I had a CRAZY busy weekend! But I am also blessed that I'm still able to enjoy not only the days I spend relaxing in bed watching movies, but the days where I am on the run nonstop as well.
Friday night, I was horribly sick with a 24 hour stomach virus, but thank goodness I was better by Saturday morning because ain't nobody got time for the stomach virus!
I started my day early Saturday, waking up at 8, getting ready, then picking up one of my best friends by 9:30 to go to a graduation at 10.
This was my first year ever attending a high school graduation, but I had a great time!
I got to see one of my best friends, Valerie receive her diploma. Valerie and I have practically grown up together, she is one of the most honest and down to Earth friends I have. Everyone needs that friend that warns you before you make an incredibly stupid decision.. She's mine.
We've laughed and cried together over the years and I am so blessed that I am still here on this Earth to watch her receive her high school diploma.
I am so, so proud of this girl and I cannot wait to see everything she accomplishes in the future!
After Valerie's graduation ended, I had to go to another graduation at 1.
Next, I got to see my boyfriend, Jacob receive his diploma! I have known Jacob for about 3 years now and our families are very close. We have only been dating for a little over a month, but he is everything I could ask for in a boyfriend and more. He is so sweet and caring and he always helps me with whatever I need, which is a big thing for someone with a chronic illness. I am so proud of the man he has become and I can't wait to see all the amazing opportunities the future holds for him!
As I was leaving the school parking lot, I saw one of the valedictorians, I rolled my window down to tell her she had an amazing speech and to ask her if she found the friend that I came with because he was going to her graduation party after. After we talked, I went to roll my window back up and she stopped me and said "MaKenzie, I'm praying for you." Those 5 words... They made my day, and 2 days later, it's still on my mind.. It's the things like that, that mean the most.
On Sunday, I went to another graduation party, then went to my sweet little cousin's 2nd birthday party where I rode a mini pony, and got to pet a kangaroo and a camel.
Also, I was able to make it through this weekend with no outrageous ostomy leaks, so I thank the lord for that. I am excited to see what is in store for these upcoming weeks.
Next Monday, I go back for another IV Infusion of Entivyo, thank you for all of the continued prayers.
"Just another day in the life."
