After Christmas and New Years Eve

I had to go back to the doctor for my 13th round of chemo the day after Christmas.  We were hoping and praying that my HCG would be a ZERO.

We were so thankful and blessed that my level was finally at a ZERO after 6 long months! 

Corey was still very serious and seemed worried 

Last round of chemo going in

I still have to get my blood checked for a while to make sure it doesn't jump back up but we are so thankful to be at the end of this journey! 

I got a purple heart certificate and got to ring the bell for completion of chemo treatments! 

The best chemo nurses around - I really love this team! 

Corey and I celebrated with Simply Natural Ice Cream! 

The kids were so excited about our good news - they have been praying hard for me to get a ZERO!

We celebrated with donuts with them!

That Friday the 28th I had to go back to Greenville for a CT 

Claire kept my kids while we went 

It was freezing so I had to wear my head wrap.  Mom went with me.  She has been SO awesome and supportive during this tough time.  Could not have done it without her!

Claire and Staci took the kids to lunch at Chickfila - they had a blast! 

My car broke down on Christmas Eve but thankfully Corey was off the week after Christmas and could fix it and it didn't cost us a lot of money! 

We took the kids to see Mary Poppins 

We chilled and drank some hot chocolate while the kids played! 

Owen stayed with us some while the kids were out of school too!  The kids love having him to play with and he is really helpful with Oreo! 

New Years Eve

Ella was ready to party! 

Kelly hosted the NYE celebration and the kids had a blast!  We had lots of good appetizers and desserts! 

Doug was enjoying time with the babies! 

Some of the big kids who made it til midnight! 

Best buddies 

Best buddies too! 

Ethan wasn't feeling the best but he was super cuddly! 

Audrey squirted some whipped cream in Ella's mouth and she loved it! 

Doug liked my 2019 glasses too

Sure do love my church girls - I am SO thankful for these friends!

The Crockers came later so we had to get a picture with Lisa too! 

Kiss at midnight - he had his mouth full of food :)

We are definitely ending the year blessed - praying my health continues to improve so I can feel better and better.  I also resigned my job at church so I'm excited about new things to come in 2019!
