Dinner with Chris and Carri

So my parents have been friends with another couple for quite awhile. Their names are Chris and Carri. Me and Chris now share something in common...we are both on missions to kick cancer's butt! We both also have something else in common....we both have the SAME EXACT STORY...well kind of :). The same exact day I went into surgery to remove my tumor, Chris went in to have back surgery. We both went in not having the slightest clue we had cancer. When we both came out of surgery, we were told that we had cancer. Although our cancers our different, our story still oddly stays pretty similar. I had to go through Chemo therapy which ended in January and Chris had to do radiation which also ended in January. We both go to the doctors next week, Chris on Wednesday and me on Tuesday, to figure out what our next steps are going to be. And finally are story concludes so far with us both starting something major on February 9th. It is Chris' first day back to work and my first day at the Disney College Program! Our families have decided to have a cancer free party this October to celebrate kicking cancer's butt! One of our other family friends Mrs. Megary is also going to come join as she is currently in the middle of fighting and defeating cancer!

My family and Carri and Chris decided to go have a lovely dinner today and catch up on our lives. It was really fun being able to share stories and see the things that were different with both of our journeys. I can not remember the name of the restaurant, otherwise I would tell you guys but it was so delicious! I am so happy I got to end this crazy week with family and friends. I have so much to look forward to next week and I am so excited to move on with my life. It is so important that I hold on to special moments like today for when I have bad days, I can look back on the good and always keep my smile :)
