One More!!

Matt went in today for his 3rd treatment! This picture was actually taken at his 2nd one, but I thought I needed a picture for this post and this one would work just fine! 
I really can't wait for all of this to be over and have Matt back to his normal healthy self! I'm amazed more and more each time at how strong and positive he is being through all this icky poop crap! Yes, thats what I call the cancer... So only one more treatment of Chemo and then a month of radiation. What a beautiful day that will be when he goes in for his last visit for radiation! I might be even more excited than he is! ok... maybe not.. 
Everyone has been so sweet with their thoughts and concerns for both of us, you guys are all wonderful! Keep Matt in your prayers... it will all be over soon enough! :)

What an AdVeNtUrE!!!

Last night Matt and I went with Brett and Lex to go celebrate their one month anniversary! We all decided to go to P.F. Chang's! So Lex and Brett came and picked Matt and I up from my house. Well about 2 miles past the Provo Center Street exit Lexi's car starts to putter and completely breaks down, yes on the freeway! So we pull over and we all just sit there... we didn't really know what to do in this situation! So of course, I call up my mom... I tell her where we are at and she comes to find us, I also called Mikey because we needed another car so we could make it the rest of the way to P.F. Chang's! So while we are all 
sitting in the car we decide we should pr
obably 
start taking pictures and documenting this evening of fun! haha. So while we wait for my mother and brother to arrive Lexi calls Geico! Matt was being so funny and saying that he was so scared! So anyway, my mom arrives and I get out of the car and jump into hers where it was nice and warm... Matt comes running to the car too, as Matt shuts the door, Lexi and Brett start pulling away. I was so confused! I guess after I got out of the car, Brett decided to try and start it one more time.. and what do you know.. It starts! haha So we follow them the rest of the way to theUniversity exit, and right as they get off the free way and are making the right hand turn the car breaks down again! Soooo we are now pulled over on the side of the road by McGraths Fish House... then Mikey pulls up behind my mom. So the boys decide that they are gonna push the car just up the street to the Texaco Gas station. I really wish I could have gotten a picture of Matt, Mike and Brett pushing this car, but I had to drive Mikey's car behind my mom. So I didn't really have a view of this event! 
So we finally make it into the parking lot, and Lex is still on the phone with the Geico man trying to figure out what to
 do about towing. They said they would pick it up there at the gas station, luckily Eric, the wendy's manager was there to keep an eye on the car until they got there! haha..
So we finally made it to our destination at about 8:30 pm. We left my house at 7:00 pm. At P.F Chang's we got seated right away... We were all so hungry and happy to be there. Unfortunately this story doesn't end here! We got the most TERRIBLE waiter.. He was so slow, and the place wasn't even busy! We didn't actually get out of there until 10:40 pm!! It was a joke! 
All in all it was a pretty exciting night! We got to spend some good quality time with our bestest friends in the world
.. and we got some delicious food! I'm assuming Lexi's car was safely towed to Springville... at least we hope so! :)

Happy New Year!

Ellie stood in for Matt haha!
Our cute little prego Shalie and her hubby Alex!
Our cute little prego Elster and her hubby Chris!
Our cute little not prego Sarah and her hubby Tyson!

I really can't believe how fast the last year went by! It was a pretty good year, Matt came home from his mission, Mom got hitched along with the rest of my friends. haha.. I graduated beauty school! I'm excited to start a new year especially now that Matt is here with me! 
We had a lot of fun on New Years Eve, it was a little Snow College reunion! Poor matt was really sick from his second round of the chemo so he spent the whole night in on my bed. Poor thing, I felt so bad! He was so sweet to come though... We had a good time talking and catching up.

We got a little Guitar Hero in... Which is always the high light of MY night! :)


We played some Wacky Six... Shalie and Al finally got the hang of it! haha we also attempted to play 99, but everyone was too busy talking so we just decided to bag the game idea haha! 
It was so good to see everyone, it felt just like old times! This needs to be a monthly routine. What do you think ladies!?
