Happy Halloween-Part 2! Happy Halloween (again)!
(yes, I put a red tint on the pic in case you were wondering!)
I just had to post again after my vigourous hour of raking, although I usually restrict myself to 1 post a day! Haha.

Anyways, it was so nice to do something fall-ish on Halloween and something that made me feel more 'normal'. It was also a nice counter-action to having to go to the Dr on Monday for a shot (ugh).

I hadn't really raked for about 9 years-hard to believe! I was sick for SO many years...the last time really sticks out too because it was right before I was diagnosed. My back was hurting SOO much and my Dad said, "Rachel, what would you like me to do?... Surgery? It's not going to help your back."

Poor guy-he's never lived that comment down. At that point, the pediatrician had assured us my pain was from an overly heavy backpack, like all the other kids...

I am grateful for getting a working out doing normal things, having had that surgery that relieved the tumor off my spine and enjoying the fall weather. About: dads, diagnosis, fall, father, happy halloween, leaves, raking, surgery 
I'm so happy for you that you wanted to do 2 posts! I'm so happy for you that you did something "normal" like rake leaves!!! It feels so good when we can just do something "simple" like that.

I could hear the glee in your words!!!

Haha, I have SO many ideas that I could probably do 2 posts a day but I limit myself for various reasons ;).

Thanks, as always, for the lovely comments!
