Our Trip to Boston

Shane and I were in Boston last week. My work sent me there for a conference so Shane decided to join me when the conference was over and take some time off to enjoy the sites of Boston. It was sooo nice to get out of town and relax a little (although we did a ton.)

We were able to see all the sites of Boston and also get out of the city. We drove up to Maine for one night and were able to see the beautiful fall colors. We had a great time and I am already trying to think of where we can go for our next trip.

Here are some, ok a lot of pictures, from our trip:

Nubble Lighthouse - York, Maine


Puffin Inn - Ogunquit, Maine


Celtics vs. Knicks Pre-season (I secretly cheered for The Knicks, don't ask me why, but I used to be a big Knicks fan!)


Fenway Park


USS Constitution


Bunker Hill Monument - Yes we climbed all 294 steps to the top, the view was beautiful. My quads burned, it felt good!


Where everybody knows your name...


Fabulous trip! What more can I say?

Update on Normal Life

I can't believe it's almost been a month since I posted last. Time is flying by again and life is back to normal. I love normal life. Just busy living normally. Work has been a little crazy and then just trying to get things done around the house before winter sets in. We had our front yard landscaped so it's been nice to not have to look at dirt when we drive up.

I have had 2 doctor's appointments in the last couple of weeks. One with Dr. Harker, my oncologist and then one with Dr. Avizonis, my radiation doctor. Both appointments have been pretty uneventful. Just follow ups to see how things are going. No scans yet, but they didn't feel any bumps, which is always good news. Next scan and follow up appointment will be the beginning of January. I am feeling pretty good. Still little things here and there that are lingering around but overall pretty back to normal. They told me that all this stuff stays in my body up to a year so although I will feel back to normal, small things can stick around for a while.

My hair is growing, you'll see by the next post. It finally feels like I have the ability to have a little style to it.

So I just wanted to update you that life is good and normal, just how I like it.
