Daddy's Girl!

I was looking over my blog and I noticed that there wasn't that much about my dad, cause my mom is doing most of the writing. He is such an important part of my life and my recovery. My dad was my seminary teacher this year so he woke me each morning and we drove to seminary each day. He is the greatest seminary teacher. I was lucky to be in his class. I missed the last two weeks cause I was in the hospital, and I missed listening to his lessons. But I am super lucky to have him live at home with me and he is such an example to me. My dad knows exactly how to cheer me up. When my mom is driving me crazy, he knows when to step in and tell her to knock it off. He totally defends me, and I love it. He always knows what to do and what to say to cheer me up. He even went out at midnight and bought me a slurpee. I was hungry one night at 11:00 and he went out and bought me chicken nuggets from Wendy's. See, I have him wrapped around my little finger. My dad is always trying to make things better. He is constantly looking up things on the internet to make my life a little easier these days. He calls me several times a day to see how I am, and to tell me the new things he learned and what he wants to buy me. I just want my dad to know how much I love him. Thank you dad for loving me and for spoiling me so much. You are the best dad in the whole wide world. I love you. Kolby

    Kolby it was GREAT hearing from YOU. You are so blessed to be so spoiled and so loved! I'm really grateful for this blog. I read it FAITHFULLY!

    I was telling Brinley about your whole situation and she was really bothered by it all. I told her to make sure and pray for you. I could tell that it was really sinking in (in her young mind) all the struggles that you're going through right now. Then a little later I went upstairs when my girls were going to bed and when I walked in the room Brinley was laying there awake, just thinking (about you I'm pretty sure). When she saw me she said that her and Halle had just said a prayer for you. She said that she knelt down and that she was telling Halle that she should kneel down, too because "it shows Heavenly Father that you really mean it..whatever you're praying for you really need and when you take the time to kneel down it shows him that you mean it". She said that they both prayed really hard for you! I was so happy to hear it. I know that Brinley's faith is so strong and I was happy that her prayers were going out for you. I wasn't in the best mood when I went into their room and I left very humbled and went downstairs and prayed and cried and prayed thanking Heavenly Father for Brinley's strength and then I prayed and cried and prayed for you, Kolby! I hope you can physically feel the love and prayers that are going out on your behalf. We love you so much and we are here for you if you ever need us!...My kids included :)

    Kolby, you are so strong and a fighter! I am praying for you and want you to know what a wonderful example you are to others. It's OK to cry and to be sad. You are human, afterall. Even with that, you exude such a special spirit. Love, Sonja

A little note from me, Kolby.

I want thank Kristi and Kylie for designing these T-Shirts. At first I didn't want my name on the shirt. I really do not like having the attention on me. But, after I saw them I really liked them. Thank you Kristi and Kylie. Also, thank you so much Vicki and Dale for making the t-shirts, you did a great job. I just love them. Thank you!!! This has been really hard on me. I wish I felt better and I want my healthy body back. I miss hanging out with my friends and doing the things I like. I also do not like it when I feel sick. The blisters in my throat and mouth are gone right now, but when I take chemo again I know they will come back. It has been nice feeling good these last few days. I haven't had to have chemo this week because of the scans. It is such a good feeling to feel good again. I never really appreciated my healthy body till now. The chemo makes me feel horrible. I have no energy. I feel nauseous all the time and I get horrible headaches. They hurt so bad. I get s

ONE YEAR CANCER FREE!!!

I am beyond blessed! I finally hit my one year mark on May 22, 2012. After going through chemo for a year and waiting for the those cancer cells to be gone, I have been free from it for a whole year! I cant even begin to tell everyone how excited i am! For my one year, I did some of my favorite things. I went to lunch with Kylie at Panda Express, Outback for dinner with my dad and Gabby and then went and got ice cream at Baskin Robbins! :))

Father's Day

Today was a great day for our family. Kolby went to church. It was a challenge , but it was really important for Kolby to go to church today with her dad. She got up, got ready and she looked beautiful. I really wish I would have taken pictures of the girls with their dad, but we were in such a hurry to get off to church that I forgot. Next time I will for sure. She was pretty emotional at church. It was a lot for her to get ready and go to church for the first time in a while. She wanted to arrive a few minutes late, and leave a few minutes early. It is really hard for Kolby to see people, only because of all the different emotions she is feeling right now. She gets very emotional when people hug her and express their love and support. She loves it, but right now, she cries every time she has a new visitor or sees people. So, please do not get offended if Kolby is quiet when you see her or visit with her. It's just how she is right now, and that's ok . Everyone deals wit
