot of hurt together but everytime we come out in the end as stronger friends. I love you so muchh! Stay strong and keep things going in Spokane while im gone! love you!

              Also we tried out the bald look i think we look pretty good(:  ^

3. We went to the Henry's for dinner. Thanks so much guys it was delicous. We love you so much.. thanks a billion for your support and love.

4. Emilie and Lauren came over for a spend the night. We had alot of laughs and ate a ton of junkfood but i still dont think a bag of minie snickers, redbull, powdered donuts, pringles, 3 containers of ben and jerry's icecream, and goldfish was enough. Also we watched hot rod! boy is that movie funnyyyy! hah

Because im on morphine i tend to say some weird stuff so when you mix morphine and redbull you tend to get some REALLY weird stuff outta me. So during the night i would wake up every once in awhile and say something really crazy to Emilie. Infact one time when my mom came in to check on us i told her " everything is fine mom, i got emilie on a leash so its okay!"

well anyway yeah we woke up in the morning and eat icecream and took pictures till it was time to leave..

and now i miss them both ALOT! and can't wait to see them as soon as possible!

i love youu guyss more then anything! come see me soon!

pictures of camp day!

My Weekend at home: Thursday:

Thursday: Campppppp!!!(:(:(:(:



Thursday i was able to go to Riverview Bible Camp for the day and see my friends! It was a great and emotional day. I recieved a camp shirt with all my friend's from church's signatures on it. I loved it. We spent the day watching volleyball, catching up on all the gossip, watching people get blobbed, screaming and singing into the camp owners microphone, laughing, and just being with everyone.

Toward the end of the day, the whole Shiloh Hills Youth met by the bonfire to pray for me and my cancer journey. It was amazing and pretty much everyone cried. I really realized how many people actually care about me and how strong our church family really is. A few of the guys shaved there heads to show support for me and that was really special. and yeah i just wanted to thank everyone who was at camp and who shaved there heads and just tell you guys i love you so much and miss you alot!



A few pictures from the day!
