We have completed the screening application for foster care and will be submitting it Monday!!! How exciting?! And absolutely scary at the same time. I'm sure this will be an emotional roller in itself, but there's nothing we can't handle. ♥️ Plus, Levi really wants a little brother or sister. 😜 I have also accepted… Continue reading The Johnson’s Journey

UPDATE, finally.
Well, it's definitely been a while since I've written a post. The last couple weeks of recovery from my surgery have been a whirlwind of emotions, pain, and overall understanding. Finally, every day is only getting better, and I had a doctor's appointment that was filled with great news (good lord, I needed that). I… Continue reading UPDATE, finally.
T – 2 Days
I'm now two days away from my surgery and I'll be completely honest, I'm terrified. I could wake up to one ovary removed, both, a full hysterectomy, and even a chemo port put in. Im trying my very best to remain optimistic, but boy, is that hard. I had pre-op blood work done this morning… Continue reading T – 2 Days
More Than Cancer
Because my life is so much more than cancer, let's talk about something I'm super passionate about: running. I've always struggled with my weight and used asthma as my crutch giving reason as to why I couldn't (wouldn't) work out. Unhappy with my self- image I began exercising, watching what I ate, and ultimately, discovered… Continue reading More Than Cancer
Glück: Defined.
I'm sure some of you are curious as to why the title of my blog is foreign: glück. Or maybe you're not, but I'm going to tell you anyways. 😜 My husband, Nathan, has an incredible memory and is seriously one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever met. When we first met, he… Continue reading Glück: Defined.
IT That Must Not Be Named
Harry Potter, arguably one of the best book and movie series to exist, defines the imaginary world of magic through friendships, heartache, kindness, and bravery. In a world where "He Who Must Not Be Named," is synonymous with fear, Harry shatters the normalcy and refuses to conform with the fearful alliance of others and insists… Continue reading IT That Must Not Be Named
God Must Think I’m Pretty Patient
Today, I was supposed to receive my biopsy results that were taken during my surgery last week and ultimately be the DETERMINATION of cancer/illness. I'm assuming you can imagine the immense level of anticipation and reluctant eagerness that engulfed not only me but those around me. I was even going to take a selfie and… Continue reading God Must Think I’m Pretty Patient
Raw Reality
Being completely honest, my number one goal for this blog was to provide people with insight and acknowledgment of the feeling, the horror, and the tremendous terror that floods the voids of a family when someone is sick. And I don't know if I can do that. I'm a great writer, but that's not what… Continue reading Raw Reality
My Dog has Gender Dysphoria
TODAY IS BEACH DAY! I have been progressively feeling better (relatively speaking), so we’ve decided to designate today as beach day. Since we live so close to New Smyrna Beach, we will be able to drive and park the car directly on the beach and not have to trek beach gear very far. The pain… Continue reading My Dog has Gender Dysphoria
