Thankful

Once again it's been a little bit since I have wrote on here... which I guess in a sense is a good thing because there hasn't been any changes in my blood work or enzyme levels. Everything is still going amazingly! I haven't had hardly any side effects at all from the medicines, of which I am very thankful.

Sometimes we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and forget the true meaning of why we are celebrating... & often times we get ahead of ourselves...

Don't forget the TRUE meaning of the season! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. I still can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It's def been a crazy ride of ups and downs. & I will be sure to write a blog on this later. But just to touch on it a little bit...

Never think you can't do or overcome something. BELIEVE in yourself. Sometimes you might not get what you want right away but believe me, good things come to those who wait. You just have to hang in there and have faith. Don't doubt yourself for one second.

Happy Fall!!

I meant to post this picture yesterday, but I forgot! Smokey is the only one of our animals that actually likes to take pictures for me! Lol.

Hello October!

I know it's been a little bit since I have written anything on here... SO I wanted to change that! I can't believe that October is almost OVER! It's crazy how fast the year has gone by. A lot has happened so far in October, so let me share some of it with you in pictures:

We saw our first ever Colts game at the new Lucas Oil Stadium!! Colts v Chiefs - Oct 9, 2011. No, the Colts didn't win, but we had a LOT of fun! Happy Birthday Dad!

My best friend got MARRIED! Oct 15, 2011.

Jeremy got a deer!!

Nah, not yet. But he's been practicing!!!

So far it's been a great fall! Looking forward to the last 2 months of the year! Only good things to come! Hope everyone has been having a great October!!

Bass Pro Shop Weekend

Picture of my family and I at Bass Pro Shop, Springfield, MO over this past weekend. It was a lot of fun and that place is HUGE! You should check it out sometime!!

2 Month Check Up

I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up on my blood work to make sure that my liver enzymes were still at normal levels and that my blood counts were still up to par. Heard back from the doctor this afternoon and he told me that all of my levels were normal! This is def good to hear, although I will still be on the same dosages of medicine that I have been on the past few months just to make sure that everything will remain stable for a longer period of time. He did say that by middle of next year that I will be able to be taken off of the Prednisone as long as things continue to go well. He also mentioned that I would have to stay on the 6mp for a longer period of time than what we had originally talked about which I am really hoping doesn't end up being true. Right now my goal is to be off these medicines completely by end of next year. Any prayers, positive thoughts, and support would be greatly appreciated in hopes that this goal is achieved.

Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Angels on the Moon

Friend on Facebook posted a few lyrics from this song. I had never heard of this band before but I really like them! You should check them out!

Thriving Ivory - Angels on the Moon

Do you dream that the world will know your name,
So tell me your name (tell me your name)
And do you care, about all the little things,
Or anything at all (or anything at all),

I wanna feel all the chemicals inside,
I wanna feel (I wanna feel),
I wanna sunburn just to know that I'm alive,
To know I'm alive (to know if I'm alive),

Don't tell me if I'm dying,
Cause I don't wanna know,
If I can't see the sun,
Maybe I should go,
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming,
Of angels on the moon,
Where everyone you know,
Never leaves too soon

Do you believe in the day that you were born,
Tell me do you believe, (do you believe)
And do you know that every day's the first of the rest of your life,

Don't tell me if I'm dying,
Cause I don't wanna know,
If I can't see the sun,
Maybe I should go,
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming,
Of angels on the moon,
Where everyone you know,
Never leaves too soon,

This is to one last day in the shadows,
And to know a brothers love,
This is to New York City angels,
And the rivers of our blood,
This is to all of us,
To all of us,

So don't tell me if I'm dying,
Cause I don't wanna know,
If I can't see the sun,
Maybe I should go,
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming,
Of angels on the moon,
Where everyone you know,
Never leaves too soon,

Yeah you can tell me,
All your thoughts about the stars,
That fill polluted skies,
And show me where you run to,
When no one's left to take your side
But don't tell me where the road ends,
Cause I just don't wanna know,
No, I don't wanna know,

Don't tell me if I'm dying,
Don't tell me if I'm dying.
