I think I'll go to Boston..

Cancer Warrior Updates:

Before I begin rambling about myself. There are a few individuals I wanted to call attention upon. Some cancer warriors, to be proud of and send wonderful thoughts to.

My love, Michelle -- had her nine month post scan a few weeks ago. After undergoing eight months of chemo last year, she is still clean, more beautiful than ever, and just completed her first year of grad school!

My PA sweetheart Scott -- is undergoing an allo transplant this week. He received his cells last Friday, and is knocking down this treatment, one day at a time and doing an a=mazing job.

My SCT sista Darcy -- God love this woman, she's moved from Mexico to the US, to not only have one dose of chemo, but go through a stem cell transplant, like myself. Her re-birthday will be this weekend or early next week!

my sweet Darrel ;) -- who not only had clean scans on his one year mark of transplant, but just completed his first year of grad school, and a huge recital, all within the last few weeks. Have never been more proud of a friend in my life.

And, last but certainly not least, Wullie and his sidekick Veronica -- just received his one year post transplant scans, and his scans were completely clean as well. Who knew one year olds could be so cute?

I always feel so honored, to know I am in the company of these wonderful warriors. And, I definitely, don't say that enough.

So I think I'll go to ...Boston

After passing day +30, last week. I finally feel as though my energy level has skyrocketed into another dimension. And it's wonderful. So what else is there to do, when you have energy?

LIVE and go to the best city in the world...

I packed my bags last week, and drove the six hour hike up to Boston. To see all my beautiful friends and some past coworkers. A three day trip, has turned into seven days, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. I've been filling up my days, with looking at apartments, soaking in the city in my old stomping grounds, and nights with the loveliest people in the world. And once again, I've fallen in love with this incredible city. Plus the celtics are about to beat the lakers for the championship -- what better time to be in Boston?

LOTS of things are still up in the air for the fall. Except, knowing that I'll be back here. Probably sooner, than most think. At this point, I'm halfway through my masters degree in Literacy (for Elementary Education) at Lesley University... which I'd love to finish within the next year. I am qualified for some part time positions in Boston School District (if I decide to continue on with disability), and am beginning to pursue full time teaching jobs in the district as well.

I have faith, that things will fall into place. And if they don't -- I'll make them :) I'll make it all work. Somehow. Emotionally, Physically, and even Financially. I'll make it work. For now though, I am incredibly happy that I have these issues to worry about instead of transplant, cancer, pills, chemo, and the world, I'm leaving behind for the second and hopefully last time.

Seems the clouds have finally parted, kids.
The sun is definitely here.

Bekah's back :)
