Good & Simple

The last few weeks have been so good, because it's been so simple.

Isabella is her happy, funny, loving self and I am trying not to take any of it for granted!

Her levels have all been going up slightly, and that's what they need to do...just keep going up.

We have had Easter Egg hunts, dates at the park, dress making, flower smelling, and quick clinic visits with Ty.

Life is good, and life is beautiful.

I see Bella enjoying herself each day, and it makes my heart wanna burst.

She is a light, and is loved everywhere she goes.

I still have people I run into telling me how they pray for her, and it's all I could ask for.  

These days seem to good to be true, but I will take them...one day at a time, 

just hanging out with my 2 bestest little friends.

Spring Break

I can't even put into words how wonderful it was to go to Sky Ranch as a family for Spring Break!

I feel SO blessed to be at the point that we are at, and to be able to go and enjoy just being together.

As we drove off, I was trying to take it ALL in, especially the little things.

Isabella's levels have just slowly risen the last few weeks, and continued to do that today before we left.

A few weeks ago, I had no idea if we would be in the hospital starting chemo & radiation for a BMT, or heading somewhere warm for Spring Break...

how GRATEFUL I am that we headed to someplace warm, happy & healthy!

We did so many fun things, but the funnest part was just doing nothing really big-together.

We swam, rode bikes, threw rocks, went to Zions (both Ty & Bella's 1st time), went on the razor, and just laid by the pool.

We did all the things that we haven't been able to do in a long time.

It's crazy how much we take for granted every single day.

The ability to just go places, to be around other people, to be free of hospitals, to not have restrictions...

to simply just leave town for a few days.

I needed this little family vacay, and so did everyone else!

It was perfection.

Dancing Again

Nothing makes Isabella more happy than to be dancing.

She is in her element, and she is really good at it!

When she wasn't able to go to dance class anymore, it broke my heart.

Every time we drive past the road the dance studio is on-she would ask me to go to dance.

I kept telling her that it was soon, not knowing when she would be able to go back.

Well today she went to class with one of her best friends Nora...

and it was a little glimpse of what I think heaven will be like.

It has been 5 months since she has gone, and I never knew when she would be able to go back.

Being there, watching her tiny little body dance was overwhelming.

I sat there and watched and tears streamed down my face, tears of pure happiness.

All I have wanted through this journey with Bella is for her to be happy and healthy...

and today she was both. I couldn't ask for more.

I don't take these moments for granted, they are miracles and I am grateful to experience them!

For Isabella to be doing so good, and to be doing what she loves, is truly a miracle.

I am trying to enjoy the moment, and I can say watching her dance today 

was one of the simplest, happiest moments of my life.

Oh how grateful I am, and how blessed we are to have her in our lives.

She is simply the best.  She is my light.  

Today was perfection!
