Uno Mas!

Alex decided to be the
Wolverine for #3

Yup, one more to go for my rounds of AC!!!  My #3 visit was extremely entertaining. I had Danielle and Cameron with me. At one point I asked for some saltine crackers (they help with the nausea) and they got the great idea to keep me busy watching them have a contest as to who could eat 6 crackers in less than 1 minute. I have it on video but will spare you the gory details. Cam completed the task and as for Danielle? Let's just say it involved a nearby trash can and it wasn't pretty! It was certainly entertaining! Afterwards we went to La Jolla and had lunch at The Cottage and then some beach time for my Rosary. We had some beautiful peaceful time together and I will cherish it always.

#3 good to go!

Then off to Escondido because Danielle was picking up her new leased car to drive home! It was probably not the restful day I needed but I certainly slept well last night! Joe has been gone all week and comes home tomorrow and I hate to tell him how well I slept alone in the bed! lol

My last AC treatment will be the day after Thanksgiving. That means I will feel pretty good on Thanksgiving and should be able to enjoy the meal BUT it also means that my after treatment nausea will keep me from enjoying my favorite part..LEFTOVERS!! I am sure I will still choke some down, just in small increments! Confession, I love cold stuffing!!

Blessings

This whole thing has been and continues to be such a journey for me. Finding out so much about myself, about life, deepening my faith and relationship with God. As with all journeys, new horizons and discoveries come along the way. I have reached a spot right now that I have been getting into talking with God verses always praying and definitely not praying as many "written" prayers but prayers of my own. So many "written" prayers seem to focus on dying and right now I am trying to stay strong and fight to live. To trust in Him and have faith in His healing. I know God's Will will be done but I do believe it is my job to believe that through Him all things are possible and that we must ask to be able to receive. I feel like through this time the "old Beth" is coming back to life (hopefully just the good parts of old Beth). I feel like I am dealing with things better and being able to find more peace with things. I also feel like I am not just trying to get through a day but live it...and to its fullest with so much more gratitude. I have some huge decisions ahead of me and I am just letting God take it all for now. I know that He is pointing me in the right direction along this path and on December 9th when I meet with the surgeon one last time I have faith that the right decision will be made...and I will have peace with it. So many of you have let me know that you really like it when I get specific about what I would like you to pray for. With that in mind, I ask for continued prayers that my tumor/s will be NED (no evidence of disease) at the time of surgery. And I pray to see God's clear signs about my surgery decision. I also would love for you to pray for my surgeon that she too will be directed by God with what is best for me. Thank you my prayer warriors, I truly feel all of your prayers!

I love this picture of Cam coming out of the cave with the sea lion behind him in the opening

 Beautiful day in La Jolla with these two, I am so blessed!

Danielle and her new ride!
