I GOT TO SEE SAMMY!!!!

Yayayayayay!!!! Jumping up and down...while screaming.....ahhhh.!!!!.....lost my balance......falling......but still happy......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so amazing to see Sammy! I am so happy that my awesome boss Sue lent me her vehicular transport, so I could drive down and see her!

Many interesting things happened on this little trip:

1 (one). I saw a 3 car pile happen about 12inches from me.
(that did not sit well with me)....(many of you know that I have Crazy driving anxiety)

2 (two). I got lost (it's me DUH)

3 (three). The security guard took my photo and made me a name badge (WOW, lots of security).

4 (four). I saw my amazingly BEAUTIFUl cousin SAMMY!!!!!

.............Ok nothing tops that one (four).

I am SO HAPPY!
She is doing lots better and will be home tomorrow. Then she will be going back to the hospital on monday for another round of Chemo. BUT!! She is eating now, her fever is down, and she gets to go home!!! YAYAAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep praying, soo many good things have been happening!

P.s.
Thank you SOO much Ash and Jes for offering your vehicular transport as well! You girls rock!

SnowFlake Hit!

Had a blast at this years snowflake parade! Here are some photos to prove it! My friends Ash and Jessie had some people over to watch it all go down!

Purple (AHH)

Until Sammy is out of the hospital my blog will be purple (her fav. color, (but definatly not mine)). Keep praying! I know that God is our hope, and his will should be done. PLEASE keep praying. If you would like a prayer card to keep on your fridge, your desk, or car, please let me know! I can send them very fast! Thank you again to everyone who has been praying!

Please visit her webpage!

So my family created a Caring Bridge web page.

Take a look.

Have you?

Have you ever thought through something so much that all your energy is drained?

Have you ever cried so much you thought you were going to dry out?

Have you ever decided enough is enough?

Have you ever chosen to just hope and pray?

........and then lost it anyway?

Wicked!

Tonight I am going with my sister Tina and my boss Sue to see Wicked. I am really excited. Only I hope my sister doesn't totally embarrass me! She has the total ability to, you see she knows everything about me.......EVERYTHING. And well if you know me (and I think you might), you probably can image that if you knew as much as her, you would have LOTS to tell. So Tina if you are reading this take it as a Plea for my future work life, NO embarrassing Amber stories!

She really like to tell the story of how when I was three my parents cought me eating plain butter out of the fridge......this story is the least of my worries.....get why I am nervous????

Not me Monday

I don't feel like it, sorry.

metastatic ewings sarcoma

Back above, front below

Metastatic Ewings Sarcoma

This is the doctor name for what Sammy has (love how I am a 5 year old). She is staying really strong, and will be home on monday. She has done two rounds of Chemo therapy, and I am sure very happy she gets to come home. Everyone in the house had to get flu shots, and until she is settled they have asked for no visiters. I made these prayer cards to hand out to family in friends to remember that God is HUGE, and our prayers count. If you would like me to mail you one of these cards as a reminder to pray for Sammy I will be giddy to do so! Thank you to everyone who has already started praying for her!

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone for a great weekend. I have had a terrible week of tears and you have given me such comfort and FUN!!!!

Credits:
Courtney Eastlund- bright and cheerful Courtney. Nothing but truth from your lips. Thank you so much for taking me out to dinner, dragging me to Zumba, paying for my movie, shopping with me, and most of all praying for Sammy.

Tricia Kohn- For shopping for seven hours, driving, and all the talking!

Kelsie McLean- For forcibly striping away my blues and endless tears through sweating my butt off, for having a truthful heart, and for throwing a kickin party where we played a sweet game and watched multiple women give birth.

Ben-Jammin- for being the peaceful man that you are, and praying without question.

Ash & Jessie- For being fun people to be around, and laughing while watching women screaming! Ash your heart and temperament is so relaxing to be around.

Jazz- for sharing your crazy movie, and awesome food!!! YUMMy!!!!

Jonah- you are a praying soldier.

Madeline Dewey- You knock me socks of, mate! I love you so much, and you (I have no idea how) can make me laugh no matter how I am feeling. Your hugs are bomb too.

I am completly frazzled and outside myself today.
I just feel like my nerves are in over load.
Just thinking about my cousin brings me to tears, and almost evey phone call to
my family ends in them.
We are hopeful. Sammy is really young and very strong.
It is really hard to think about how she is feeling emotionally and of course physically.
I am just asking everyone to please pray for her.

Beyond that I have many other things on my mind and on my worry list.
I am however happy it is friday and I have a pretty busy weekend planned (hopefully will keep me going, and if not I will just be a deer in the headlights).

Bone Cancer

My cousin Samantha Jo has Bone cancer. It started in her pelvis and has moved to a few other areas.
My family and I are not handling this very well. I am not sure what else to say.
Please pray for her. Her mom and dad are having a really difficult time with this.
Please pray for them.
They are the ONLY christians in my family, and she has been the most spiritual person in the family. I just really want everyone who reads this blog to PLEASE pray.
I don't know what else to say, but this has been really hard news.

Please Pray!

I just found out my cousin Samantha was admitted to Children's hospital. She has had extreme pain in her back and legs for a week and has also lost 15lbs. They have ruled out lukemia and Luipus, but still have no answers for our family. Please pray for her. She is a senior at Champlin Park High School and will be turning 18 this coming year. Please Pray for her and our family as they are hoping for a quick answer and cure to whatever is going on.

Not me Monday

I totally did not suck at life all week. That wasn't me.

Obama Happy Dance

...........twirling.....jumping...........hip thrusting...............high fiving..............thats it.
And I already know he isn't going to be as great as he says.
And I already know he isn't Jesus.

...............twirling.........karate chopping.........more hip thrusting.........

8 glasses

Isn't that what they say you should drink.
I drank it all in a few hours, and I feel a little sick.
Almost like I am going to throw up.
It was not worth the clear pee.
But goal met.


Ahhh...ohhh....mmmm.....eeee......(moans of discomfort).

How many glasses of water does it take?

So, for as long as I can remember my Urine (from this point on will be called Pee) has be yellow...maybe even Dark Yellow. So in an attept to make it clear I have recorded how much water it actually takes to get there. So here I am 5 glasses into my experiment, and the pee...well....light yellow.
BUT the day isn't over yet.

(Just be glad I am not a photo blog).

Pitty Follow!

Some one please follow my blog. I know it will be a pitty follow, but at this point I don't care!

Not me Monday

This week with all it's crazy-ness I have found a lot of not me's.

I most certainly did not buy pizza's for over 50 people for a one year olds birthday...I mean come on he isn't even going to remember...I definitely did not do that.
I also didn't forget to order a birthday cake for my son...and then proceeded to beg on hands and knees to the baker at Walmart to make a cake in 20min.....Nope I am an organized put together mom, and I certainly know not to lay my own procrastination on others....I know better than that!
I also didn't make my husband sit through a 6 hour marraige confrence with a tooth ache. I am a sympothetic wife only interested in the comfort of my husband and I could care less about a messly $60. (In all actually he did really want to go).
I also didn't dress up for halloween...come on moms don't do that. I most certainly didn't dress up like the wicked witch and walk around telling people I was Sara Palin...nope a good person wouldn't do that.
I also didn't pressure cook my boss's to dress up for the election themed birthday party, only for them to be the only ones so dressed up. (everyone was suppose to)

I really wasn't a bad person this week.....Uhhh...huh....
