The worst is over or it only get's better from here...

Over these last few months I have been through a lot and it was hard. There wasn't anyway that I could have made it through without the love and support of my friends and family. I like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who was so great through this cancer adventure. I am so blessed and I have learned so much about myself. I know who I am, I believe I can handle anything as long as I don't have to do it alone, I know there is a God in Heaven who is very aware of me, I know that I can turn to the Lord with anything and be understood, I know that I am more loved than I ever could have imagined and I know I will be alright.

I have started back to work- at the same job I had when I was first diagnosed. I love it there. The people are so great, the job is interesting and I have a lot of fun. I am still the same old person I was before this, I still get stupid in front of the really cute guy. But I am stronger. I couldn't have done this alone. Thanks to my wonderful family who was perfectly supportive and I feel so much closer to each on of you. I am grateful that families are forever. Thanks to all my friends who gave me the time, space and support I needed. I love you all.

Today is a day to celebrate!!

So, it has been forever since anyone has posted and from all of us, I apologize. However, today is a monumental day. It is Kristen's LAST CHEMO DAY!!! We are so excited for this crap to be over with. SO, Kristen, way to go, you've been a trooper through all of this and we love you. So, everyone keep checking back cause in the near future we will be having a party to celebrate the end of the chemo and we want all her friends and family to celebrate with us. It will most likely be on a Saturday evening, and it will be a open house kinda thing. Ciao!

Lets give 'em something to blog about

Well, we had a great weekend. Our garage sale was very fun, hot and successful. We're glad we could help Kristen. We had tons of help and tons of people came, and tons of people donated tons of stuff!! Thanks so much to everyone who helped in every way. Whether it was buying stuff, or donating stuff or just being there, we really appreciate it all. The garage sale was accompanied by some really great news. Kristen got the results of her tests from last week. The spot that was found in her lungs is no longer there!! There are only a few "mini" spots that were found, and that means she finishes her chemotherapy in September like we had all originally planned and hoped for. She only has three more treatments and no radiation to follow. Yeah!!! We are all so excited and so relieved. She was so shocked, she had prepared herself for the worst news, that the treatments weren't working at all. We are so blessed and know Kristen is being watched over. Thanks again for everyones help this weekend and for all the paypal donations!!

Its not too late!! If anyone has some stuff for our garage sale, bring it on by.

Thanks in Advance!!

Here is another way to support Kristen. Every little bit helps and is TRULY appreciated!!

We Need Your Help

Kristen is an absolutely amazing person. A person so full of love and kindness beauty and strength. She has been a rock for so many people and has touched so many lives. Now WE have the chance to return the love that she has always shown to us. There have been many of you that have asked what you can do to help Kristen while she is fighting cancer, and so, here's your answer. We are having a yard sale/fundraiser to help raise awareness about Lymphoma and to help Kristen with any medical bills and expenses that may come up in the future. In addition to the money that we raise for Kristen, we will also be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

We could really use your help with donations or help getting ready.

We are in need of help in the following areas:

-Yard Sale donations
-Making/hanging signs
-Food-(think bake sale)
-Sorting and pricing before the sale
-Help during the sale

Also, if you have any service that you can donate for the sale (example: photography, haircuts, tutoring, computer training or ANYTHING else you can think of) please let us know so that we can sell that at the yard sale too.

If you would like to donate but can't make it to the yard sale, we will be setting up a paypal account in the near future so please check back.

For all questions or information about how you can donate, please email us at

kickkristenscancer@gmail.com

Thank you all for you love and support of Kristen. It means more than you will ever know.
