First cycle COMPLETE!!!! HEADING HOME!!!!!!!!!

I'm heading home today!!!! Im soo happy to get out of this place! Words cant even explain. God has blessed me soo much throughout the first cycle. I puked just a couple of times on Wednesday but other than that. I have felt good through the whole thing. I have had tons of visitors and my family and Amy came to visit. There were some long lonely days but I got though them. I am stronger then to think. That is my new Motto and It will be for the rest of my life. Justine Schneider, an Amazing friend of mine set up this little fund raiser for me because I will not be working alot this summer she wanted to raise some money to help me out with rent and things like that, living expenses. Well she raised over 1000 dollars in like 3 weeks!!!! They she wanted to give it to me during our 5 year class reunion which was this past weekend on Saturday. But I was still stuck in here. They called me on the phone and sent a picture with everyone at the reunion with all the t-shirts on. She told me and I pretty much lost it right away. If i was there in person i would have no idea how i would have reacted. I dont do very well receiving gifts like that. I would have cried for the rest of the night haha. I pretty much did in the hospital anyway. I was way overwhelmed. God has created a beautiful world and there are so many great people out there that just want to help other people. I will forever be in debt to those people who bought a shirt and donated money just to help me out. I am so grateful. I wish there was some way I could give back to each and everyone of them.

In a way being diagnosed with caner has been a blessing I have become closer to my friends and family and Amy and deeper in my faith. My outlook on life has changed. I used to want to Win national championship's and was on my way to Minnesota to get starting in a great career as a strength coach at a competitive school with elite athletes. Something I always wanted to do. But Maybe not anymore. I also want to work with high school athletes now teaching them leadership skills and life skills that can be used during there time in sports but also throughout there lives!  Petty little problems aren't so bothering some anymore. they just don't matter. I could live I could die and don't want to spend the time I have here on the glorious earth that God created not living it to the fullest. It's may be weird to hear but I thank God for giving me this challenge. I never backed down from one and i wont start here. "Pain is weakness leaving the body" I have been saying this for as long as i can remember and as I go thought this chemo I stay strong by repeating this and changing that negative painful energy into a energy that is POSITIVE AND STRONG.
