VENTING.................

Ok... So I used to have a place to go to that i felt welcome to vent, to cry to laugh.. whatever.. but that place is no longer a comforting place to go.. as a matter of fact, i feel i've been kicked out of the CLIQUE!! DAMN HIGHSCHOOL-TYPE DRAMA!! I'm pretty sure I Graduated HIGHSCHOOL a LONG time ago.. but apparently no matter how old the people can be.. A LOT of people still like.. no scratch that THRIVE on DRAMA/BS...

anyways.. that wasn't my vent... (believe it or not..) but this IS

My Daddy- As you may/may not know/care... my dad is sick.. He's been battling cancer for 2 years.. it started in his colon (he had colon cancer before.. when i was like 14.. but they cut it out and he had a clean bill of health) well this time.. he wasn't so lucky.. by the time they caught it it had spread to his stomach, liver and lungs.. well he was on a chemo regimen that was working for 2 years.. all of his lesions seemed to be shrinking/vanishing.. his colon tumor was completely GONE, and there were only like 2 lesions left on his liver. (his lungs were clear too) well the STUPID cancer was getting immune to it (I guess) and the liver lesions were not going away, they were getting slightly bigger and one more even appeared, so it was time to change treatment.. well they started him on a new type of Chemo, and it knocked him on his butt for DAMN NEAR 2 weeks!! not only was he down... but he was hospitalized a few times... he had to get a 5 unit blood transfusion one of those times (i was told there are only 10 units in your body) The new chemo (as i understand it) gave him bleeding ulcers! Tomorrow is his birthday so I called to see if anything was planned (My family likes to forget to tell me of these things.. they didn't even call me when my dad was hospitialized for 3 days) for tomorrow.. he informed me.. HE LOST HIS HAIR.. ALL OF IT!!! This makes me sooooo sad... it all seems toooo real to me!! I'm not ready for this Cancer SHIT to be real... I lost my Grandpa due to lung cancer when i was 12, and at 18 me and my sister had to plan my step-dad's funeral (it wasn't cancer.. but still) I'm NOT ready to lose my dad!! i don't want this to be real... I'm NOT READY!!! I want My dad there when my kids start school, and when they graduate... and When they get married... I'm soooo NOT ready for this!!! DAD- YOU CAN DO THIS!! YOU CAN PULL THROUGH.. GIVE CANCER THE FINGER!!! I NEED YOU!!!!!

It's been a while

I know I know... anyways... what's going on in the Ganther household
*Well John and I are doing good! no scratch that we are doing GREAT!! Today is our 4 year anniversary and at this time I couldn't ask for a stronger relationship!
*John's out of work... DAMN ECONOMY!! has been since the beginning of July.. but we are surviving!!
*Rikki-Lynn is SOOO smart... She can say her alphabet.. she knows her colors, shapes and how to mix colors to get other colors.. She's my little smarty-pants!!
*Xander is getting big! He's 2 now, and just growing up so fast :( He LOVES spongebob, and his mommy (He's a HUGE mommy's boy)
*Amber and I went to Escondido (outside of Sandiego) for a scrapbooking retreat! We both had an awesome time and I got amber to scrap!! soon it will turn into an OBSESSION!! TRUST ME, I know!!
*MY DAD- I talked to him last night and he was a bit (ok a lot) out of it! but I talked to him tonight and he seems like a whole different person! He's been fighting this cancer BULL CRAP for 2 years now, and we recently found out he has another lesion.. which means his body is getting immune to the chemo.. so they switched his chemo treatment up a little bit.. and that made him SOOO SICK!! He got a boat recently (what can i say the man loves to fish) and John and Rikki-Lynn got to go fishing with him.. Rikki-Lynn loved her PINK life vest, and was REALLY REALLY good! They (john, Rikki-Lynn and My Dad can't wait to go again!)
*I went up to Utah a couple weekends ago for a friend.. (I LOVE YOU JESS) and even though i went up there for some BAD reasons, i had a good time, I spent a lot of time with Kristy and I MISS HER so MUCH!!! (I LOVE YOU KRISTY)!!
*I miss Merinda... (I pray for you Daily)
*My mom is still doing good, her and Shane are up deer hunting as we speak! Hope she's having fun... oh.. i think i'm going to text her really fast... ok done!
*Hmm what else.. Oh.. I haven't scrapped much except at the retreat and i only got 10 pages done.. which isn't a lot.. in my opinion!!
*john made me a scrapbook page for our 4 year anniversary... and it made me cry!! There may be some people in my life right now that i would be able 'phase out' without any problems.... but My husband isn't one of them (that's a good thing right)

Ok.. I think that's it for now...
