March 10th

This should be the day I have my last chemo treatment.. I hope! 
I couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to get back to normal life.
I just hope I can hang in there a little longer. 
March 10th March 10th March 10th, 
Please come soon! 
Love always, Kristin
Day 06 - A place I've been to. A picture of and a story about somewhere that I’ve been to.

I haven't visited that many places in my life. (Yet!) 
But I have been very happy to visit the places I've been.One place that I will always remember is mine and D's first apartment together. I remember looking at it and how we both knew this was the one. The main reason was the view. It't probably the littlest apartment in the complex but we loved every minute about living her. Living here with D in our safe havenI'm going to miss living here.

The bad habit.

Day 05 - The bad habit. A habit that I wish I didn’t have.

I have this habit where I don't put the lid on things.
This helps no one out, not even myself. 
Whenever I or D go to get something with a lid, it's never on!
It spills everywhere and makes a big mess.
This is something D hates! 
And I hope that one day it becomes a habit I break. 

Day 04 - My friends. A post about a few of my good friends.

Right now I wouldn't consider myself a good friend, this is something I hate and need to work on. (It's a work in progress, I swear.) Lately I find myself more worried about me than anyone. But to be honest I think this is something I need to get better, to get healthy. Then I can worry about others more than I am now. But I do have a few people that I will always consider my "true friends."

Casey Olney, I remember her first day of school in 7th grade. Everyone thought she was a little "different" but she was from another country of course she did things differently. We made friends easily. We used to switch cell phones because we thought one another was cooler. We weren't that close until high school. We had a lot of the same problems. I think that is why we were such good friends. We could relate to one another easily. Our friendship never ended and i hope it never will. I love you Case and soon we will be the best of friends again.

Hannah Smith, She was the first friend I made when I moved to Utah. She was my next door neighbor. I think that is the best kind of friend to have. We did everything together. We were in love with animals. We shared two hamsters. Whenever we got money we bought some kind of cage for our animals that we caught. I loved sneaking out to Walgreen's late at night. I always hated the one year difference but we somehow always stayed close and always will. 

Kylee Koning, I met her through Hannah. I always disliked her because when you were little, you always had to fight for a best friend. And Hannah was in the middle but once I got to know Ky we always had so much fun. POSI. Is what me, han, and ky were. We always had fun doing nothing. I loved that about our friendship. Ky and I were obsessed with laying out in the summertime. Or going to pineview. I hope we have more of those days to come. I love you miss K. Koning!
Day 03 - My family. A post about my family.

Danny Moyes, even though D and I aren't married yet and we are doing everything backwards, one day we will get it right. I still consider him apart of my family. He is everything I am not and I think that is what makes us work together so well. He is selfless and would do anything he had to for me. He supports me in everything I do. He spoils me rotten. Soon in our future we will be married and have the life we've always dreamed of together.

Eric Correa, my dad. He is the most genuine man I have ever met. Although he may not look like it on the outside.. All my boyfriends have been "intimidated" by meeting him, on the inside he is so understanding and caring. I remember him always sacrificing his things, things that he loved so me and my sister could have something we probably didn't really need. We would always come home with new pets he bought us and made our mom mad. I always remember getting everything I wanted with him. Another thing I love about my dad is that he always can make me laugh. That is something I find rare in people. Everyone isn't funny like him. There is never a dull moment. He is always making fun of someone.

Michele Correa, my mom. She's always been the sensible one. She always made sure we had what we needed. She was a great mom. There was not a day that she didn't do my hair for me and my sis. We always had the cutest clothes and things. She spoiled us. I love that I am just like her in some ways. Especially in the way that she always wanted to be a mother. Just a mom. And even though today in life that might not be very reasonable but that is exactly what I want to be, a mom. She understands my need for that.

Cassidy Correa, my little sister. She is now 16 years old. I remember when I was 16, it's a great age to be. I hope she doesn't grow up too fast and takes the time to be a kid, because they don't last long enough. My sister and I haven't always been that close until recently. We had our bickering moments, fights, and name calling but what sister doesn't fight over clothes, or bathroom time. I wish I would have been a little nicer towards her and I am sure she feels the same way. I love her so much. Whenever we are together, we laugh. We bring up the past. We laugh about putting cake, cardboard, salt in my dad's last sip of beer. Or making fun of moms hair. We always laugh and that is something I love. I hope my sister knows how much she means to me even if we don't see each other that much anymore. I will always be there for her no matter what the future brings.

Sophie, my chihuahua. Yes, I consider my dog apart of my family. She is what made me fall in love with the chihuahua breed. I have never had a dog that cares about me as much as she has. She is like a little baby. I can hold her, carry her, dress her, feed her, talk to her, love her, buy her toys, buy her beds. She makes me so happy. She always makes sure I am okay. She knows  that I am sick and when I cry, she licks my tears and wags her tail and always makes me happy. She is a total daddy's girl. I've been told chihuahuas live a long time. I hope those moments are never cut short. I love you baby Soph.

Lucas, my chihuahua. Since I fell in love with Soph, I knew I could fall in love with another. I wanted another for Soph so she wouldn't be lonely and for me, so I can feel like I sort of saved him in a way and gave him a good home. Luke got his name from of course, Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill. I remember picking Luke out from his brothers. I saw him and D in the future doing boy things. The lady also gave me a "discount" on him, so how could I say no? He whined the whole way home. He is now 10 months old and my true baby. He is my cuddle bug. He is happiest in my shirt with his head poking out. I've learned it's true that female dogs bond with boys better and male dogs bond with girls better. He is my little baby that I think will always be my baby. I love you Lukey Duke!
