WOW!!! I can not believe it has been over a month since I posted to the blog. I am considering getting rid of the blog because A- I barely post to it and B- I’m not sure if anyone really reads it?? Hello?? Is anybody out there reading this?? I know most people probably find out whats going on in our life through facebook… so maybe the blog is not necessary??
Moving on. Last time I posted I was asking for prayers about Lola’s treatment. We were really hoping and praying that Lola would be put into a certain treatment and as it turns out… she was not put into that one. I took the news pretty hard and needed some time to adjust to the thought of what this was going to mean for our lives for the next 2 years. Lola will be on a TON of medication for the next two years, and every four weeks she will be on one chemo for 5 days that really effects her. It takes almost a week for it to wear off, so that leaves us with about 2 rough weeks out of ever 4 weeks. Not exactly something we were hoping for…. But at the same time we fully believe that God put Lola into the treatment that she needs, and if this is what she needs to stay alive then we will do it, and we will do our best to do it with a smile on our face. Lola did have her port removed about a month ago, and we are just thrilled with that. She is SO HAPPY to have it gone. Lola goes back to clinic on friday for IV chemo and she will also be starting up on that nasty chemo again , so please pray for Lola as it will be a couple rough weeks.
Good news about Lola- She made a change in her make a wish. The mini horse was getting a bit complicated and a vacation was sounding pretty good so she decided to go to Disney instead!!! We will be in the market for a friendly mini horse in the spring though, so if you happen to have one just lying around let us know 
So… in December we will be going to Disney and we are pumped!!!! I’m crazy excited and have been keeping myself busy planning out our amazing trip. I have never in my life felt the need for a vacation like I do now. It will be wonderful to just escape for a week with my family and have some fun and not have to worry about all the junk that we have to worry about all the time.
Next up… Ultimate hike!!! The Hike was this past weekend and it was AMAZING!!! The trail was slightly horrid. It was full of HUGE hills and a really tough trail. We had to get up at 2am to get to the trail and started hiking at 4 am. It was pitch black and I was pretty sure there was either a hungry bear or a murderer waiting for us in the dark. Luckily there wasn’t. 
We hiked for over 3 hours in the pitch black and then the sun slowly started to peek out exposing just some amazing beauty around us. I hiked 16 miles along and then had to stop (I knew ahead of time that I wasn’t going to be able to do the full 30) due to the reason pictured to the right. yup. its true.
5 people from team Lola continued on for the full 30!!! I can not even tell you how much it means to me to have so many people doing something as crazy as this to help find a cure for childrens cancer. There were even a couple people that joined team Lola that I had never met before!!! AMAZING!! I worked hard to make it 16 miles. Well… the 30 mile hikers worked like crazy. It would be one thing if the trail was flat and easy. But it was not. Basically you were always either going up or down a huge hill. Team Lola still needs to raise a bit more money, so if you are willing to sacrifice a small amount to help we would appreciate it!! CLICK HERE to make a donation.
Here we are ready to go at 4am!!!
Well. I think that’s about all I have for now. I need to get my little bunny and poodle ready to go for the festivities of the night!!
