This past Sunday, I was really sick, but was wanting to get out of the house for a bit. Pete drugged me up and took me to Fort Langley for the afternoon, and I'm glad he did! We had LOTS of fun!

We found this little courtyard, with a bistro, where we ate some lunch. I have been to FL SO many times and we had NEVER seen this place before! It was awesome!
The courtyard

Happily drugged up...LOL!

Clearly the drugs were REALLY kicking in! LOL!!!!!!

Pete, showing me how I "looked" being drugged up! LOL!!!

Yes, another wonderful drugged up moment! LOL!

I was so pleased on this trip! I added a piece to my Piglet collection, and I got a wonderful gift for my sister, that I hope she'll love. It's something she collects:)

Last night, Pete took me out for dinner! We went to Eko's. I had never been there before, and boy, was IT good! We were given complimentary drinks, because Pete is friends with the head chef. I had a strawberry margarita. Notice my french manicure??? Pete LOVES it when I get a french manicure! Funny guy!

Pete had a Baily's and coffee....As well a HUGE plate of yummy rice etc. I had the cajun chicken wrap!!!!! YUMMY

I ordered season 1 of Miami Vice for Pete, from Amazon.com Pete and I LOVE the old 80's shows. Watching MV reminds me of how awful the 80's hair, clothing, and dance moves were! LOL! We've been watching the dvd's and laughing our heads off at the lame synthesizer music, and tacky fight moves! LOL!!! Pete was also able to get the 1st season of McGyver, from a garage sale! Next up? I am hoping to buy Pete, the 1st season of Magnum P.I. What are your your favorite 80's shows?

Pete and I have been able to spend some amazing time together as a couple, the last few days, as we prepare for this new chapter in our lives. My dear friend (K), prayed a prayer for us yesterday, asking God to use this time in our lives to bring us closer as a couple, and He sure has! We laugh together, cry together, pray together...We would not be able to be going through all these crazy emotions, without God. I'm really not too sure how folks who are non-believers, do it. Pete and I are leaning on God, daily, actually, most times it's hourly. We are both nervous and scared, as well as uncertain, but we know that God never gives us more than we can handle. Pete does not show his emotions very often, and there are only a handful of times, that I have witnessed him being sad or scared, which leads me to....www.cancerhasitsprivileges.blogspot.com

Notice anything wrong with this picture? Look at the tire, and what side of the curb it's on.....hmmmm...did someone accidentally drive OVER the abutment???

In true fashion, Kirsten (her friend), and I, had an "adventure" tonight. We were leaving IHOP and Kirsten pulled forward, not realizing that here was an abutment right in front of us. Her car became stuck. I was so proud of her. I would have burst into tears, with anxiety. She handled it like a pro. She put it in reverse and we tried to push the car while Kirsten laid on the gas. It wouldn't budge. So we called her hubby, and a few other strong men, but... This was our pot smoking, knight in shinning jeep, who rocked Kirsten's car free from the abutment! He was a total stranger, who drove by and saw our situation. He pulled into the IHOP parking lot and helped us. After a big hug from Kirsten, he drove off into the sunset!Can't wait for our next adventure, Kirsten! LOL!

In order to prepare for this

and this, next week, I did

This!

I've been sleeping on it, so it doesn't look that great, it looked better before the nap! LOL! I had my hairdresser cut off 6 inches! It's going to thin/fall out in September, so I figured I'd save myself the shock! LOL! Pete says it's cute! So, if you are not on Facebook and have not already heard, next week I start on Interferon. It's a chemotherapy drug with harsh flu like symptoms for the first month. I'm talking chills, fever, aching bones, nausea, chattering teeth. I was on this chemo for a month, once before, but this time I have morphine, ahhhhhh......magical morphine, to help with the side effects. I will be on both hydrea and morphine at the same time. My cancer doctor will be SLOWLY weaning me off the hydrea, and SLOWLY increasing the interferon. I WAS facing a once month hospital stay in September, so she could monitor myself and the side effects, but since Pete has agreed to learn how to do my injections, I can avoid the hospital stay! YAY! So feel free to keep us in your prayers :)
