Thanksgivin is a comin'

Im slowly learning, to roll with the punches on this trial. And I think I'm getting better at it. For one, when I do feel good -- I'm sucking the marrow out of each bone presented. Living, as much as I can (or at least I attempt to). here are some beautiful pictures, of some beautiful people.. in the last few months, that have kept me going. And that, to put it bluntly, I'm just really thankful to be surrounded by such pretty faces.

Before the trial began in October, my two dearest friends John and Tim took me on a 10 mile hike through the New England Mountains....It was right before the Trial started in September, so I had some more energy in me than I do now.









In September we got to celebrate with a few friends, at one of the last Sox Games at Fenway, and my good friend, Darrel, joined us from Ohio.













October, we had difficulties with the LBH, starting, and all of the side effects. So, in my mind, my good thoughts just moved straright towards November, in which we had a college reuinion in Boston, with most of the girls I graduated with from Wheelock.


Especially SAMMY! who just got recently engaged, and we are all thrilled for her :)
The rest of the crew



Me and Joshua - one of my best friend's husbands.

Myself and Amanda....


Jen and Joshua...
The newly engaged, Sam and Joey.

Two of my favorite girls since college,
Nik and Jen. <3


And our other newly engaged, Ms. Emily :)







Some of us the morning after.... Sometimes, its really really nice, to forget that you have this chornic cancer, that will never go away.


And just, surround yourself, with pretty faces.
There are some big changes coming up for me, if I end passing certain tests, interviews, and essays for a program at Lesley. Since, I will most likely not be continuing my Literacy Degree for the classroom teacher. I've found that, with the restritctions of trials, and my fatigue level, I needed to look into another career. One with more flexiblity and hopefully a little less time standing up 24/7.

I'll update you all soon, as things progress. But I think I will ultimately, be very happy when the beginning of January starts setting in, and I am on a path towards a Job, that I love, and is flexible for my life with cancer.

Hope you all are well, and getting ready to see your favorites on Turkey Day.
I know I am.

Sending Tons of Love,

B
