I know I have been so bad about posting on here. So bad I know some people have given up on looking at my blog (sorry Kayleen!), but I realized how much I enjoy checking in on my friends and seeing how they are doing and I should be doing the same too! So I'm sorry to my friends!
This has been a really interesting start to the new year. My goal is to get back into shape and I am trying to work out every morning before work. Vic just got a new job at Boeing in which I am dropping him off at 6am, so I figure I should just go home and work out. It's been hard to do this so far because I just want to go back home and go back to sleep. I have managed to go work out a few times, but sadly the sleep option has become more appealing. Mainly because I have had a lot of stress headaches.
On Tuesday I found out that my Aunt's cancer has returned. She had breast cancer 2 years ago. She had been having a lot of pain the last 2 weeks in her hip to the point that she was not able to walk or even lay in bed. She finally decided to go the hospital for a scan and they unfortuantly found a tumor in her hip. She was then told to go home, pack a bag, and head to Swedish in Seattle. This was the day of the snowstorm, but I figured that I would be okay to go visit her. Once I got there it was snowing, but didn't seem to be sticking to much. Vic's friend was ironically going into the same hospital the next for heart surgery so he went to meet up with him. Long story short, as I was visiting with my Aunt it started to snow hard and was sticking! I was getting ready to leave when her doctor came in so I wanted to chat with him. After he left I told my aunt I had to head out, which I felt horrible having to leave her at the hospital alone not knowing what was going on. She started to cry talking about my grandma (who passed away from cancer) and how she wants to live to see her grandaughter (my cousin is 4 months pregnant). Basically it was so hard to leave! When I got in the car it was crazy out, to the point that I wanted to just get a hotel in seattle for the night! But Vic said we could make it. Once we got onto the Viaduct we hit an ice chunk. I told Vic that I thought the car was more wobbly than normal, but he assured me that it was because of the snow. Well we almost didn't make it up 520, which I never realized how much of a hill it was, and about had a panic attack thinking we were going to have to leave my car on the side of the road and walk home. We finally made to Safeway near our place when I discovered we had a flat tire which we were driving on the whole way back home! Poor Vic had to get onto the ground and change the tire in the middle of all the crazy snow. We fianlly made it home by midnight! It was a crazy night.
We have found out the my Aunt's cancer has formed in her other breast, lungs, liver, and bones, stage 4 cancer! It's tough to handle right now so I would appreciate if you would keep her in your thoughts and prayers for me. It's tough to see someone you love go through so much pain!! <3

oh hi Miss Stevie! I am the first one to comment and welcome you back to the blogging world! You know we all love you and want to hear whats going on in your sweet life too!
I'm so sorry about your aunt. I feel like sometimes I'm just holding my breath, waiting for someone in my family that I love to have something bad happen to them. I guess sickness is a part of life - not that that makes it any easier. I'm sure you will do all you can for her to make her feel loved and comforted.
love you!
I am so sorry Stevie. That is some hard stuff. Cancer sucks. I hope that she can be as comfortable as possible and surrounded by her family and friends.
Stevie, I'm glad you are back!
I too am sorry to hear about your aunt. She'll be in our prayers. I hope you can spend quite a bit of time with her. The more positive time with family and friends around, the better when someone is hurting.
