I miss taking pictures!!

I was pretty tired today after going to a baptism and a birthday party this weekend. But I decided to take the girls out and clean a little at the studio. It's amazing how many crickets can end up out there after the studio being left alone so long. After cleaning I took a couple of pictures of the girls before we came in for supper. Just thought I would share a few since I'm not working and posting pictures in the client galleries. I don't even have to beg, the girls love getting their picture taken. Chemo tomorrow so hope it goes well, next week is my week off! Heather.

Gotta have a little fun...

Well chemo went pretty well Tuesday, I can tell I am more tired this week I think it just keeps adding up. I've probably been trying to do too much and I get even more exhausted. Anyway, I decided to go get some fresh air Wednesday night and sit in the deer stand by myself. It was so nice and peaceful out there, it was a nice day too so it felt really good to get out. It's so relaxing to sit out there where the only noise is the squirrels crunching as they run in the leaves and of course the occasional shot in the distance. I took my camera of course because I love taking wildlife pictures. I got a couple of some does and fawns, and a few of the pretty sunset through the trees. Right before dark I saw a 4 by 4 buck come out of the trees and stop right out in the cornfield straight in front of me. I figured it was the only chance to shoot one to fill my permit for this year so I decided to shoot. He ran a long ways and went into the trees so I assumed I missed. My brother in law picked me up and we went to look for blood but we couldn't find any. Of course it was pitch dark by that time. Anyway, he went back this morning and he looked right where I told him it ran into the trees and he found it. I hit him right behind the front leg but he must have just ran like crazy. So I am including those pictures too, but since it was today I didn't have my hunting clothes on, so I look kind of silly in my regular clothes with a deer.

I'm so glad I got to go out, laying around in the house gets pretty old. Hope I don't upset anyone that doesn't like hunting with these pictures. Thanks, Heather.

Hope for Heather website

I've had several people ask me for the Hope for Heather website. Thanks to Lisa Hermann there is a website that is organized with all the things people are doing to help us out. We really appreciate everything everyone is doing! Some people have asked about bringing meals, there is a calendar on the website that people can sign up to bring a meal if they want. It's been working out great and it really helps to get through the week especially when I'm tired.
It is http://julius.centura.k12.ne.us/~hermann_l/Hope%20for%20Heather/Welcome.html

I have chemo again tomorrow, #5. I am trying to get caught up with editing from the weddings I did back when I was still working. I finished Erin and Andrew and am almost done with Kelle and Matt. I will finish them tonight. Then all I have left is Jennifer and Riley and I will be caught up. Hope everyone else is having a good week! Heather.

Fourth Treatment

First of all I want to thank everyone who came to the scrapbook day on Saturday. It was so much fun and so fun to see everyone there. I really appreciate everything that was done to plan and pull off such a wonderful event! Thanks to all the people who donated baskets and raffle items. It was amazing!

I had treatment 4 today. It went better than any of my other ones because they changed my premeds a little so I wasn't so tired and anxious today. It is much easier to go in if I know it's not going to be so bad. My first CT scan is scheduled for December 5th. They will be checking for any change in the tumor size, Dr. C thinks the chemo will have taken care of the tumor in my chest. However, I will still have to stay on this chemo anyway because the cancer will just come back if I stop.

Also, thanks to those wonderful Hope Angels whoever they are, they visited today and brought me some pumpkin pie room sticks and a package of broccoli cheese soup. Thanks! The sticks are already making the kitchen smell good.

Angie took me to treatment and to my heart scan today. We had a pretty fun day minus the chemo part. Thanks so much Ang for spending the day with me! She took a couple of pictures of me today to share... me and my wonderful chemo pump and me and Dr. C.

Thanks, Heather.
