Happy 2018

I am happy to be done with surgeries.
I am happy to have some time to try to get caught up.
I am happy my kid are all healthy and doing well in school.
I am happy Ryan is still willing to work so hard so I can continue to stay home.
I am happy to only have 3 doctor's appointments (that I know of) this year!!

I am still tired and sore and having a few side effects lingering from surgery last month.
But I am getting back into life and a routine.
Only one more week sleeping in a recliner, wahoo!
Like most of us, I have a huge to-do list.
Mine goes back over three years.
Back to when my life was abruptly put on hold.
My goal this year is to get all caught up.
Pretty lofty goal, but I'm gonna try.
(That and maybe lose some weight and get healthier.)

I saw my oncologist in December and he was happy with
my numbers and everything, so I graduated to the 6 month plan.
I don't see him again until June - my 4 year diagnoses anniversary.
I joke around that I won't know what to do with all my free time.
Because usually it is spend in doctors offices.
I will have 2 more post-op appointments and then
I will be released from my surgeon's care.
It is a freeing feeling but also a very scary one at the same time.

I am super excited for this coming March.
Ryan and I have not been on a vacation,
just the two of us, since 2014.
This year I splurged.
It's all booked.
I am seriously starting to pack now.
I feel like we both so deserve this.
For 10 days we will be living it up in Hawaii.
On Kauai, Oahu and Maui.
And as an added bonus...
I get to visit one of my best friends who lives there.
Words cannot describe how excited I am!

This year is gonna be great!!
Happy 2018
