Momma Art

So my first post on this new blog.  I used to write a lot on my old blog but I'm tired of it and moving onto this one.  Promise I'll be writing so promise you will be ready.  Ok ready?  Set...

I finally got to Wichita this weekend.  Went home for old friend Katie Funk{face}'s wedding and my momma's birthday on Thursday {the 6th}.  Blast.  Olive Garden on Thursday and then Pei Wei and QuikTrip taquitos every day after that.  Obese.  Lots of drinking.  Emily Gilbert flew in from LA {wedding is the only reason to come to Wichita but hey, KTF-D}.

So onto my momma.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year.  I've never written this so it's a little weird and making this post a little to serious for me.  But anyway, it's a very strong cancer, so she had a double hysterectomy and vasectomy {I may have got those backwards}.  That was the week after graduation so that was the last time I saw her and she was tired and in a bed so she looked normal.  This weekend I saw her for the first time on chemo.  She's doing 6 sessions of it and she just finished her 3rd.  Half-way there!  Done on October 1st so we're all looking forward to that.  She can't really eat because she has no taste and she ate a killer {bad for her, AMAZING for emily and I.  these were mutant strawberries that literally tasted like candy} strawberries that made her tongue blister and turn purple.  There are some hard times but honestly she is doing really well.

Ok now that everyone is caught up, check out these photos I took of her real quick.  Talk to you all later.  Promise the next post will be less of a downer.  Love.
