This is a little late, but so are most all things I manage. Plus, hopefully this post won’t get lost in all the other July 4th postings since its so late! Lol. If the goal was to make memories I would say we did exactly just that. The bestie, our men, and our 4 kiddies in tow (only one is mine-haha!) had a wonderful time in Cocoa Beach. We all stayed in one room. Which I’ll have to admit I had so much anxiety leading up to this mini-vaca. Since starting my chemo treatment I have more emotional ups & downs than ever. Plus, I never know how I’m going to feel from day to day. So you bet your sweet ass I brought my lorazapems along for this ride! Thankfully, I never had to use them. Our days were filled with pool, sun, beach, drinks and walks. Our other bestie and her two daughters joined us for the last two days. It was seriously more fun than some of our college escapades!

My breast cancer and all its non-glory came to surface only a few times. Breast cancer was not invited on this trip! That’s the beautiful thing about cancer.
Did I actually give it a good characteristic??
It can’t take away sweet memories. It can’t take away priceless and PRESENT moments. It may take away future moments and memories but, not the present. They are all ours to cherish and to shove in cancer’s face!
God gave me these two angels. My ride or die chicks!
My BFF and I are all about making memories and that’s exactly what we did. At the end of any day, I always ask Gianna what her favorite part of her day was. If I where to ask myself the same question, the answer would be Friday night when we sat on the beach and watched the fireworks over the ocean. It was the sweetest moment for all of us. If I could capture it in a crystal ball I would so I can keep that memory forever. Instead, we’ll use this blog entry and the many pictures we (Mandy) took.
We came back a little happier, tanner and more appreciative of the simple things. Thank you Cocoa Beach for the great memories! xoxo
Friday night-my favorite night filled with love and priceless moments.
