Since I have been sick sick sick the last 3 months. I wanted to throw out some thank you's to the people that have helped me so much in these troubled times:

Thanks to:

My mom. For the many meals that she prepared for us, and for doing half my canning this year. Thanks for listening to my daily complaining and always being there. For the many solutions to all my worries and problems.

My mother in law, Kandi. She has been so supportive. She checks in on me to make sure I'm surviving feeling sick. She always listens to the updates, even if I've told them to her before. It's also been hard for her not to spill the beans, so thanks for being so patient.

To all my sisters (especially Angie, Courtni, and Mauri) for all the tricks on how to deal with being sick, for making me laugh when I'm blue or frustrated that I can't eat. And for keeping me hopeful that days will be brighter soon.

My cousin Melissa, who has been so so helpful with every change that my body is going through and telling me the tricks of the trade on how to deal with them.

Finally to my wonderful husband! He is just amazing! He has carried me to bed from the bathroom floor countless times. Who has driven me to work everyday, so I don't have to get sick on the bus. Who has done dishes, laundry, cleaning, and cooking for the last 3 months. He has held me when my dreams wake me up crying in the middle of the night. He has gone to the store in search for that perfect food item that would hopefully stay down. Thank you so much, McCord. Words can not describe how much I've appreciated you.
