Getting back to our new "normal"

In the end of August, when we got back from our vacation to Cali, Sandy and I jumped back into life. I started work back in the same clinic as before at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital. Sandy started his new job at Markus and Millchap. It’s been quite the adjustment for me. You can never come out of any experience or trail in life and be the same person. Usually you are always changed for the better. Lately, I have been trying to find my new normal and new self. It’s CRAZY to think that it’s been one year that I was rediagnosed and started my treatments. In the moment it took forever, but time really flew by. Sandy and I are feeling very blessed to be on the other end of that wonderful nightmare. Yes, it brought a lot of pain, but I wouldn’t change it for the world! I was able to meet and get to know very special people. People who I hold close to my heart and will never forget the lessons they have taught me. Working in the cancer field, especially terminal cancer, you see a lot of wonderful people pass on. A few of my favorite hero’s this past week have passed on to the next life. I struggle to understand why such amazing people are taken away from their families so early in life. Yet, I am grateful for my understanding of the plan of salvation, that we can live with our families again. With all the heartache my job brings, I am grateful for this constant reminder. Cancer is many things : Painful, Scary, Unknown, Nasty, Exhausting, Emotionally, draining, Monster. But it can’t take away Love, Family, Friends, Laughter, Faith, Hope, Desire, Fight. Little does Cancer know that it makes people STRONGER. So thank you cancer for choosing me! Thank you for making me who I am today. Without you, I would be the old me, and frankly I like this new me I am becoming. ( Sorry for no pictures. I will upload a more exciting blog once my computer works properly again :) )
