As of May 25, 2011, it has been 11 years since my last chemo treatment. Can you believe it?? I think about all that has happened since that time and I can't imagine what life would have been like for those around me. I know what my life would be like.....dead and waiting for my family and friends to join me; maybe even be spending time with my relatives who have already passes away.
I am so grateful that I am alive today. Everyday I thank my Heavenly Father that I am alive to have the experience and opportunity to live today. I hear people complain about the weather, I do as well, but as soon as the thought comes into my mind it leaves just as quickly because I remember that I am alive. I get to live today. I have made some great new friends and have been able to get in contact with old friends.

St. George 2001 for a soccer shoot out, so much fun
Here are some photos of what I have been up to these last 11 years. Of the above photos the last three were taken about 8 months after my last chemo treatment.Shooting...oh how I want to go this summer
These photos are not in chronological order, sorry, but they are things that have happened in my life. Family graduating college, family reunions, spending time with my nieces Shae and McKayla.
