Yay! My website and blog now match:)

I really needed to see this today. Thanks Kristy with TSE group! I just love my marketing company. I have had a few rough days. On Monday I started having some pain under my arm (the side that does not have cancer). It has just put in a terrified mind set. I don't get like this very much but when I do it can really take over your entire life. I am going to give it a few more days and then see the dr. I did talk to them today (if I did not Mike would have). So I am trying to pray about it and move on.


I have a lot of exciting things to share. I have decided since this is my third year and the goal is to make it to 5yrs after diagnosis. I am going to celebrate everyone month that I am alive. I am already so thankful for everyday:)

I HAVE AN ONLINE STORE TOO. Go to cindyshopechest.org and click on online store:all process go to CHC...there are some really cute things:)


My open house is coming up in a week. I can not wait to show off my store. It is turning out to be beautiful. Some of you that have been following me from the beginning know how much the word Believe means to me so tomorrow will be a sneak peak!


Continue to pray for me as I fight like a girl!

Blog Underconstruction......:)

I have been out of touch for a bit. I opened my store and had a wonderful end to the year for my organization. My blog will be getting a makeover and I am super excited about it. I am learning how to twitter so I can keep everyone updated on Cindy's Hope Chest. I have lots of pictures uploaded on our a facebook page. The fundraisers for our first year were amazing. Have you heard of boob painting.....well be sure to check it out. Thanks for sticking with me. This year is going to be a year that I am going to need lots of emotional support. I am heading into my 3rd year. Lots of dr apts. So just remember to say a little prayer for me and all the women that are fighting this terrible disease!

Cindy made it to PA and participated in the finale event that Sedona Fitness and Spa held today. She had a great time! She will fly back tomorrow! If you have not checked out the new website, take a minute and navigate thru... www.cindyshopechest.org Cindy has worked hard this month as it is breast cancer awareness month. I can't tell you how proud I am to watch her as she touches lives. This thing is going big and fast! I thank you for walking with her daily... She is a great woman doing great things each day! I also want to thank Cindys sister and my Bro-in-law for all their support! Keep on keeping on Cindy, I'm proud of you! As I watched you thru the glass window this morning at the ticket counter, I thought of all you have accomplished and almost told the stranger beside me that y ou were my wife as I pointed to you. I didnt want him to think I was a weirdo so I refrained. You were missed but glad you had the oppurtunity to go to PA and meet those great folks. love you, Mike
