This is me starting a blog for the purpose of updating loved ones on my condition as I am currently going through the lovelies of breast cancer. I have found that talking with others and sharing my feelings through this experience has really helped me get some things "off my chest" as I literally get things off my chest. Hopefully it will be helpful, insightful, and maybe we'll get a little laugh. Thank you all for your prayers and love. I feel so very blessed. DeLayne

Annie

One of my goals was to make it through some of the difficult parts of this cancer journey and come out the other end ready to keep living.  I decided to audition at the Scera for Annie the musical as Miss Hannigan a few weeks ago.  I got the part!!!  I have been cast as Miss Hannigan and my daughter Brinley is July, an orphan, and Bailey is in the ensemble.  Having both of them in the show with me is extra awesome.  I am so grateful to have this opportunity and to be on this end of those long chemo months.  I am ready to do this and so excited!  I feel this is my way of "kickin' it" to cancer and showing that we ARE survivors and still go on living.  I am tired.  I am sore.  This is going to be hard but I am committed and happy to be a part of it.  Brendon is fully supportive and so helpful.  He was just part of the Lone Peak Varsity basketball team becoming the State 5A champions as one of their assistant coaches.  That was awesome and they worked hard.  Congrats to Lone Peak!  He is a fantastic coach and they love him.  So, he was able to enjoy his extra-curricular activity and now I get to enjoy mine.  Annie runs April 22-May14th.  It is sure to be a great show!
