I hope everyone has the chance to feel the kind of love I have felt over the last week. It’s been surreal. Family and Friends (or Framily- friends that are family) like the ones in our life are hard to come by. They show up. Every. Single. Time.
We had a fun dance party to celebrate life and the end of cancer. My sister Kristen came from Washington, my Mom from Minnesota flew out, and we had family and friends from all over Colorado come to par-tay with us. We really wanted to have a party to thank our close knit supporters who were on the front lines with us during this fight. It was so magical and a night we will never forget.
My Dad and Aunt Kiki are also cancer free now too, so it was so special that we all got to celebrate life together.
Our friends Tiffany, Meghan, Sara and Regina made an epic video for the party and surprised me with their amazing singing, songwriting and guitar hero skills. Tiffany and Sara rocked it out live as the video was playing. In costumes, naturally. I was so confused at first. What are they wearing? Am I getting a lap dance? Who is singing? I almost cried, but they were too funny, so I was saved.
Here is a link to the video they made:
Pretty cool, right?!
There are many many pics from the party but I took zero of them. I’m more of an in the moment girl. As the great philosopher Steven Tyler of Aerosmith says, I don’t wanna miss a thing.
We Fitness Marshall-ed our booties off, sweating ourselves sexy.
It went by so quickly and it was so much fun.
We also had my sister Kristen’s baby shower the next day. I hope she felt super loved and supported. We packed up an extra suitcase to send her home to Washington with all of her gifts.
It was a great weekend and we are so thankful for everyone who showed up, and keeps showing up for us every day. I hope we can be that kind of support to everyone who needs us.
This is why I love random acts of kindness. During chemo, I asked everyone to do a random act of kindness on my chemo days. We might never know how far out that ripple reached. It warms my heart so much that in the midst of the hard treatments, love and light was being sprinkled around.
I am so thankful for a new beginning. I feel like we got a second chance at this thing we call life. I want to live it doing allll of the things and loving alll of my people. I want to reach my goals professionally, in fitness, and in life in general. Let’s be the people God designed us to be. Let’s wake up with expectation every day to rock it. We’ve totally got this!
Love,

It was so much fun and what a party! I was so glad to be there for the celebration and to see so much happiness and love shared by Framily. Very inspiring for everyone involved. So thankful for all the prayers and that God listened to everyone.
