Trip to Kansas City Casino 400

Most of my followers are aware my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer a little over a year ago. That being said anyone that knows her knows she is a NASCAR fanatic and Tony Stewart is her driver! I am happy to announce that she did infect leave for Kansas city today and both her and my dad are having a good time. They haven't taken a vacation in 30 years so this is a long time coming. They made it safe and sound and I'm hoping it is everything she ever dreamed of and more. I'm also hoping the two of them will just have some much needed time away and time together without all the stress that goes along with life and this past year.
Love ya mom and dad! Now relax, put down the phone and enjoy each others company.

The Bucket List

It's truly been a long and exhausting day. After rushing home from caring for mom I barely had time to grab food on the go before my service unit meeting for girl scouts. Yes, once again I'm a troop leader and although my days are filled I look forward to this journey with my 6 year old!

Shifting gears I wanted to share with my followers my moms current status with the stage 4 ovarian cancer. As most of you are aware she is out of remission. This means we are once again going through chemo therapy. Unfortunately, she is now allergic to the carboplatins which really limits available treatments. We were recently given some devastating news when the cancer doc informed us this is terminal with no future hope for further remissions. As you can imagine, this initially hit my mom like a ton of bricks and dropped me to my knees. We both had some high expectations and were truly not prepared for the news received. I immediately along with my husband, made the decision to make her dream of a NASCAR race a reality. I went online and purchased her and my dad tickets for both Saturday and Sunday races at Kansas city this weekend. God was with me when I was able to purchase front row isle seats on turn 1 for both days along with pit passes and a meet and greet before the race. We are hoping for a miracle meeting with Tony Stewart her number one and only driver for several years but as of now they can't guarantee it with all the days events and track promotions. As you can imagine she is dancing on a cloud right now and can't wait for the rumble of the cars live where she will experience a dream come true. Here she is in her racing coat and her truck gassed, packet and ready to go! Let's go racing!!!
