PART II of PLAN B

I wanted to check in and let everyone know what is going on.  I think daily about writing, but am no longer sure anyone but my family cares to hear about my crazy life!!  Four kids, a husband and our 90 lb Giant Schnauzer Jax, keep me hoppin, but I'm not quite sure we're not "Pop News" material quite yet! We may have been in for a close running this past year.  WOW, could we have added anything else to our plates?  It's hard enough to be in your seventh year of marriage with kids in a normal situation, let alone with cancer, no job, building a new office, in a down economy when you can't get rid of properties. Bring it on baby!!!!  Thankfully, the chemo put me in enough of a fog most of the time, life seemed and felt pretty normal.  HA....normal, yeah well, that's what heavy doses of any drug will do to a person, distort their reality!!  Whatever it took I guess, it definitely made us stronger, wiser and more thankful for all that we have!  This isn't to say all life problems are solved and we'll live happily ever after.  Life always seems to throw us curve balls when we least expect them, but with a solid foundation and faith, nothing can shake the coconuts out of the tree!!

So onto the next new adventure.  I am slowly healing, but mostly realizing that the bad habits, relationships, and life I might have led before cancer are better left in the past.  If the things I do, people I befriend and places I go don't help grow me to be a better person, than my energy is better spent somewhere else.  Letting go of the past has not been easy.  It has meant facing ugly hurtful places, in order to grow and change myself.  There are so many beautiful souls in this world that can feed me, fuel me and help me become who God intended me to be!

So I'll check back here and there to fill you in on all the Price details!  Whether it be soccer, piano, dirty diapers or mad chaos, there is never a dull moment at the Price house.  I will also be starting a new blog called Be Healthy  very soon, so stay tuned.  This is the next chapter in my journey with cancer!!!!!  I'll have everything from recipes to health tips to my two cents worth, if it's even worth that!!=)

Kim we still check in from time to time to see how things are going. Bryan and I have daily prayer time together and you and your family are always in our prayers:)We love hearing the stories of the chaos. It makes us laugh only because we have and still are there in complete chaos most of the time. But I am sure you would agree with us that the crazy days with the kids are what gets us up and keeps us moving and (young). Take care! We love you. Ann and Bryan

Can't wait to see your Be Healthy installments and still get updates on how the family is, too. I keep intending to call but always second guess the timing...one of these days, though, I can't wait to get caught up!

Your writing still makes me feel like I would like to know you better. Do not knock yourself down about a past that is gone. You are a beautiful person and a joy to read what is happening with your life now and your family. Keep up the joy you have hopefully found in your life. You are loved!!!
