Thank you!

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone who made our wedding day so special! To have all of our family and friends at our wedding was amazing. We had the BEST day, we only we wish we could have slowed it down or pressed pause. So many people that we wish we could have talked to longer or had more time. Thank you, we feel so lucky to be surrounded with such loving family and friends we could have not asked for more!

With all the wedding stuff and excitement i almost forgot what time of year it was. It was July 23rd 2009 when i went to Harborview ER after months of pain and wondering and found out the news i will never forget. A hypopharyngeal mass in my throat that appeared to be cancer. On August 3rd what we had been waiting for...the results of my biopsy and a diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Time almost seemed to stop, in that moment i couldn't breathe and all of my fears all at once became reality. It has been an amazing year, but it wasn't me...it was all of you that brought me so much closer to life, love and everything in between. I am so grateful for life, family, and my husband (finally) and friends that showed me that sometimes the worst of times can really be the best of times! All my love, THANK YOU!
