Slowly Spreading the Word

At this point we had a bigger grasp on what we were working with as far as my cancer went. And I didn’t want to share it to the world…okay, the facebook world until I could get this blog started and rolling. But we felt ready to tell some friends. Most of you know, I’m an open book. You can ask me whatever you like and I will happily share it with you, sometimes in too much detail. Sorry.

We had a crossfit comp scheduled for 10 days away with some peeps, seeing as this would take place after my port we decided the first people to share it with would be those two amazing people. So within a few days the Sopris Crossfit crew knew and that was just fine! We just didn’t have time to call everyone individually so it didn't bother me that it spread quickly to everyone. I was thankful and extremely grateful for all the amazing support we were immediately given. It made us love our small town community even more. A lot of Idaho friends may wonder why I don’t come back to Idaho where my family is for this adventure. I promise, we have the most amazing support system in Colorado and lots of friends that will keep me active and healthy, which is important during chemo.

I then sent a facebook message to some other very important Idaho and Colorado folks that aren't part of the Sopris gym. They too were amazing and so supportive!

A meal train was started by Meredith Carter and I will say that I am so stoked for this. I don’t expect anyone to do this, but woohoo! Tony and Kelli aren't the best cooks so I can’t wait to learn some new stuff. And well, you all know how much my hubby eats so this will possibly be the best thing for him. So thank you for everyone that is participating in that, we already really appreciate it. 

And thank you to everyone else that have sent the supportive texts, calls, cards and hugs. Getting cancer may suck, but a benefit is experiencing all the love and support from those you care about.
