Merry Christmas Eve!! :o)

My personal tree :)

My personal tree 🙂

So of coarse I had to have a purple tree this year.  ^^ That is my tree! I love it so very much and it means a lot to me every time I see it.  It makes me think.  Makes me happy… makes me sad… makes me determined… brings me encouragement. A simple thing like a tree inside your home, decorated, can say so much.  I wanted a purple tree for the obvious reasons but I also wanted to incorporate my “purple family” into my tree to make it even more unique and custom to me.  I try to be creative and I’ve never been one to take the beaten path in life.  I bought ornaments and painted names of people that have really inspired me.  I didn’t take pics yet because they were still drying and I was packing when I took this pic but I wanted to add a special touch.  It’s actually funny because when I posted this picture online someone from my purple family actually had the same idea… hey great minds think alike!!  I want you all to know next year you will see my creation.  😉

Well I made it to Michigan! I am here and festivities have started!  It started out right when I greeted by one of my best friends and her family which is my 2nd family.  We bowled… yea I even bowled!! I hit pins!!  hahaha… that is the idea right?  Well I have never been a bowler because I am not the best at it and if you know anything about me I love sports that I am great in like soccer, volleyball, mini golf (haha!).. words with friends  😉

Then we went out, like drinks and karaoke out.  Though… I did not drink or do karaoke but I was serenaded to and still had a great night!!  Nothing is better than a night with good company!

I am VERY HAPPY chemo went well one week ago today because I was actually scheduled for chemotherapy today.  I would be sitting in there getting infused had I not last week so amen to that! I am thankful for my blood, prayers, and all of you amazing people that inspire me more than you know.  Your continuous words of encouragement actually push me to push myself harder to succeed in this battle. That is the best present I could ever ask for!

On to the in-laws Christmas party for the night! Merry Christmas!
