Tomorrow is the big day, we leave for vacation! I'm going to work a half day then come home to finish packing, and take a BIG nap in preparation for the drive. (Though I'm sure my mind will be filled with so many passing thoughts, sleeping will seem impossible)
We'll be driving all night Thursday to arrive in St Marys Friday morning. No plans for Friday, just visiting people, maybe catching up on a little sleep. Saturday is the alumni parade/picnic, and that evening JT Woodruff (lead singer of Hawthorne Heights) and his band HH are having a show at my old HS. Should be really fun, but yet so wierd to be at a punk show in my former school. Sunday is Austin's high school graduation. Then monday or tuesday we're heading to Harold's family's in PA for the rest of our trip.
We'll have the puppies with us which is good because I'm always happy to have them around :) However, it does cause a little added stress because I am worried about them the whole time, lol.

Times are strange.
On a positive note: I dyed my hair after I said I would and I really love it. Pics coming shortly.
Now, some not so good news. First thing is first..my 8 month old neice Delaney is in the ICU at the hospital. They originally thought she had pneumonia, however, they soon discovered a tumor. It turned out that this tumor was wrapped around her spine and heart/lung area. Soon after they diagnosed her with a rare type of cancer "Neuroblastoma". They did surgery on Monday to remove as much as they could. They were able to remove it from her spine, however some of it near her heart still remains, due to it being so dangerous to remove it.While they were performing this surgery they also took samples of her bone marrow to run tests, to try and see what stage the cancer might be. Yesterday, I got the word that it is in fact, stage 4 cancer, and that the cancer is in her bones. This is obviously not the best of news, however, I do remain hopeful.
Just a week or so before that, my cousin Christopher found out that he has a brain tumor. He had went in due to having headaches, and after CT scans they discovered the tumor. He was hospitalized, and they put in a stent. Last I've heard now he is getting a second opinion at Duke on what the plan of action should be.
