Between the sun and the sea and in this peaceful p

Between the sun and the sea and in this peaceful piece of paradise, we have started to turn our wounds into wisdom. We have started to dream again. We have started to make plans to rebuild. We have started to heal.

Even here, we are growing. Together.

I love you, Dustin. We’re going to be okay.

After a year of cancer scares, two CT scans, one M

After a year of cancer scares, two CT scans, one MRI, countless blood draws, and devastating news regarding our journey to have kids, it’s feels damn good to have good news to share today.

I am 15 years cancer free. I have officially lived half my life as a cancer survivor. That’s a win I will happily take and happily celebrate.

WBC has come back within normal ranges. I’m still severely anemic (to be expected right now with everything going on) so I’ll be going back for an Iron IV Transfusion on Friday to try to help my body catch back up after a hard few months of periods. Lymph nodes feel normal. Lungs sound good. Leg looks solid.

For 15 years, this body has fought to keep my cancer away. And despite all that we’re going though now, all’s I feel is an immense sense of love and gratitude for it. She has worked hard to keep me alive and as healthy as possible.

We’re on the same team, my body and I. And now it’s my turn to fight for her and get this toxic organ out and get healthy again.

On to the next year.

Today, we met with the kindest, most knowledgeable

Today, we met with the kindest, most knowledgeable doctor to discuss my MRI scans and my upcoming surgery. He spent over 50 minutes showing us my scans, answering our questions, and making sure we had all the information and options to make the best decision for us.

Leading up to this appointment, I was nervous and so so sad. Going to see this doctor made the news of my MRI real and scheduling a hysterectomy creates a finality to our journey to get pregnant ourselves. I kept wondering if I was jumping the gun too soon - and that maybe I was giving up too easily on getting pregnant.

But then we saw the images from my MRI today - and saw just how large the adenomyoma is. We heard a second doctor tell us that it was in operable. We talked about how I have been bed ridden almost every day for a month due to severe pain and how this has completely wrecked my health and my quality of life. We validated my experiences and discussed my wish for a life that doesn’t revolve around my uterus.

And so we have decided to move forward with a hysterectomy so that I can focus on getting healthy again. So I can live my life again. And even though this was an impossibly hard decision to make and even though this isn’t where we thought our infertility journey would lead us - I feel a sense of peace that this is the right step towards healing the wounds the last four years of infertility has left us with.

There is still so much to grieve. Still so much process. But I still have so much to live for - and my uterus may have stolen my fertility but I will not let it steal my life.

Last night, @halecentretheatre treated me and my brother and sister to a showing of Guys and Dolls. Not only was the show fantastic and the cast extremely talented, but I had the best time with my siblings and loved being able to escape the stress and heaviness that I’ve been feeling over the last few weeks.
I do not take my relationships with my three younger siblings for granted. I’m so extremely lucky to be so close to them and grateful to have them to lean on. We laughed until we cried, we sang along, and we recounted the memories of our middle school doing this play years ago.
Moments of joy. I’m clinging to them and they carry me through.
10/10 recommend checking out Guys and Dolls if you need an escape from life for a few hours. It’s seriously so well done.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for Your messages, your love, your texts, and your sweet gifts. We are humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love we’ve received and words cannot begin to describe how much it has helped us feel not so alone. I know I haven’t gotten back to everyone yet, but know that we’ve seen and read every message.

We’re still processing the life-changing, devastating news we received last week, but we’re doing our best to find pockets of peace and moments of joy. We’re clinging to each other and to our families (both of our parents, by some tender mercy, already had plans to fly out for this weekend.)

We’re doing our best to smile between our tears. I can’t say it’s okay yet, but I can say we will rise to meet this challenge, together.

Things I’ve learned about friendship recently:

Things I’ve learned about friendship recently:

✨Some valuable friendships can be built in a matter of weeks. Sometimes you meet someone and just know that you’re meant to be good friends and that is the best feeling in the world. It’s okay to lean into that, even if you are still recovering from recent hurts.

✨Real friends give you the benefit of the doubt, they never assume the worst in you, and they show up for you without expecting anything in return. If you constantly have to defend yourself to someone, or feel like your being misunderstood, than it might be time for some distance.

✨ Sisters are amazing best friends. That’s all.

✨ There are some friendships that are only meant for a season. It can be hard to understand why those friendships aren’t meant to last, but it doesn’t do you any good to dwell on them. And it brings you more peace to just be thankful for the good times than to dwell on the hurt. Do your best to let go and move forward

✨Some friendships, however, are lifetime friendships. They are the friends who shave their heads when you loose your hair at 16 years old and have cancer. They are the friends who offer you a safe space to vent or cry when you need a sounding board. They are the friends who randomly bring you cookies, or take you to target, or Venmo you some money when you have had a hard day. They are the friends who show up at your door unannounced after flying across the country because they know things have been hard and you need a hug. Those are friends worth holding on to.

Happy #nationalbestfriendsday to my amazing work family, @kenzie_peach and @chex_escobar and to my best girls, @blondeandambitiousblog and @ericaligenza (can’t wait to hug you both in October), to my sisters @aplumb580 and @kdavis1296 (we need a recent photo of us, please and thank you) and to my lifelong best friend forever, @dustincarr_. The last few weeks have made me feel SO grateful to have such an amazing support system in my life and I just wanted to tell you all how much your love and support has meant to me.
