Live. Laugh. Love.

For the past 7 months my family has been through difficult times with the surprising fact that my Daddy has throat cancer. We don’t know how this happened seeing as how he has never smoked, never taken a sick day from work, and never missed a day of school (except for Senior Skip Day). I have never had the feeling of losing my Dad before and it was the most awful feeling in the world. What would happen if something went wrong? Would I have a Dad to walk me down the aisle at my wedding? Will my future children have to grow up not knowing their Grandpa? Questions like that just haunted my mind. I am so extremely close with my Daddy that I couldn’t bear to think about it. But last Tuesday my family was blessed with the best news in the world. The tumor was gone! The chemotherapy and radiation worked and he doesn’t have to see another doctor until September. Let’s just say that this summer has been spent filling my memories of wonderful experiences with my Daddy. I will forever be thankful for the time my Dad and I will have together. I absolutely love being “Daddy’s Little Girl”!

Why does it feel like some days just don’t go the way you want? Well that’s today. It’s actually one of the first sunny days in a while and all I want to do is curl up in my bed and go to sleep. Just wishing that some days life would be a little bit easier!

It took hours of travel (over 30 hours) and very heavy luggage but I’m finally home with my family after four months living in Europe. I miss that wonderful continent like crazy but it feels amazing to be home. Now just working on losing the horrible weight that I gained from European food. This next couple months are going to be work out and diet central before I head back to school in August. Let’s see if I can keep it up!

What a perfect day! Prince William and Kate Middleton are now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Could they be a more perfect couple?
