Diagnosis

Got the news today that Lala has cancer.. =*( couldn't help but cry, she is my world. I have had her forever, since 2003.  I always knew there would be a time she left us, just didn't think it would be soo soon. She is like my little girl, my child, and this kills me... I am trying to gather research on the Cancer. Just paid $125 today for blood work. On wednesday, I paid $300 for them to take a sample of her bump to see what it is, as well as an exam, and two medications. They want me to take her in on Monday for an ultrasound... that would be $350... in total that would be about $900... Is it wrong to be discussing money in this matter? If it was your child, would money be a factor?? but then again, I know this isn't my real child, but I swear she seems just like one.. don't know what i"m gonna do without my Lala... so sad.. =*(

Recently

So on a sadder note... my mom was admitted to the hospital on Frida June 3rd. =( Her appendix bursted and they had to do emergency surgery on her. They are having her stay at the hospital to keep a close eye on her and to make sure that they get all of the bacteria out. She is suppose to get out tomorrow (Thursday) hopefully... but boy oh boy was it a big scare for all of us. Thank you to everyone for all of your wishes, prayers, and concern. We all appreciate it. She is doing better and better everyday. She has began walking, and was finally able to eat regular food. Thanking the Lord for taking care of my mom ;0)

Today woke up and saw that Lala had a big bump on her throat. Took her into the vet and they think it could be a tumor. They took blood and took stuff out of the ball on her kneck and will be sending it to the lab for results. They also sent her home with antibiotics... cost me $320 =( eekkk.. I had to make sure my lala was ok... still keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. =/

Graduation

Wow, some time has passed. I just want to say thank you sooo very much to everyone for all of their support. Thank you to those that made it to the ceremony, the party, or sent their wishes. I appreciate it all more than you know! The graduation went so good, I was soo nervous to give my speech but all in all it went good, and I was proud and excited.. Had a little mishap after with my father... but I don't want this to be a negative atmosphere, so lets stay on the positive side... So if you missed anything.. you can view the graduation speech given by yours truly at the link below:


I walk into the ceremony at about 14:09, then I do my speech around 26:44 and you can catch me getting my degree at 1:54:50 ;0) Hope you enjoy!

There

Appreciating the love I receive,
the joy that comes to me,
when I see the people that care,
I appreciate everyone that is there,
And who has remained by my side,
even through all the rough rides
So grateful for the attention,
so thankful for the affection...
and loving everything in between. =)

Graduation

It's crazy to think that I will be graduating May 22nd, seems like I've been aiming for this goal for so long, that now that it's finally here, its some what unbelievable. I stare at my cap and gown, and that pretty sash that says "Chapman university" and I think to my self how proud I am of me... I wish I had others that were so intune with how big of an accomplishment this is for me.. but so many people are like "ehh I knew you would do it".. and I'm thankful in deed that so many people have optimistic views of me.. but I'm still kinda like.. "can I have my glory?" haha. I look at my 19 A's and hope these last two classes are A's, that would be a whole 2 years of straight A's... Just amazing to me, with full time work, full time skewl, a boyfriend, family, etc etc I managed to be resilient through it all =) Not trying to sound conceded or toot my own horn, anyone that knows me, knows I hardly ever give myself praise, "I guess I gotta poor my heart out to get my glory" (R. Les) I just think the closer I get to graduation, the more I feel like.. "I did it". I know its JUST my Bachelors, but in my eyes its another thing I said I would do.. and I have done ;0)

with that being said.. i include Ryan Leslie's new song "Glory". He is my favorite artist/producer and one of the most underrated, talented, inspirational artist out there. Amazing!

Pack Rat!

haha, saw this commercial today on tv for storage units, it showed how most men don't like to give up their old trophies, jerseys, sports memories, school memories, etc and that the women are usually the one to initiate "the change" to either get rid of those items or pack them up and put them in storage.... I started to laugh, because I don't think there is anything that Larry has thats old, that he refuses to give up... instead I have boxes and boxes of stuff from high school that I refuse to give up lol. Old dance uniforms, pictures, year books, diaries, just all kinds of stuff haha.. Not to mention I'm just an overall pack rat, seriously, I have stuff from like elementary still lurking in boxes somewhere haha... hey some people like to hold on to old good memories in their mind.. others like mementos for along the way =)
