Thanksgiving 2011 ~ We are SO THANKFUL!!!

I honestly don't think our family has ever felt more thankful then we do this year. Just two short years ago we spent Thanksgiving in the hospital, struggling to hang on to hope that Natalie could get through this. Look at us now!! Thanksgiving 2011 is AWESOME!! We thank our Lord and Savior everyday for what HE has done for our family. HE healed our daughter!! We give Him all the glory and are so grateful He loves us and hears our prayers. If your battleing something, call on Him. He is there and loves you too.
Please remember to be thankful this holiday season and put a smile on someones face. It feels good!!!

Life is Good ~ Really Good!

Well it's been a little over a month since we heard those wonderful words...."All Clear". We haven't stopped smiling. We have been celebrating in both Arizona and Colorado and tell just about everyone we come in contact with what an amazing GOD we serve. We give Him all the glory and praise and KNOW that HE is truly the Healer in all of this. Natalie is feeling great and has a smile like no other on her face all the time. She is so awesome, we couldn't be more proud. We so look forward to what life has in store for Natalie. We know she is going to do big things and change even more lives then she already has. Thanks for praying ~ thats what carried us through this! Love always ~ Sharon and the rest of the family too

CANCER FREE!!!

I am thrilled to share that today we found out that Natalie is Cancer Free. She got her last bone marrow and spinal tap and they called and told us there is no signs of cancer. We can not express the joy in our hearts for this wonderful news. It has been a long hard two and a half years. We had many incredibly hard days and shed more tears then we ever thought possible but by the Grace of GOD we made it. WE MADE IT!!!! We promise to be a light unto the world and do whatever we can to help anyone that ever endures this beast called cancer. If you have faith in God then never give up and pray, pray and pray some more. God hears us and answers us! Thank you all for your support and prayers through this journey ~ we are forever grateful to all of you.
Loving Life beyond belief!!
Giving HIM all the Glory ~

10 Months to go!!!

After a three week break, Natalie is back on her chemo. Her ANC (immune system) was to low the last few weeks so they held all chemo until yesterday. Sometimes I think your body just flat needs a break. Natalie got her drivers license on September 13th. She passed with a 100% which makes us very happy. She is loving driving herself around. She drives her and her brother Wyatt to school now and that is awesome for me. 10 months from tomorrow is the finish line. We will be DONE and by the Grace of God, Natalie will be healed FOREVER.

Hey everyone~
I'm not sure if many people still read this but I thought I would update it for those who do. (: I can't believe that August has already came and gone. I am enjoying school and have made many new friends.

This Thursday my mom and I fly out to Arizona. My birthday is on Sunday and her birthday is Monday. We are going out so I can see all of my friends and get my license. It's crazy that in a week I can get my license. (: I can't wait to see everyone there. Hope everyone is doing great!

ONE YEAR LEFT OF TREATMENT!!

Some days it felt like this journey was never going to end. Most days now it seems so normal and sometimes for a quick second we forget it's not over. Today marks one year to go. Natalie has completed one and 1/2 years so far and on August 13th, 2011 she is done. Studies have proven that it doesn't do any good to go longer, by that time it should be gone forever. We pray daily it is. We pray Natalie's next year is great and healthy. She has so much to offer this world. I think even if she wasn't my first born, special gift from God I would think she was an amazing person. She has lots of work to do here and I know God has great plans for her. One month from yesterday she gets her drivers license. Whoooo hoooo. She is so excited. She is doing really well with her treatment and we really like the doctor here. We miss everyone is Arizona very much but are loving living in Colorado.
We ask that for the next 365 days you keep Natalie in your prayers. 100% cured! That's what we ask for and trust that is what He will do. Love you all!

Hey guys~
It's Nat. I thought that I would update the blog this time. Summer has gone by so fast, but I have enjoyed it very much. We got back from Illinois last night. We all had a great time seeing all of our family there and being able to spend time with them. It is definitely good to be home though.
I am looking forward to starting back to school here again. I miss my friends back in AZ a lot though. Hopefully I can make a lot of new friends to make this school year pass by quickly.

I hope that all of your guys' summer is going great!
In God's Hands
Nat.
