Hey everyone!! Sorry I havn't been able to write in a while. I've been in the hospital, but I got back last friday, so I'm home now for a short time! I've finally regained my strength.

First and for most, I want to thank everyone for their awesome comments on my last post! You guys don't know how much it means to me to hear from some of you that I haven't seen or heard from in over a year or more! I want to be with you guys sooooo bad! But hey, if all goes well, I will deffinitly be returning next semester!!

This treatment so far has been much harder than last time. There is a greater period of time where I am weak, sick, and tired, and a much shorter period of relief. But I'm still hanging in there! I know I have to go through this to get this crap gone for good, and the good thing is, even though it's hard to see at times, this treatment is extremly successful and it is only used on my specific type of cancer. There are still moments when I have fears, doubts, anxiety, saddness, and sometimes even anger, though, but it's the support of you guys and my family and faith that keeps me smiling! I'm glad I can be a witness to you in some way. I hope my testimony in this trial brings hope to you in all aspects of life.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Please continue to pray for me! I hope you have an awesome rest of the week, and when I return, and I WILL return, you better beleave I'm not going to let a moment in life pass me by!!! God bless!!!!

Wow... I can't even begin to describe how much all of you mean to me! Your love and friendship is what helps me get through this! I still can't believe how truely blessed I am to have you guys as friends! Thank you soooooo much for all of your prayers and thoughts. I'm not through fighting yet!! It's just time to put on the battle armor again! But it won't be long before I'm back at school complaining about homework with everyone else.... and God, I can't wait for that moment! I will keep everyone posted on my progress. May God bless every single one of you!!!

Hello everyone. Some of you may have heard... some of you may have not. But for those of you that don't know, the cancer has come back. I have a tumor inside my body as we speak, eating me alive. I found out yesterday, Wednesday, Aug. 13. I will have to have another biopsy and probably have to go through two more months of cemotherapy. I will also have to have a bone marow transplant. Please pray for me. I will obviously not be in school for the 2 months of treatment, and I will miss everyone terribly. I was really looking forward to getting back to school, and a somewhat normal life again. But it won't be long, hopefully, before that does happen. Please continue to pray. Cards and other creative things like this are unnessesary, even though they were much appreciated. Prayer is the only thing I need.

This cancer can take my body, but it can't take my soul...

This cancer can take my heart, but it can't take my soul...

This cancer can rob me of feeling, flesh, and fortune, but it can't take my soul...

For my soul is already taken... it belongs to GOD!

Hey everyone! I'm back from florida, but the summer's not over yet! Jessica get's here tomorrow night. She'll be here untill Sunday. I haven't seen her in two years, so I can't wait 'till she gets here!!

Hopefully Erik will get back soon and finish mixing the demo so I can listen to it in my car! However, its not, by any means, finished!

Also, has anyone finished the Great Gatsby yet?? I'm about half way, and its pretty good so far. I didn't like A Raisen In The Sun... it was way to hard to understand.... and... um..... boring. Anyway, I hope these next two aren't such a snore! Later!!!

Hey all! My apologies for not writing in a while, but this week has been extremely busy!!

Wednesday's recording went AWESOME!!! It sounded great, and it's not even completely mixed yet!!! My cousin Erik is an excellent producer and sound engineer, but hey, that's what he got a degree for! Actually, he's kinda showing me the ropes, and hopefully by September him and I are going to start recording more bands. We are currently working out a payment plan. My band's CD will be an example of his work in his studio, so we'll have that finished before we do any other bands. It was such a LONG day! We all got up a 6, ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel at 7, got to the studio about 8, sound checked till lunch, and recorded till 10. But it was worth every second! I can't wait to get it finished!

Well, tomorrow's the big day! I'm leaving for Florida at 5 a.m. My sis is already down there 'cause she went with one of her friends. We'll pick her and Lindsay up on the way to St. Pete. Hopefully the waves are good, 'cause I wanna surf soooo bad!! It's been a while since I've been there. But, if not, there's always skim-boarding! Anyway, I will be back the following Saturday, and that week will be filled with more recording. Plus, Jessica is coming down!!!!!!! For those of you that don't know, I've know Jess since we were born. She's one of my very best friends. Our parents met when we lived in Wisconsin (where she still lives). I haven't seen her in like 2 years!!! She gets here that Wednesday and leaves the next Sunday. Then after that... SCHOOL!!!

Well, thanks for taking 5 minutes of your time to come read this post! C-YA!
