Today has been a really happy day! While my chemo treatments are predictably every other Thursday, they are only officially scheduled out 2 to 3 at a time. As of today, my last 3 treatments have officially been scheduled! Completing round 4 felt impactful, but now just a week later, it feels bigger. The end is right there on the calendar, just 7 weeks away.

An exciting addition is that my last treatment is just a few days before my birthday. I’m really looking forward to celebrating a big milestone at the start of a new year for me. Things have a funny way of working out, and I don’t tend to believe in coincidences. It honestly makes me really excited to see what 35 will bring.

With the end so close in mind, I was extra reflective today. While Jess was giving me my Granix shot, I felt how deeply proud I am of him and us for being so strong through this process. It’s not easy to watch someone you love be sick, let alone be responsible for helping keep them healthy. Either one of us could have really panicked, shut down, or given up but we stepped up and handled it. I’ve thought before that I wouldn’t be strong enough to handle something like this, but I’ve been proven wrong. I am and I can. I’m so grateful I have him as a partner in life 💕

In practice of gratitude and positivity, here are a few things that made me happy this past week:
