Our stay in Matsumoto has officially ended. Tomorrow morning we will take the 2 hour train ride to Tokyo where we will spend the next two days site-seeing, swimming (my one requirement was that our hotel have a swimming pool), and shopping! I have been really looking forward to this part of our trip and I'm sure I will not be disappointed! There is a lot to look forward to in my near future (meeting everyone that means a lot to Kiel from his mission, returning to America, seeing my mom and the rest of my family (that includes Kiel's family, of course!), and decorating my new apt!) and it makes me feel that really, life is beautiful!
Mom had some blood work done and a CT scan taken to see what her cancer has been doing the past few months. Unfortunately her tumors have continued to grow and there are also a few new tumors that weren't there before. Mom has decided to start the sandostatin shots which is a "kinder" type of chemo. The horrible thing about those are (besides the negative side affects they can have) is she has to give them to herself! I don't know how anyone does that...my mom is a very strong person.
The {extremely} positive news is that her blood is 100% normal. The drs don't know how that can be since her liver obviously can function well but we are very grateful for that news nonetheless.
So now you all know about as much as I do...I wish the news was better but we'll hope and pray for that for the next test results.
I've been thinking about it for over a year now but the time has come to take my blog private. It makes me really sad because I love it when old friends find me on here and send me a message and we meet up again! But the risks aren't worth it. I'll be going private in two weeks so if you want to see our blog after that send me your email addy and I'll send you an invite. You can give me your email on here, on facebook, or email it to me: krasavitsa87@gmail.com. Thanks peeps!

16 days and I'll be eating to my hearts content a pork barbecoa burrito with a cookie in my other hand while sitting on the couch watching HOUSE re-runs and taking sips of pepsi while feeling completely secure knowing Caleb's in the other room sound asleep in his crib and at the same time looking forward to falling into my bed and dreaming of eating Golden Grahams the next morning and then hitting the malls in my Lexus with Regina Spector singing to me in the background. Ahhhhhhh the good life!
